I just read Tom Brady is a minority owner of the Raiders: how can he call games for Fox in this situation

He could say things on air that affect trades to and from the Raiders, who are players flying under the radar on squads; he could even voice during a telecast who would be leading draft picks at certain positions of need, ostensibly ones the raiders might need or want.

I mean even Kirk Herbstreit cant make pregame picks as an analyst of games he is calling from the booth.

Because he is Tom Brady 🙄

LeBron James is an active NBA player and he does commercials for Draft Kings. He’s literally employed by a sports book, and the NBA allows it.

And it sounds like Brady will have a bigger impact in off-season moves by the Raiders.

Brady sucks, given Olsen is job back

Brady sucks as a commentator. You never refer to yourself in the third person. Brady did that today.

"Those rules include not visiting other teams' facilities or watching their practices, not attending production meetings and not criticizing officials or other teams.

Brady is also now subject to the NFL's gambling and anti-tampering policies."

"Should Brady be tasked with calling a Raiders game, however, he will have to stay out of the facilities of the team he partially owns for the week leading up to that contest."


In short, there are special rules for Brady that he has to adhere to for him to call games...
