For the last 20 years, Tom Brady and Super Bowls have gone hand in hand. And this year Brady is going to the Super Bowl again. Even with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggling in the regular season, nothing has changed for the GOAT. Well, not entirely. He might be going to Super Bowl LVII as a broadcaster, if not as a quarterback.

Brady might be covering Super Bowl LVII as a part of the FOX Sports NFL crew alongside Kevin Burkhardt. The seven-time Super Bowl champion can be seen broadcasting the championship game as a sports analyst if the Buccaneers fail to make the playoffs.

Brady seems committed to the Buccaneers even though the pirate army is struggling this season and said, “I love the sport and I love the teammates and you know, I wanna go do a great job for this team like I always have.”
