    NFL icon Tom Brady was almost impossible to stop with the game on the line – and he may be the same as a broadcaster.

    The new FOX Sports analyst, 47, is making his highly-anticipated debut in the booth when the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns collide Sunday.

    Brady appeared on FS1 show The Herd this week and was visibly buzzing with excitement.

    He was discussing how the salary cap makes the NFL more competitive than some college showdowns.

    Host Colin Cowherd was desperate to take the show to a commercial break, but could not get a word in.

    He was raising his hand ready to sign off once in the 30-second clip , only to miss his chance.

    “Tom Brady. Good seeing you. Good luck. Hour two next,” Cowherd said quickly as he finally found an opportunity.

    “You’ve basically booted the GOAT off air there,” commented one viewer.

    “Really wish the GOAT was still playing…Missing THE MAN in the arena @TomBrady,” added a second.

    Last month, it was revealed that Brady’s minority stake purchase in the Las Vegas Raiders could have major implications for his new career.

    Brady’s bid for 10 percent of the NFL franchise has been stuck in the league’s finance committee since last summer.

    Should his application be approved by NFL owners later this year, his new role on Fox could be hit by “unique and severe restrictions”, per ESPN .

    Team owners were given a presentation by the league in Minneapolis, MN.

    Brady’s potential conflict of interest means he would “not be permitted to be in another team’s facility,” per the ESPN report.

    The outlet also claims Brady would be “unable to witness practice and would not be permitted to attend broadcast production meetings.”

    Brady’s potential stake in the Raiders could also have huge implications for his on-air output.

    'I want him to be great'

    Terry Bradshaw has given Tom Brady some advice ahead of the seven-time Super Bowl champion joining him on Fox's NFL coverage.

    And the Pittsburgh Steelers icon said he is rooting for Brady to succeed.

    Tom has always had a protection thing there,” Bradshaw told US Weekly .

    “We know about his wife, we know about his kids. We know a little bit about him, but we don’t really know him. In Tom’s situation, there is a certain amount of unknown that spurs on curiosity.

    “I want him to be great, and I think he will be. But we don’t know enough about him.

    “Will we see a different side? Will he be funny? Will he be witty? Will he break the game down properly?

    “I’m pulling for him, because television is not easy. You can’t lie to the camera because it picks it up.”

    The NFL has numerous rules in place that apply to all owners.

    One rule states the former superstar quarterback would be prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams.

    He could be “subject to fines or even a suspension” if he went too far on air, per ESPN.

    Brady would also be subject to the league’s gambling policy.

    And he would be permitted only “strictly social communication with members of other clubs,” according to a slide presented by the NFL and seen by ESPN.

    The outlet added representatives for Fox and the Raiders did not respond when asked for comment.
