Disney (FOX Sports owner) will have him appearing at Disney and on their sports network (ESPN)

Disney didn't get Fox Sports or Fox News in the takeover because they already owned Sports and News companies so had to leave them out in order for the purchase of 20th century etc to be approved.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was strategy to

His first retirement cancelation proves that spending time with the family is just window dressing. My cynical side thinks this is just a way to ensure he makes at least $20M playing football until he retires again. Does the TV contract have any impact on taking an ownership stake in the Dolphins?

After watching him do multiple interviews for F1, across a week taking about how special Miami and that venue are, I have no doubt he wants in on that ownership bid.

I'm shocked Tommy signed with Fox when he could have had a glorious post NFL career with Disney...I mean, after 20 years of sexual innuendos and claims of "metro!!!" and "non binary" I would have guessed the They/Them/Its' Brady clan would be perfect for the Dizzyland/Chinese global empire...but Fox??? MAGALAND??? If he's featured pregame in a $10,000 dollar leather recliner eating cake with co-host Donald J Trump and making fun of Brian Stelter while Giselle hangs portraits of Marie Antoinette and Augusto Pinochet on the wall, I'll cut off my nuts and join the 26 Gender Freakazoid Mutant Army under the guise of Colonel Jusse Sharpton-Maddow.

Mr.Kerr, there's some of your posts that make me believe you have a private stash of some of the good LSD left over from the late 60's-early 70's. Purple Haze? White Lightning? You got shades of the gonzo writing of Ken Kesey et al.
While I wasn't a huge acid head back in the day, I WAS a teenager in the 60's, so its possible I might have *cough cough* theoretically partaken on the rare occasion. Or two. Or three. Theoretically speaking.

Relax Mrs. Jones

I'm as much of a BB fan as a TB one- but this made me laugh out loud.

answer your question?

 

[jimnance]

Yes sir. Funny those are mostly the same names I recall from back in the day.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Brady has a great football mind so it doesn't surprise me that he would be breaking down film and doing NFL commentary. He has a lot of insight to share on what goes on in the huddle, and breaking down plays. Well this seems like a natural outcome. But he's got at least 1 more year to go in Tampa before this happens.

 

[VJCPatriot]

My guess is he’ll do it for a while but his ultimate goal is to be part owner of a team.

I wouldn't be surprised if he became a team owner in the future. But a job in the broadcast booth isn't bad to keep his face in the public eye even if he transitions to owner later.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

Completely ridiculous sum of money for someone to sit in a broadcast booth and speak into a microphone. He is a great qb but I doubt he will be as good as Tony Romo.

this is a serious post, eh? Tony freakin' Romo??????????????????????...LMAO...the Daffy Duck of NFL announcers...good one

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Really? We've "learned" his deal is 10 years, 375m? Is it fully guaranteed?

Don't really care where he works at this point. But let's see, so far he's retired, tried to own part of the Dolphins, unretired, and signed a future contract w Fox for $375M, 10 years... As reported by A Guy With a Twitter Account in the Off Season. I wonder if anybody clicked/tapped that post.

Sure, okay. Might be true. Look, no hard feelings, and it's not unreasonable to believe this would happen lol... but I just don't know about any sensational new Brady story til I see it.

And that said, I want him in his first game to say "How do I know what the playcall there was? Bill called the plays, I just tried to do my best to do my job" or something, and then crack up on camera.

Then even better, "But seriously , when you see a guy say he knows what the play was, you don't know whether it's a variation on that play or if it's a busted play or what. I mean sometimes it's really clear that whatever the lineman was going for, he missed, and there are unlikely routes being run... But mostly guys who played some high school ball try to convince everyone on the bulletin board that they know the guard was supposed to pull or the guy who ran the sluggo was really supposed to be the first option on a plain old slant route, and we try to give those guys a win.... I mean, they know this how? Look dude I am freakishly football smart but I'm me, not that QB, and the radio's in his helmet not my head. Nobody's got one in their head except maybe Romo." I mean that might be totally ridiculous given his ability to see the field, but it would be hilarious for him to say.

But there has to be a clause about that in the imaginary contract

 

[TBR]

Chris Long made a good point. Imagine the production meetings between Bill and Tom when Brady does a Pats game.

Imagine Fox throwing $300M at Belichick to hop in the booth with Brady and another play by play guy.

 

[Triumph]

Fox NFL broadcasts suck.

The tired old robots and Joe Buck.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Tom is a lot of things but I'm not sure he's got a good voice for TV. But he'll be great at every other aspect of it.

 

[Patsgofor4]

To be the principal owner the NFL requires minimum 30% ownership. The allows up to $1B to be debt financing. So if a team costs in the neighbourhood of $3B, to be principal Brady needs to come up with $900m, some of which can be debt.

MSN

He’s going to need more than that.

 

[Kasmir]

Putting these two together, I'd suggest it means TB12 is not generating the kind of cash needed to ever hope to be principal owner of a NFL team.

Even his $375M contract, the following suggests his net worth is in the $700m range, not enough to get that done. I doubt Gisele's money would be enough to make that happen. Teams are $3B+ assets these days. He'd have to find rich partners that were willing to let him run the show. That's a tricky balancing act.

There are a number of NFL teams with syndicated ownership, i.e. multiple owners. Brady might be able to do that today with or without being principal owner.

i betcha part of the deal is that if he doesn't get bucs to the superbowl this year, he joins in the booth for it

 

[Biffins]

Now

10/$375m...jeeeez

More money than he made playing

 

[Froob]

It's a 5 year deal so if he retires this season, 2023-2028 that means

This season its Fox
2023-CBS
2024-NBC
2025-Fox

That's 4 seasons for the Patriots to get to Superbowl contention..it's totally possible

I believe ABC also gets the SB now
