Tom Brady made a brutal ‘discovery’ about his Fox Sports contract on Sunday – as the NFL legend was informed he’d have to work on Thanksgiving.
Brady, who called the Packers’ win over the 49ers for the network earlier in the afternoon, appeared on Fox’s ‘The OT’ postgame show when host Curt Menefee dropped some big news on him.
‘Hey Tom, [Michael] Strahan’s first year, he learned that he actually had to work on Thanksgiving Day,’ Menefee began.
‘He thought he had it off. Did they tell you that before you came? You have to work on Thanksgiving Day this year!’
Brady then pretended to make a shocked face before saying, ‘What?’

Brady is in his first year as Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst following his retirement from the NFL in February 2023.
He signed a 10-year, $375million deal before finally beginning to call games this fall.
Brady was criticized by fans earlier in the season as he debuted on air.
He acknowledged in a YouTube video on his channel that his first showing – in which he called a Cowboys-Browns games – had some room for improvement.
‘Certainly a lot of fun, definitely some things to clean up,’ he said. ‘So it’s all a learning process.’
