Fox Sports has let go of NFL analyst Mark Sanchez and hired Drew Brees in his place.

The NFL is easing some restrictions on Tom Brady as he prepares for his second season as Fox Sports' top analyst.

Tom Brady addressed questions about his move to broadcasting as well as other issues on Wednesday during a conference call previewing Sunday’s Super Bowl 59 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Even as Tom Brady goes through his first postseason and prepares to call his first Super Bowl in three weeks as a television analyst, rumors about his future continue to be rampant, much to the dismay of Fox Sports.

LOS ANGELES Fox will be taking viewers out to the ballgame by adding a virtual crowd in parks during its baseball telecasts this season. Judging how fan opinions about crowd noise being added to baseball games have been mixed, Fox may draw some jeers for adding fans to empty ballparks. We know it is a virtual crowd. Zager added that Fox will enhance the crowd noise in addition to what MLB is supplying in the park. He also said discussions are ongoing with the National Football League about crowd noise and virtual fans since there haven't been any final decisions.
