Dan Patrick has his suspicions on why Drew Brees is leaving NBC.
The Post’s Andrew Marchand broke the story on Sunday that Brees and NBC Sports are splitting up soon after just one year collectively. Brees sort of denied the tale in a tweet, declaring it was not finalized, citing remaining at NBC as an option together with returning to the NFL and other means he could expend his yr.
Patrick is the former host of NBC’s “Football Evening in The united states,” and painted a picture of the studio exhibit remaining monotonous for someone like Brees, who is accustomed to the action on the industry.
“I consider this has to do with Drew Brees stating, ‘There’s no pleasurable remaining a studio analyst,'” Patrick claimed. “He’s Drew Brees! He’s utilised to going out to a stadium, folks either yelling your identify simply because they assistance you and really like you, or yelling at you due to the fact you could beat their crew that day. You go to an antiseptic studio in Stamford, Conn., Sunday morning. You stroll in and see Mike Florio, Peter King, Chris Simms. You’re probably going: ‘This isn’t enjoyment!'”
Patrick contrasted the studio, exactly where somebody could possibly get 30-40 seconds at a time to speak, with match broadcasts, which attribute a frequent stream of dialogue in the booth at the stadium.
“Being at a game is really crucial for Drew Brees, because you can hardly ever replicate that [playing], but the closest you can get is to be at a sport web page and carrying out the sport!” Patrick claimed.
Although Brees, who turned 43 in January, was on the Notre Dame broadcasts, it did not look that he was in line to triumph Cris Collinsworth as the “Sunday Night time Football” colour commentator anytime quickly.
For now, we’ll see if Brees stays a broadcaster, perhaps at Fox Sports, exactly where they will be waiting at least 1 a lot more 12 months for Tom Brady to sign up for the major NFL announce booth, or do a thing else with his time.
