Tom Brady and Larry Fitzgerald take questions from sailors on the USS America

11/10/2014

Brady fanIn honor of Veterans Day, the pregame and halftime shows of tonight’s Westwood One Monday Night Football broadcast of the Carolina Panthers/Philadelphia Eagles game was originated live on the brand new naval ship USS America, stationed in San Diego Harbor.

Westwood One host Jim Gray was joined on the ship by Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, who mingled with sailors. During the broadcast, several sailors had a chance to ask questions of weekly Monday Night Football contributors Tom Brady and Larry Fitzgerald – including one who asked Brady which Manning brother he likes least and another (pictured above) who wore his favorite quarterback’s jersey to the show.
