On Tuesday night, veteran play-by-play announcer Dave O’Brien served up one of the funniest walk-off calls MLB fans will hear all year.

Legendary Giants quarterback Phil Simms can’t envision Tom Brady calling games from the broadcasters booth.
Simms is almost in complete disbelief that Brady will call NFL games after watching him operate as a player for over two decades.
Like watching Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky transition into their next venture, Brady faces the challenge of building upon his legacy in retirement, which will start with becoming a lead color commentator for Fox Sports.
