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.

Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
