Sounds like a smart way to eliminate a lot of work in your job. 

Smart indeed and make a couple bucks on the side. 
 

Wonder if Fox knew about the ownership venture or did Tom hoodwink them?

Fuh k Tom Brady, he knowingly and purposefully cheated throughout his career, the guy can not be trusted with his position as an announcer / team owner, he is going to test the system to catch him cheating, it’s his modus operandus, the guy is a walking character flaw,

A bit off topic, but I watched Brady do the color commentating yesterday and he is terrible. He pauses regularly between thoughts. Kind of reminds me of a slow Netflix show where the streaming gets interrupted for a second then returns only to be interrupted again. Romo he is not.

Of course it’s a conflict of interest. 
It’s just like a judge who has been given $250,000+ in gifts deciding a case that the gifter was involved in. 
 

This isn’t a question. It’s crystal clear that it’s a conflict.

He obviously didn’t think this thru or thought he could do whatever he wanted.  I didn’t watch the game he did on Sunday but I read that it was weird.  He had to be upbeat about everything.  FOX may decide they’re not getting their money’s worth.

He’s not ready for prime time that’s for sure. The pauses are noticeable to a point of annoyance. He sounds stiff and adds little to the broadcast at this point. Like the analogy, on the mark and funny.

I don’t even know if I’d call it upbeat. Pandering comes to mind. FOX leaping at him at that price was absurd. I’m already turning the volume down.

He probably had to keep looking at a list of what he could and couldn’t say.  I heard there was a controversial ref call and he just said “I don’t know.” and passed it off to their former ref in the booth.

I wonder what type of guarantees in contract and is it like Deshaun Watson's contract impossible to get out of.

And do what? They owe him $375 million over the next 10 years.
