Drew Brees talks FOX debut ahead of Packers vs. Giants<\/p>\n
Drew Brees discusses his FOX debut and what fans can expect as he calls Sunday\u2019s Packers\u2013Giants game.<\/p>\n
Drew Brees is returning to the broadcast booth to call NFL games for FOX.He is replacing Mark Sanchez and will be paired with play-by-play announcer Adam Amin.This marks his first full-time game-calling role since his previous broadcasting stint three years ago.<\/p>\n
Three years ago, Drew Brees said he felt like he could be one of the best NFL broadcasters out there \u2013 even if the Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Fame quarterback’s first go-round in the booth wasn’t a success.<\/p>\n
When asked if he still felt that way, Brees left no doubt.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, absolutely,” Brees recently told USA TODAY Sports. “I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t. It’s not just to scratch an itch. This is \u2013 look, I love the game, I’m passionate about the game, I feel like I’ve got so much to offer.”<\/p>\n
Brees is calling NFL games full-time for the first time as of Week 11’s contest between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants<\/a>, as the newest cast member of the NFL on Fox’s announcing team. He is replacing Mark Sanchez \u2013 booted following his arrest<\/a> in a stabbing incident<\/a> in Indianapolis earlier this season \u2013 on the roster and will call games alongside play-by-play man Adam Amin.<\/p>\n As Brees surveyed the NFL media landscape, he realized he wanted to be calling games. He did studio work for Netflix during last season’s Christmas Day games and has done the same for Fox and ESPN, with appearances on shows such as “First Take” and “Get Up.”<\/p>\n Preparing to call a game, however, reminds the two-time Offensive Player of the Year of what it was like to study an opponent and play them on Sunday. His goal is not original among broadcasters: he wants to be fun and insightful.<\/p>\n Brees immediately jumped into broadcasting with NBC after his playing career ended following the 2020 season. He called Notre Dame home games and also appeared on the “Sunday Night Football” pregame show, “Football Night In America.”<\/p>\n The multi-year contract ended after one season<\/a>, amid negative reviews for Brees during his call of a NFL playoff game between the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> and Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>.<\/p>\n Where Brees wants to separate himself from other broadcasters, he said, is leveraging his relationships with coaches and players across the NFL. That information will hopefully translate to a better viewing experience for the fans watching \u2013 and listening.<\/p>\n “I’m excited about getting back in the booth,” Brees said, “and getting with the fans.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drew Brees talks FOX debut ahead of Packers vs. Giants Drew Brees discusses his FOX debut and what…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1758,821,3689,247,265,822,228,4485,4486,1872,227,256,3690,441,12,388,7,519,3688,6489,60574,20842,379,523,393,820,830,60573,248,267,13476,8255,246,206,56,88,6,35196,245,264,537,530,525,9,266,8256,678,3691,8258,776,524,225],"class_list":{"0":"post-530107","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-tv","9":"tag-affiliate","10":"tag-ai","11":"tag-american","12":"tag-american-football","13":"tag-arts","14":"tag-bengals","15":"tag-celebrities","16":"tag-celebrities-u0026-entertainment-news","17":"tag-christmas","18":"tag-cincinnati","19":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","20":"tag-enabled","21":"tag-entertainment","22":"tag-espn","23":"tag-espn-inc","24":"tag-football","25":"tag-giants","26":"tag-highlights","27":"tag-holiday","28":"tag-holiday-marketplace-hub","29":"tag-hub","30":"tag-inc","31":"tag-las","32":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","33":"tag-local","34":"tag-local-affiliate-arts-u0026-entertainment","35":"tag-marketplace","36":"tag-national","37":"tag-national-sports","38":"tag-netflix","39":"tag-networks","40":"tag-neutral","41":"tag-new","42":"tag-new-york-giants","43":"tag-news","44":"tag-nfl","45":"tag-nfl-hub","46":"tag-overall","47":"tag-overall-neutral","48":"tag-overall-positive","49":"tag-positive","50":"tag-raiders","51":"tag-sports","52":"tag-sports-news","53":"tag-stations","54":"tag-story","55":"tag-story-highlights-ai-enabled","56":"tag-tv-networks-u0026-stations","57":"tag-u0026","58":"tag-vegas","59":"tag-york"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
