Good morning! It’s Davey Mac here with another Sports Report for ya! NASCAR makes the Report this morning! As does NBA, NHL, and NFL news! But first!
Tom Brady will start his Fox Sports career in the fall of 2024…shooting down rumors that Brady may appear at the Super Bowl telecast this Sunday (which happens to be on FOX).

Brady is getting a whopping $375 million for ten years of broadcasting. Aye, carumba! Number 12 says he needs to decompress from football for a bit…but then added that he wants to “take some time to really learn” and “become great” at broadcasting.

I’m not totally sold on Brady being great at broadcasting. I’m not sure he has the personality for TV. And who’s gonna teach him charisma onscreen? I mean…Bill Belichick can’t coach Brady on THAT!

If Brady is half as good as Gronk is on TV, then he’ll have no problem. But that’s a big “if.” I’m Davey Mac…that’s my Sports Two Cents!

Eagles' Sirianni Motivated To Beat Chiefs' Reid
It’s Super Bowl Week, of course, and so we’re getting some storylines already.

Sirianni says Reid handled it in a classy manner…but the experience still puts a chip on his shoulder. Interesting!
