In June 2018, Breer took over as writer of the Monday Morning Quarterback column from Peter King, who left Sports Illustrated for NBC Sports. He is also a content strategist for The MMQB, Sports Illustrated's NFL vertical.
Notable incidents
Breer was the writer most often questioning former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick in the famous 2014 "We're on to Cincinnati" press conference. Breer has said that this led the NFL Network to ban him from covering the Patriots for the remainder of his contract.[4] Breer was suspended from the NFL Network from April 25, 2016, through June 1, 2016, for undisclosed reasons and was prohibited from posting on social media during that time. Prior to his suspension he had agreed to take a position with the MMQB.[5]
In May 2017 Breer dismissed widely reported allegations that baseball player Adam Jones was the target of racist taunts by fans at Fenway Park because, according to Breer "I've probably been to 200 games at Fenway in my life. Never heard a slur yelled at a player."[6] The same year, Breer defended NFL front offices against allegations of "blackballing" Colin Kaepernick for his decision to protest the national anthem.[7]
