Fox Sports lead color commentator Tom Brady apparently would like to remind the world that he’s in top physical condition even though he is no longer an active NFL quarterback.
Brady took to Instagram where he posted a couple of shirtless workout pictures, instantly making the rest of us feel like chumps. He also revealed to fans his morning circuit training, which includes some new freestyle swimming exercises.
“Color analysts have to stay in shape too!” he captioned his post.
Brady noted that his workout was done in gear by No Bull, a company that provides training apparel, sneakers, and proper nutrition for athletes.
“Added some swimming into the workout routine this year,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion said. “Great muscle resistance and some aerobic cardio all at once.”

Tom Brady Shirtless Photos A Subtle Reminder
My assessment is that Tom Brady and his shirtless workout photos are just a subtle reminder that the 47-year-old could still contribute to an NFL team if he wanted to.
Yes, he’s closer to 50 than 40, but he’s in better shape than all of us. And even “dad bod” Patrick Mahomes.
Brady is only three weeks into his color commentator role and has thus far earned mixed reviews. He clearly stumbled out of the gate, with Skip Bayless stating he’ll never be better than a “sixth-round broadcaster.”
Which is a play off the fact that Brady was a sixth-round NFL draft pick in 2000. Bayless may want to be careful though. The irony here is that Brady would clearly go on to prove everybody wrong and become the most decorated quarterback in NFL history.
And not by a little. By a lot.
Could he have a similar turnaround in the broadcast booth? In subsequent games, Brady has become more relaxed and improved his delivery according to some analysts.
He captured the feeling of most Dallas Cowboys fans during the broadcast of their game against the Baltimore Ravens when an exasperated Brady declared, “Another penalty, oh my God.”
Cowboy fans have been saying that about their undisciplined team for well over a decade now.

Does He Have Something Left?
Tom Brady loves to show off. Shirtless or otherwise. During the Summer Olympics, he posted a video asking about his “flexing” on social media.
“I just want to make sure all those young bucks in the NFL know that if I still wanted to come out of retirement, they still got something to deal with,” he said, throwing a football off of a yacht.
It was just a few months ago he admitted he wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of coming out of retirement like Michael Jordan.
“I don’t know if they’re going to let me if I become the owner of an NFL team,” he said. “But I don’t know — I’m always going to be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball.”
“To come in for a little bit like [Michael Jordan] coming back, I don’t know if they’d let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
Brady signed a 10-year contract worth $375 million to join Fox Sports. He can certainly afford to buy some new shirts.
