"Tom Brady played for 23 NFL seasons with a single, maniacal goal: to become the greatest quarterback who ever lived. He achieved it. Now, in retirement, Brady has dabbled in everything. He calls games for Fox. He's building chimneys in Birmingham. He's flogged crypto. He's spreading America's Game to Riyadh. He has a thriving YouTube account. He cloned his dog."
"Brady's post-playing portfolio has been diverse, or aimless, depending on your perspective. Side hustles are one thing. But running a pro franchise is not a part-time job. Along with his other roles, Brady is also the de facto football czar of the Raiders, the most hapless team in the league. The Raiders dropped to 29 on Sunday after being waxed 24-10 by the Browns."
"The Raiders didn't just lose; they were embarrassed by a bad team with a quarterback making his first NFL start. The Raiders' offense averaged 2.9 yards a play before garbage time in the fourth quarter. Geno Smith was sacked 10 times and was pressured 46 times, a single-game high for any team this season. On defense, Las Vegas gifted up chunk plays to a Cleveland offense that has been dysfunctional for most of the season."
Tom Brady spent 23 NFL seasons chasing the goal of becoming the greatest quarterback ever. In retirement he has pursued many ventures, including broadcasting for Fox, construction work, crypto promotion, international exhibitions, a YouTube channel, and cloning his dog. He became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 and has served as the de facto football czar, directing major offseason decisions. The Raiders fell to 29 after a 24-10 loss to the Browns, with an offense averaging 2.9 yards per play before garbage time, Geno Smith sacked 10 times and pressured 46 times. The defense surrendered chunk plays to a struggling Cleveland offense, leaving the franchise directionless. The team hired 74-year-old Pete Carroll but did not intend a multiyear rebuild; Carroll was expected to return the club to relevance and then hand them off.
