Tom Brady had a humiliating gaffe on live television during the Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday.
The 47-year-old Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt were on the call for the Packers-Vikings game at U.S. Bank Stadium today. Both NFC North clubs have clinched playoff berths, though the Vikings remain in contention for the division crown and conference’s top seed.
Before kickoff, Brady was mentioning the opponents that defeated the Packers heading into Week 17. He correctly referenced two of the losses coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions, and their Week 1 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Tom Brady drew a complete blank when trying to recall the other team that beat the Packers, totally forgetting that it was those very Vikings at Lambeau Field back in Week 4.

Tom Brady Is Wrapping Up First Year With FOX
Tom Brady is in the first season of a 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX Sports in 2022. The seven-time Super Bowl champion and Burkhardt call one more regular season game next week before the playoffs, and they’ll be in the booth for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
REPORT: Jeff Bezos Emerges As The New Favorite To Purchase One Of The NFL’s Most Valuable Franchises

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has emerged as the new front-runner to purchase one of the NFL’s most valuable franchises.
You may recall that Jeff Bezos had interest in purchasing the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.
There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen’s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.
Speculation is growing about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.
According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.
