“My aspirations are still to be the No. 1 analyst, whether at Fox or elsewhere,” Olsen said.

“That will never change as long as I do this. I’m not just happy to be there.

“I’m not just happy to have a place. I want the highest place, and I want it whenever the opportunity allows, and I will never stop working for it.

“I feel more motivated to do it now than ever before.”

The legendary Brady won seven Super Bowls in his storied career.

He won six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He retired, for the second time, in 2023 and will now embark on a new career in broadcasting.

“I believe I can provide a unique perspective that I think many people will enjoy.

“It’s going to be a lot of work. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

It was recently revealed that Brady’s first game in the booth will be the Cleveland Browns at the Dallas Cowboys.
