No snow, no problem for Tom Brady.
Hours after Josh Allen and the Bills demolished the 49ers in a snowy “Sunday Night Football” clash in Buffalo, the legendary quarterback-turned-Fox broadcaster shared a shirtless snap on Instagram as he enjoyed the warm weather fishing.
“A little warmer than it looked in Buffalo last night,” Brady captioned Monday’s post, which also featured a photo of the seven-time Super Bowl champ golfing.
Unsurprisingly, Brady’s thirst trap triggered a flurry of reactions from his 15 million followers.
“Life is good buddy,” Brady’s ex-Patriots teammate, Tedy Bruschi, commented while the Buccaneers’ account replied, “Florida mannn.”
Brady, 47, evaded the outdoors Thursday when calling his first Thanksgiving game for Fox, analyzing the Cowboys’ 27-20 win over the Giants inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Miles away in the winter wonderland of Western New York, his NBC counterparts, Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico, bundled up at Highmark Stadium to watch the Bills clinch the AFC East with a 35-10 victory over San Francisco on Sunday.
Allen, just days removed from announcing his engagement to actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld, went 13-for-17 for 148 yards and two touchdowns.
The most notable play from the MVP candidate came in the second half when he tossed the ball to wide receiver Amari Cooper, who hurled it back to Allen as the quarterback dove for the goal line for a touchdown.
“It’s got to be up there. I wish he got credited for something there, an assist or a passing touchdown,” Allen said, according to the Associated Press. “I just kind of chased the ball to be there and we made eye contact. … It was dope.”
The Bills, now 10-2, will visit the Rams next Sunday, followed by a potential Super Bowl matchup against the Lions on Dec. 15.
As for Brady, who called it a career in February 2023 after 23 seasons, he’s continuing to navigate what’s been an uneven season in the booth.
The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback — who agreed to a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox in 2022 — is still ironing out the wrinkles in his commentary, with network brass wanting him to illustrate more of what he’s seeing on the field into his analysis, according to a recent Puck Newsletter.
When he’s not in the booth, Brady is enjoying downtime in the Sunshine State, where his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, also resides.
Parents to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, the couple divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Bündchen is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente.
Brady is also a dad to 17-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.
