NFL announcer Greg Olsen makes true feelings on Tom Brady clear after legend stole his Fox Sports job

NFL broadcaster Greg Olsen has revealed his true feelings for Tom Brady after the legend replaced him at Fox’s top football color commentator – they’re ‘very good friends’. 

The longtime Patriot and Buccaneer replaced the former Panthers тιԍнт end to become part of the No 1 pair for the network in the broadcast booth. 

Olsen was demoted to the No 2 crew by a rookie commentator, with his feelings on the move staying low-key until now.  

‘I always make sure I’m very clear where my personal aspirations to continue to ascend in this industry and to get back calling those games are completely independent of Tom and I,’ Olsen said on ‘Pardon My Take’. 

‘We’ve hung out, personally. We talk on the phone, we keep in touch, he sent a cool video for my youth football team… we talk about raising teenage daughters, we’ve gone to play golf together, we hung out at the Bahamas at a little retreat. We’ve gotten to be very good friends on a very personal level since he’s joined Fox.’

Olsen still has a desire to be part of a top broadcast duo in the NFL and appears to see every call as an opportunity.

‘There’s this idea that there’s this personal animosity and compeтιтion. There’s not,’ Olsen continued. ‘My relationship with Tom and Fox and Joe Davis and Burkhardt and all my people at Fox couldn’t be better.’

‘On the other parallel line to that, yes, I want to ascend in the industry, and I’m sure Joe Davis wants to call Super Bowls as well, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like Burkhardt. Any motivated guy, you want to be the best at what you do. That is not a knock on the people that are ahead of you.’

Brady signed a 10-year, $375million contract with Fox, as the football legend transitioned from the field to the broadcast booth.

Last month, Brady was on the receiving end of as major snub from the Emmys, with him not being nominated in the ‘Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst’ category, while watching Olsen get the nod.  

Olsen was nominated in the category for the fourth straight year alongside Troy Aikman, longtime Brady rival Peyton Manning, Bill Raftery, and John Smoltz.
