Michael Strahan tells Tom Brady ‘don’t feel bad’ after stunned reaction on Fox NFL Sunday about Thanksgiving coverage
After learning that the great quarterback will still be working on Thanksgiving, Michael Strahan sent Tom Brady some advise.
Brady, 47, worked Thanksgiving during his playing career and won’t be taking a vacation now that he’s a broadcaster.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be making his $375 million salary when he chooses to watch the New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Fox instead of Thanksgiving meal.
As he was told of his duty live on Fox’s NFL Sunday coverage, Brady quipped that he had no idea he would be needed.
While talking about the Green Bay Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Curt Menefee, host of “The OT,” informed him of the news.
He responded by saying: “Hey Tom, [Michael] Strahan’s first year, he learned that he actually had to work on Thanksgiving Day.”
