Shaquille O’Neal thinks Tom Brady deserves each individual penny of his $375 million offer with Fox Sports activities.
On Thursday’s episode of his display, “The Large Podcast with Shaq,” the NBA legend, 50, talked about Brady’s broadcasting future with his co-hosts, Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams – notably the 10-calendar year deal really worth 9 figures upon his NFL retirement. O’Neal then made it clear that anyone scoffing at Brady’s payday is a “hater.”
“When it will come to greatness of this type, if you lend any anger, you’re a hater,” O’Neal said, according to Mediaite. “Everybody cannot and ain’t gonna get this income. 7 Super Bowls. Clear lower. Very good hunting. Speaks well. He justifies all the money. Whoever states he do not deserve this income, shut your facial area.”
Fox Sporting activities verified Tuesday that Brady, 44, would slide into the booth as soon as he decides to dangle up his cleats for excellent. The 7-time Super Bowl champ briefly stepped absent from the game in February, prior to coming out of retirement 40 times later to rejoin the Buccaneers.
“Excited, but a good deal of unfinished company on the discipline with the @Buccaneers #LFG,” Brady tweeted Tuesday.
The Post’s Andrew Marchand to start with documented Tuesday that Brady’s offer with Fox Sporting activities would net him nearly $40 million a calendar year. When he does retire from the NFL, Brady will sign up for Kevin Burkhardt in the booth.
While it stays to be seen when Brady will make his broadcasting debut, fellow quarterback-turned-analyst Kurt Warner observed there could be some difficulties forward.
“You go from currently being great at anything to pondering if you’re ever going to be superior at anything at all else,” Warner not too long ago told The San Diego Union-Tribune. “You have to fight that struggle just like anyone else does that goes from a single occupation to an additional. You have to create your self-confidence up and determine out who you want to be.”
Warner, who at this time appears on NFL Network, added that it could also be a tough undertaking when it comes to toeing a vital line.
“That’s 1 of the problems as you get into tv: What am I heading to be as an analyst?” he stated. “One of the toughest items is, when you’re a male like Tom Brady that everybody likes and you want to be appreciated by people, and you have to figure out how to really review and be essential of what’s likely on but not be significant of individuals.”
In the meantime, Brady is focusing on his 23rd NFL season, which kicks off Sunday, Sept. 11, in a Week 1 road video game in opposition to the Cowboys.
