You can already feel Tom Brady backing off his putt.

In a recent conversation with Stephen A. Smith, Brady went wide-range on a number of topics, and almost all of it was entertaining. For those who stop paying attention to football every season once the Super Bowl ends, it turns out that Brady has spent years of downtime refining his craft as a public speaker. The man can deliver a line.

He’s a product-hawker, a positive-mindset reinforcer. He will gladly accept your contract offer to tell your corporation what it needs to do to win!

But on the subject of how this whole NFL top-analyst thing is going to go, Brady sounded more introspective while speaking with Smith than he had been previously. He suggested — in a way that seemed both thoughtful and somewhat logical — that he might pull his punches on the FOX NFL broadcasts.

Rather than let loose with his actual reaction, Brady said, he’d temper it a bit.

I mean, terrible idea. But hear him out.
