Brady became a co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders – and one of the stipulations for the New England Patriots icon is that he cannot criticize the referees in a game he’s calling.
So controversy hit Brady when he took issue with a referee who threw Brian Branch out of the Lions’ 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers last weekend.
The ref decision was met with controversy as Branch was ejected for unnecessary roughness after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers receiver Bo Melton.
Despite going against the rules, the NFL will not punish Brady for his remarks, as the league reportedly has no problem with his words.
So Fox announced that Brady is good to go for Week 10 as he will be part of the broadcasting crew for the San Francisco 49ers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
It had been known that Brady was slated to work the game.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion will work alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews.
Brady has had an up-and-down rookie season as a broadcaster, and his Week 10 opinion concerning Branch’s ejection was one of his latest blunders. went against the rules of being an announcer and a co-owner of an NFL team.
“I don’t love that call at all,” he said.
Brady broke the restriction that claims he is “prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams” while broadcasting games.
On Monday, an NFL spokesperson explained why Brady didn’t face discipline for his comments.
“The concern would be if Tom was egregiously critical of officiating or called into question the integrity of an official or the crew. That did not occur in this instance,” NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told Sports Business Journal’s Ben Fischer.
Brady’s other restrictions include:
Not permitted to be in another team’s facility
Not permitted to witness practice
Not permitted to attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually
Prohibited from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams
Subject to the league’s gambling policy
Subject to the league’s anti-tampering policies, limiting him to “strictly social communication with members of other clubs”

He is in the first year of his $10-year, $375 million deal with Fox to call NFL games.
Brady was also caught up in controversy for comments made last week.
He called Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen “a spaz” on live television.
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said, “Sometimes he played like a spaz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high, but now he’s controlled the chaos.
“He’s like a storm coming into town and you don’t want that storm coming into this town.”
