FOODBALL IS BACK!

AMERICA IS DEFINITELY ready for some football. And so are the NFL’s players and coaches: Trades have been confirmed, and training camps are wrapping up. “This season is going to bring with it enormous relief to people who just want a sense of normalcy back,” says Joe Buck, lead announcer of NFL on Fox.

All eyes are on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they welcome star quarterback Tom Brady, who won a record six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots. At the age of 43—the oldest QB in the NFL—can Brady win a seventh? His new gig is “the story of the season,”. The big move led veteran Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski to come out of retirement and reunite with his former teammate in Tampa. Also strengthening the Bucs offense: running back LeSean McCoy, exiting last season’s Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. “I’m in the camp that Brady’s going to have a hell of a year,” says Buck. “Is he older? Absolutely. Can he defy his numeric age? Yes. The Buccaneers are going to be a tough team to beat.”
