The BOSTON GLOBE looks at how Tom Brady "isn’t holding back with his observations." The idea of Brady being "open and honest with his observations is thrilling." He has "already shown himself to be a good communicator in the increasing regular media appearances he’s made since taking a year off after his playing career." Brady once expressed "concern he might be too critical in his new job as an NFL analyst." The idea of Brady "lighting up the Fox booth the way Tony Romo once did for CBS seemed improbable at best, impossible at most." But Brady during an hourlong sitdown with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith at the Fanatics Fest in New York this past week dropped "quite the fascinating tease that he’s ready to unleash his sharp tongue and sharp insight."
