Before his first game as a TV color commentator for CBS in 1979, John Madden was told that broadcast crews typically did not watch team practices. However, he insisted on speaking to coaches directly, a practice that has since become standard across NFL broadcasts.
Tom Brady, now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, faces restrictions that prevent him from engaging fully in the pre-game reporting process, a significant change from the standard established by Madden.
With a $375 million broadcasting contract with Fox, Tom Brady's transition into a broadcasting role comes with challenges due to his financial interest in the Raiders, limiting his ability to prepare for games in a thorough manner.
Brady's dual role as a broadcaster and team owner raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, which means he cannot obtain insider knowledge that could enhance his performance as an analyst.
