What did Murdoch say about Brady’s role?

According to Lachlan, Fox won’t just be looking at Brady solely as an analyst. According to him, “The important thing with Tom, what got me really engaged and excited about the opportunity, is that in addition to being a senior analyst on Sundays, he will be our partner in sports. An ambassador for Fox.”
