Brady was handed a set of guidelines by the NFL.

One of the major talking points from Week 1 of the National Football League (NFL) was the broadcasting debut of seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady but the hype was cut short as the legend didn't live up to the expectations.

 

The excitement was there amongst the fans as they wanted to see Brady analyze a game in the first week of the 2024 season and it was a pretty big game to start his broadcasting debut with the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Cleveland Browns.

 

Former New England Patriots teammate slams Tom Brady after his broadcasting debut

 

While playing, Brady was a household name with many fans but couldn't do justice to his new job in the broadcasting booth. His former New England Patriots teammate Antonio Brown slammed Brady and wrote on X, "Maybe someone should have listened to Tom Brady actually say words before dropping $300 million on him."

 

Brown got his teammate's salary all wrong as the seven-time champion signed a whopping $375 million deal for ten long years. But, Brown's thought process matched with the fans.

An Apology from Brown to Brady

 

Earlier this year, Brown sent an apology to Brady and wrote, "It’s been a minute. We’ll rekindle that when it’s time. But we can both agree we may have treated each other in not the best way. But as men we can attest to what was going well and hash it out. Too many jokes, we don’t want to joke about his wife. I made a joke about it but let’s be for real.”

Tom Brady was handed some important news ahead of his debut for FOX in the Dallas Cowboys vs Cleveland Browns game. Meanwhile, his part-owner deal for the Las Vegas Raiders is inching closer, he was handed a set of guidelines by the NFL.

 

According to AP, Brady's restrictions in the broadcasting booth will kick him "immediately."

 

"NFL says restrictions on Tom Brady start immediately because his potential transaction to purchase part of the Raiders is pending. He’s not permitted to attend broadcast production meetings (in-person or virtually) and may not have access to team facilities or players and coaching personnel. Fox staff is not subject to these limitations. He may broadcast Raiders games. He also has to abide by the league constitution and bylaws that prohibit public criticism of officials and other clubs," the report concluded.
