Tom Brady called the Super Bowl rematch in Week 7, but he also received some big news beforehand. Now his broadcasting career takes a new turn with the recent approval of his ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
A New Chapter for Tom Brady
Tom Brady’s transition from football field to broadcast booth continues to unfold. After a successful debut as a broadcaster, he’s set to call his eighth NFL game this Sunday. However, his recent acquisition of a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders adds a new layer to his career.
Now that Brady owns 5 percent of the Raiders, he’s officially a minority owner of an NFL franchise. That comes with restrictions as a broadcaster such as Brady will not be permitted in another team’s facility, he cannot witness team practices or attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually. Also, he cannot publicly criticize game officials and other teams,… Brady’s abilities as a broadcaster have been heavily scrutinized. Although his debut drew mixed reactions, he continues to improve with every opportunity in the booth.
On the Airwaves
This Sunday, Brady and his broadcast partner, Kevin Burkhardt, will be on the call for the high-stakes matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks. With Tom Rinaldi and Erin Andrews reporting from the sidelines, and Dean Blandino providing expert analysis on rules and officiating, the broadcast team is poised to deliver an insightful and entertaining experience for viewers.
A Patriots Reunion on the Horizon
While there’s no official word on when Brady might call a Patriots game, the opportunity will arise in Week 9. The New England Patriots will face the Tennessee Titans, a matchup that could generate significant interest, especially for Brady, who spent the majority of his career with the Patriots.
