The move caused Olsen to be bumped from his top role to the No. 2 analyst last season.
Olsen has been open about reclaiming a top analyst role in the future.
During an appearance on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast, Olsen opened up about his desire to be a No. 1 analyst while mentioning his personal relationship with Brady.
“I’ve been very adamant about where I stand, and it doesn’t always come through with headlines,” Olsen said.
“I always make sure I’m very clear where my personal aspirations to continue to ascend in this industry and to get back calling those games are completely independent of Tom and I.
“We’ve hung out, personally.
“We talk on the phone, we keep in touch, he sent a cool video for my youth football team… we talk about raising teenage daughters, we’ve gone to play golf together, we hung out at the Bahamas at a little retreat.
“We’ve gotten to be very good friends on a very personal level since he’s joined Fox.”
Olsen has been a popular broadcaster on Fox and has continued to earn rave reviews from fans on the network’s broadcasts.
The former NFL icon tight end spoke about those who believe that he and Brady don’t get along.
“There’s this idea that there’s this personal animosity and competition,” Olsen said.
“There’s not. My relationship with Tom and Fox and Joe Davis and Burkhardt and all my people at Fox couldn’t be better.
“On the other parallel line to that yes, I want to ascend in the industry, and I’m sure Joe Davis wants to call Super Bowls as well, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like Burkhradt.
“Any motivated guy, you want to be the best at what you do.
