If Tom Brady becomes a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, his role would come with strict and unique limitations due to his dual responsibilities, particularly in relation to his work as a broadcaster for Fox Sports. According to a presentation made at an NFL meeting in Minneapolis, Brady would face several prohibitions that could significantly impact his ability to perform his broadcasting duties.
These restrictions would specifically prevent Tom Brady from entering other teams’ facilities, observing practices, and participating in broadcast production meetings, whether in person or virtually. This would place Brady in a challenging position since such meetings are a critical source of insight for broadcasters, allowing them to interact directly with coaches and key players ahead of game day. Without this access, Tom Brady’s ability to gather valuable information and deliver insightful commentary would be heavily curtailed.
These restrictions appear to be unique to Brady, as outlined in a presentation titled “Tom Brady — Broadcast Restrictions.” Other members of Fox’s broadcast teams would not be subject to the same rules. The NFL’s intention behind these limitations is to address potential conflicts of interest arising from Tom Brady’s dual roles, and owners have already raised questions regarding these concerns.
If Brady’s ownership stake with the Raiders is approved, he would also have to comply with standard league policies applicable to other team owners. These include restrictions on public criticism of officials and other teams, adherence to the league’s gambling policy, and compliance with anti-tampering regulations. For example, while Brady would be allowed to socialize with members of other clubs, any discussions would be limited to strictly social matters.
The NFL has some precedent for such measures. For instance, in 2017, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen faced access limitations when calling a game for Fox against the Minnesota Vikings, an upcoming opponent for the Panthers. Olsen, who has since joined Fox’s top broadcast team, experienced firsthand how access restrictions could influence broadcast performance, setting the stage for the challenges Brady might face.
Brady’s pursuit of ownership with the Raiders is not yet finalized, with ongoing concerns among NFL owners regarding the potential conflicts of interest and the valuation of his proposed stake. Brady had been in advanced discussions to buy into the Raiders, and although the deal has been stalled in the league’s finance committee, it must still gain approval from at least 24 of the 32 team owners to proceed.
Brady’s dual commitment—his ownership aspirations with the Raiders and a lucrative 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox—has brought about a complex situation, one that could redefine his post-playing career and impact the dynamics of NFL broadcasting. While his impact on the Raiders and his future in the broadcast booth remains uncertain, one thing is clear: this move could present unprecedented challenges in navigating the balance between ownership and broadcasting in the NFL.

Well after back-to-back sweeps I got my third sweep in-a-row last night. Unfortunately it was a reverse sweep losing each of the three best bets. I finally managed to win a Challenge Bet though.
$200 ➡️ $200K Challenge Bet: Luis Arraez Over 2.5 HRR
- We had to wait till the 2nd inning but Luis got this one done in easy fashion. He singled in the first and scored and then hit a ground rule double in the 2nd.
FK Qarabag vs Dinamo Zagreb Over 3
- The constant theme we will see with all of our soccer loses from yesterday was that they were all close to winning or pushing and we just didn’t get the goals we needed. Zagreb went up 1-0 in the 32′ and an own goal had them up 2-0 early into the 2nd half. Qarabag had 1.68 xG and could not find the back of the net.
Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Over 2.5
- Athletic scored in the 45′ and that was all they needed and just played defense the rest of the way for a very boring 2nd half that only saw 1 SOG the entire half.
Crvena Zvezda vs Bodo/Glimt Over 3
- Again extremly disappointed here in the effort that Bodo/Glimt put in. They came into this one up 2-1 on the aggregate and after allowing Crvena to score in the 26′ and 59′ you would think trailing 3-2 on the aggregate they would put in a better effort. In the match they had a .03 xG and only 1 SOG.
Parlay of the Day: 2+ RBi Milestone
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr: 1-3, 0 RBI’s
- J.D. Martinez: 1-4, 1 RBI

Day #38 Profit/Loss: – $57.36
What I Learned:
MLB Season Is Too Long: This is nothing really revolving around the sports betting aspect of the MLB. However, I came to the thought that I am tired of baseball. The nostalgia of 162 games is exciting in the start of April, however, come towards the end of August I find myself saying “Ok, lets finish this already”. Luckily College Football and NFL will get us through the month of September just in time for the MLB Postseason to begin.
