Charles Robinson is joined by Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Beaton to react to this morning’s mind blowing report that TB12 will be heading to the booth for some serious change that is sure to change the landscape of the television talent… Source link

Tom Brady is still playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he’s already got a job lined up when he decides to hang up his helmet. During an earnings call on Tuesday, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced that Brady will be joining Fox Sports when he retires, taking the role of lead NFL analyst. He’ll be calling games with Kevin Burkhardt, who is replacing Joe Buck this season after Buck and his broadcast partner Troy Aikman left for ESPN earlier this year. With Burkhardt in the Buck seat, Brady… Source link

Tom Brady is arguably the biggest draw in the NFL. So when he retired then unretired this offseason, he wreaked havoc for the league — and its schedule-makers. A Tampa Bay Buccaneers team with, say, Blaine Gabbert at quarterback isn’t much of a TV draw. But a Bucs team again featuring Brady under center — now we’re talking primetime. The folks who spend an inordinate amount of time, effort and processing power making a football schedule spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the process… Source link

Tom Brady is no longer retired, but he’s still having his fun in the offseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback admitted the obvious in a cheeky social media post Thursday morning. Following a “tell me something honest” prompt from Justin Bieber, Brady said what Las Vegas Raiders fans have been screaming for the last 20 years: “The Tuck Rule Game against the Raiders … it might have been a fumble.” That admission will be no comfort for Raiders fans who have spent decades stewing over a… Source link

The biggest loser of Tom Brady‘s unretirement (outside of the NFC South) is no longer the person who won the ball from his “last” touchdown pass at auction hours before news broke the quarterback was returning. A settlement has been reached to void last month’s $518,000 sale of Brady’s ball at auction, according to The Action Network’s Darren Rovell. The ball was available after Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans threw it into the stands in what appeared to be Brady’s final game, a… Source link

That’s the alleged storyline now in play, finally offering a believable decryption of the why behind Brady’s puzzling six-week retirement this offseason. Back on our March 31 episode of “You Pod To Win The Game,” we offered the timeline of events and what likely spurred Brady to suddenly reverse field from his retirement. Within that timeline, we… Source link

WNBA draft night is a big night for all the players, fans, and draftees, but no one had quite the experience that Northwestern’s Veronica Burton had. Burton, a Newton, Massachusetts, native, was picked seventh overall by the Dallas Wings during Monday night’s WNBA draft, and shortly after she got a call from someone she absolutely did not expect: Tom Brady. “Hey, Veronica, what’s up? I just wanted to congratulate you on being drafted,” Brady said on the call. “The four-time Big Ten… Source link

Peyton Manning welcomed Tom Brady into the retired quarterbacks club with a handwritten note and a bottle of wine. Now that Brady has broken out of that club, he wants his stuff back. Brady, 44, announced two weeks ago he was returning to the NFL and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback’s retirement lasted all of 40 days. That was enough time for Manning, and likely others, to bestow gifts upon Brady. Friends, fans and NFL personnel lavished kind words upon the star usually reserved for… Source link

After taking out Sergey Spivak in the first round in September — which earned him his third $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus — a humbled Tom Aspinall called out Blagoy Ivanov, who was ranked 12 at the time. The UFC didn’t pay attention to that call-out. Instead, it put Aspinall in with No. 6 Alexander Volkov on Saturday (4 p.m. ET, ESPN+) at The O2 Arena in London, giving him a considerably tougher test. And Aspinall, who won over so many fans after beating Spivak by showing his… Source link
