Greg Olsen, who was part of the second-most watched TV broadcast during Super Bowl LVII, expressed his disappointment after being replaced by Tom Brady in Fox's No. 1 broadcasting team for the upcoming Super Bowl LIX. Despite acknowledging he holds no ill will towards Brady or his colleagues, Olsen admitted it’s difficult to watch games he previously prepared for. His comments reflect the emotional toll of being demoted after two successful years as a commentator following his NFL career, where he was integral to Fox’s broadcasting success.
It sucks, Olsen told the Charlotte Observer. While resentment likely isn't the best word to describe his feelings, it's not too far off, if I'm honest.
I don’t have any ill will... But yeah, it’s hard to sit there and watch games that over the last couple of years you were preparing for and you were calling.
Olsen replaced Buck and Aikman as Fox's No. 1 announcing team, calling network's biggest games with Burkhardt, prior to being replaced by Tom Brady.
Olsen's expressed feelings reflect his struggle to accept his replacement after being a crucial part of the Super Bowl LVII broadcast.
