Social Media Reacts To Joe Thomas’ Armpit Sweat During Broadcast

Make no mistake about it, former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas is a legend in Cleveland.

Fans were ecstatic to hear the news that he would be in the booth doing color commentary during the Browns 2021 preseason.

Today during the Browns game against the Giants, temperatures were definitely steamy.

A thermometer was not needed to measure it; all fans needed to do was keep a watchful eye on Thomas’ armpits.

Even The Browns Got In On The Fun

The official Cleveland Browns Twitter account also poked fun at the situation, and Thomas had the perfect reply.

Thomas brings the same intensity, excitement, and love for the Browns to the broadcast booth that he brought to the field as a player.

He has received positive fan reception in the booth despite the pit stains.

Joe Thomas is significantly better than almost all the analysts working on Sundays for the major networks. Somebody should hire him now.

The Browns’ final preseason game is scheduled for Sunday, August 29 at Atlanta.

Sadly, for Joe Thomas fans, this game will be aired on NBC’s Sunday Night Football so Joe Thomas will not be in the booth.
