Brady to face TV restrictions if approved as Raiders part-owner

Because these are the same small-minded nepo-babies that forced deflate gate into being a thing. They are literally the worst humans in the world: billionaires who don't use their wealth for the profit of humanity.
So, he'll be generally aware that these rules may be broken and end up in commentator prison? Fun!
I love watching football and will as long as it's on, but these idiots and their rules. It really does boggle the mind sometimes. If the other teams know he's an owner they might just, you know, use their common sense in talking to him during preproduction meetings. That is if Brady doesn't wear a ninja suit and ransack their playbook library while he's in the building.
As the Philly-TB game was winding down, Brady revealed that Chicago was in the mix to sign him when he left NE in 2020, which I’m not sure had been reported before. The Bears actually started 5-1 that year before stumbling to an 8-8 finish and a first round playoff exit. Chicago didn’t have the kind of offensive weapons that Tampa had, but could have picked up Gronk and some other options in FA.
This is an odd note from Dianna Russini in her NFL notes column this week:
That said, her note made me wonder about 2 things. First, I wonder how tight Tom and Mayo are. I could see him being brought into the Raiders org if he gets let go by the Pats. Second, I wonder what kind of relationship Brady and Wolf have. Could a Raiders-Pats trade for Shadeur Sanders get made more easily if Brady is involved?
Anyway, I have nothing but speculation to offer, but I thought this was potentially interesting.
Russini's a pretty sharp writer, but I'm not exactly sure what the point of this note was beyond "Brady might do a lot of stuff within the Raiders org."

Not sure how this happens--they either have the best offer or not. Can't really imagine Brady and Wolf have much of a relationship--he was gone when Wolf came on board.
I would guess the only influence Brady would have on a Shedeur trade is that he and Shedeur have a close personal (and business through NIL) relationship and Tom could push the GM and Davis to make sure they offer more to get him rather than see him go elsewhere.
Overall though, I doubt Brady has any impact on the Patriots, most of the guys from his time are gone.

This is all that matters.
The main reason Sanders to the Raiders has so much noise is the Brady connection with Sanders. Has nothing to do with Brady's connection to the Pats, Wolf, etc. He's a huge supporter of Sanders and will probably do everything he can to get him to LV (which is great for the pats)
Ok. This line from Brady made me do a double take

Also a lot of fans are saying Brady was calling out in real time that the Lions had 12 men on the field on the penalty that helped seal the game. Others are saying Brady was calling for the Commanders to call timeout to avoid a delay of game.
Either way, he finally has a viral “Romo moment” where fans are going to give him credit for recognizing something in real time, I think.
I didn’t listen to him tonight, how was he?

Brady is genuine. Plus he’s not a windbag. Makes him better than almost all the others. He’s humble.
Plus goes without saying that he knows the game better than any other commentator. He’s getting so much better at putting it into words. Plus he’s getting more critical. His analogy of St Brown to Hines Ward was tight.

He's definitely starting to loosen up. I liked how excited he was on the lateral-shovel:

This was genuinely awesome. My guess is that this comment was followed by conversations and the result will be that Tom will never make a comment like this again on live television.
But we can hope...
I like that unlike other insanely competitive GOATs, Brady has no problem being super enthusiastic about skilled young QBs. I can’t imagine Jordan or Montana being so laudatory.
Aikman belongs at the top of the color commentator food chain. Great performance in the KC game calling out the BS.
Brady is improving and is much less cringe. Miles better than Romo at this point.

Yeah Montana is a cranky bastard (that article a couple of years ago about him being upset about Brady being considered the GOAT over him was more sad than anything else) and Jordan is and always will be a gigantic asshole, though I don't know what he thinks about so many considering Lebron the GOAT over him now (that plus every active player saying Kobe is their favorite, although that's more a function of time passing than anything else).
A huge part of what has made Romo a successful announcer is that he gets excited watching good football. Seems like it should be obvious, but people want to watch games with people who seem like they're having fun, and Brady absolutely does. It will be a major bummer if whatever happens with his Raiders' ownership keeps him from calling games at some point.
