FOX\u2019s<\/a> decision to commit $375 million<\/a> to Tom Brady<\/a> over the next 10 years hasn\u2019t sat well with one of his co-workers. <\/p>\n

Terry Bradshaw<\/a>, who\u2019s been with FOX since 1994, recently appeared on the “To The Point \u2014 Home Services Podcast<\/a>” and aired his grievances about how much money the network made last NFL season \u2014 especially after the viewership Super Bowl LIX brought in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s 330 million people in America. That is a ton. The FOX pregame show averaged 28 million for five hours,\u201d Bradshaw said<\/a>. \u201cWho in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours? <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know how much money they made?\u201d he continued<\/a>. \u201cGod. More money than plumbers, I can assure you that. $28 million. And I guarantee you, if you go in there and ask for a raise, \u201dWell, we don\u2019t have any. We\u2019re running a little tight.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bradshaw then specifically pointed to Brady\u2019s deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I\u2019ll take it. I did some bad deals, that\u2019s what it was.”<\/p>\n

FOX committed the time and money to Brady in 2022 \u2014 before the longtime quarterback even retired. Once he took over in the booth, it pushed Greg Olsen<\/a> to the No. 2 crew<\/a>. Olsen became<\/a> a fan favorite during his time<\/a> alongside Kevin Burkhardt.<\/p>\n

Bradshaw\u2019s \u201cFOX NFL Sunday\u201d has been the most-watched pregame show for over three decades.<\/p>\n
