Hurricane Milton, which was classified as a “dangerous Category 3” storm, made landfall on Florida’s west coast, and Tom Brady is coming through in a big way.
Tom Brady, who considered the Tampa area his home after he signed there and won a Super Bowl, decided to help by giving money.
He released a statement saying, “In the wake of Hurricane Milton, I’ll be making a donation of $100k to help get essentials like food, water, and first aid to fellow Floridians in need.
My friends at @gopuff are matching this, along with all other donations made via ‘Give With Gopuff,’ all benefitigin the Volunteer Florida Foundation.
Keep those impacted by these storms in your prayers, look out for you neighbors, and continue to help out anyway you’re able. Stay safe, and stay strong Florida 💪,” Brady posted on social media.
Reactions to the great gesture were surprisingly mixed. Many praised Brady for donating, while others thought he could do so much more.

The iconic quarterback signed a 10-year deal worth $375 million to be on broadcast for Fox Sports, and that is just a small part of what he made on the field in the NFL and with endorsements.
Even still, Tom Brady did not have to give anything, so his donation of six figures is an incredible gesture.
Tom Brady Is Fitting In Nicely With His Broadcasting Duties
Tom Brady made his broadcasting debut in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, calling the Dallas Cowboys’ first three games against the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, and Baltimore Ravens.
He would then go on to be on call for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ rout of the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4 and was in the booth for the San Francisco 49ers’ 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
So, how has it been going?
Every week, Brady appears to be getting more comfortable on the microphone.
Julian Edelman spent 10 of his 11 seasons in the NFL catching passes from Tom Brady, and he had nothing but glowing words to say about his new job.
“I think it’s been going great,” Edelman said to Sports Illustrated’s Claudette Montana in a recent interview on behalf of Tostitos. “He’s never done it. He’s done the ‘Patriot thing’ where he continues to improve each week. You can tell he’s getting a lot more comfortable.
“Just like a rookie quarterback going into the league learning operations and how things go, timing, chemistry—that’s what Brady is doing. I think he’s been doing great. His insight is awesome.”
As for this Sunday, Brady will be back in the booth in Week 6 for the Cowboys’ game against the Detroit Lions at AT&T Stadium.
VIDEO: Social Media Detective Unloads Wild Theory Involving Tom Brady That Reveals This Year’s Super Bowl Champion While Also Predicting The End Of Another Sports Team’s Brutal Curse

A popular social media personality and internet detective believes he has uncovered evidence that a cursed sports franchise is about to end their stroke of bad luck…and it’ll be thanks entirely to Tom Brady.
During his interview with Stephen A. Smith at the Fanatics Fest in New York City last month, Tom Brady called Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ top threats to a three-peat.
Instagram user The Hockey Illuminati shared a video suggesting that Brady’s claim on the Packers might be good luck for the Toronto Maple Leafs, owners of the longest Stanley Cup drought. The Leafs last won it all in 1967 and haven’t reached the finals ever since.
So if Tom Brady’s suggestion about the Chiefs and Packers facing off in Super Bowl 59 becomes a reality? As The Hockey Illuminati points out, the only Packers-Chiefs Super Bowl showdown happened the same year that Toronto last won the Stanley Cup:
The Packers defeated the Chiefs in the first Super Bowl on Jan. 15, 1967. This game happened before the merger, with Green Bay and Kansas City representing the NFL and AFL in the big game, respectively. The Packers won 35-10.

Toronto has only won a single playoff series since the post-lockout era (2005-06). Despite a star-studded core led by Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly, the Leafs haven’t come close to reaching hockey’s ultimate goal.
Will Tom Brady serve as a good luck charm to a long-suffering Maple Leafs franchise and their fans? If one legendary athlete can offer serendipity for a cursed team, it’s the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Tom Brady Saved Two NFL Franchises
The New England Patriots were among the NFL’s saddest franchises before Tom Brady arrived in 2000. Over a 17-year span, he led the team to nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowls.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were mostly irrelevant from 2003 to 2019, but that all changed when Brady arrived in 2020. He led them to three straight postseason appearances and a Super Bowl 55 title in his first season there, restoring the championship DNA in the Bucs before Baker Mayfield took over the reins.
