TheFunPolice Posted October 16 Posted October 16 honestly the whole broadcasting gig seemed like a strange fit, and I predict it's a 1 year experiment and both sides will tear it up and walk away after the Super Bowl 1 Quote

On his honor….. you trust that? You must believe the ball boy was nicknamed “the deflator” because he was trying to loose weight! Quote

klos63 Posted October 16 Posted October 16 7 hours ago, Donuts and Doritos said: Tom Brady is now a 10% owner of the Raiders. Per Davis they expect he can help them select a QB and train them. Would this be a conflict of interest with him calling games for Fox? (Article below seems to think so). Putting it out there for your consideration. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/bell/2024/10/16/tom-brady-las-vegas-raiders-owner/75697265007/ What's the conflicted interest? Doubt that commentating is an issue. 2 Quote

In no way does the NFL have a monopoly on pro football. Quote
US Egg Posted October 16 Posted October 16 So Brady is going to sinisterly avoid topics in his duty as commentator to protect the NFL or himself. Sounds like something a double agent would do. Quote

Donuts and Doritos Posted October 16 Author Posted October 16 2 hours ago, klos63 said: What's the conflicted interest? Doubt that commentating is an issue. Commentators get access to practices, team facilities, get to talk to players and coaches about strategy etc... This allows commentators incite so they can speak more knowledgeably. owners & people making personnel decisions like the Raiders say Brady will be doing aren't allowed to. The article raised it so I was asking peoples thoughts on that. Today Joe Marino & others said there were stipulations the NFL had on allowing Brady to be an owner. He is not allowed as a commentator to attend fox production meetings to prevent him talking to players and coaches, he isn't allowed at team facilities prior to the game, to prevent him being there for practices etc. He also I believe they said cant cover any Raiders games. He's apparently the only commentator now with these restrictions. NFL did it to try to get rid of conflicts of interest. 1 Quote

Deflated football was found.. that Super Bowl, every football was guarded and up to code. What happened? Brady won. Do we kill the Steelers for using steroids in the 70s? Do we rip the 49ers for using illegal substances like “stick um” on their gloves? Montana was quoted as saying once “If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying.” You know who discusses “cheating” and “rigged games”? Losers. Winners do not waste time on stats and semantics. Unfortunately the Bills have been losers for a long time. Let the coping continue I guess. 1 Quote
Saint Doug Posted October 17 Posted October 17 He’s a football game announcer, not an investigative reporter (unless he puts on some disguises, which may be true). 1 1 Quote

Who polices that exactly tho? The Fox network? The playing teams themselves? The League? Just curious who the crack security team is guarding against Brady’s known rule-bending…probably this guy? 🧐 Quote

They don’t just show up Sunday and spitball. 2 Quote
