After a long wait, former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady had his bid approved by NFL owners to become a minority owner of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
Tom Brady spent ample time trying to finalize a deal to join the Raiders’ ownership group led by Mark Davis. However, there was some doubt that Brady would get approval from the other owners because of the strict rules he had to follow as a commentator for FOX Sports.
In an article posted by ESPN’s Seth Wickersham on August 28, the seven-time Super Bowl champion must follow six rules as an NFL analyst on FOX. The first three relate to preparation/film study ahead of his weekly game assignments:
“Brady would not be permitted to be in another team’s facility, would not be permitted to witness practice and would not be permitted to attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually.”
The fourth rule also states that Tom Brady cannot “publicly” criticize NFL officials or opposing teams. Otherwise, if his criticism is considered too severe, he could face a fine or suspension.
The 47-year-old also has to follow the NFL’s gambling and tampering policies. The last rule states that Brady is allowed “strictly social communication with members of other clubs.”

Brady signed a 10-year deal with FOX Sports worth $375 million in the 2022 offseason before he began his final season as an NFL quarterback with the Bucs. He is on the network’s No. 1 team with play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews.
Tom Brady Will Call Chiefs vs. 49ers On Sunday
Brady and Burkhardt called the Detroit Lions’ 47-9 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. The NFL legend has already called four Cowboys games, three of which were blowouts.
Fortunately, he gets a juicy matchup on Sunday with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visiting the San Francisco 49ers, Brady’s childhood team. This will also be a rematch of Super Bowl 58 eight months ago, which the Chiefs won in overtime.

NBA fans are praying for basketball icon Michael Jordan following the emergence of a certain photo.
Jordan, who is widely considered to be the greatest NBA player of all time, was in France this week watching Monaco play Barcelona. The teams squared off for a UEFA Champions League showdown at the Louis II Stadium on Thursday, with the home side snatching a shocking 2-1 victory.
Photos of MJ in the stands quickly surfaced online, with his eyes a worrying shade of yellow.
Check it out below:
The outing hardly marked the first time Jordan’s eyes got fans talking, but it appears whatever the condition is has gotten worse. Most fans are of the view that he’s jaundiced due to excessive drinking and could be dealing with liver problems.
