ESPN pundit Chris Russo criticized Fox Sports for heavily promoting Tom Brady's return to Gillette Stadium as a broadcaster instead of focusing on the game. Fox is broadcasting Sunday's matchup between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers, which features starting quarterbacks Drake Maye and Jordan Love. Brady, who won six Super Bowls with New England, is calling his first Patriots home game from the booth.

Russo argued that fans care more about the game itself and noted Brady had already returned multiple times since leaving the franchise. In contrast, Brady stated the return would be emotional for him, while current Patriots quarterback Maye expressed excitement about having the franchise legend call the contest.
