Tom Brady appeared on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” this week to talk about being the G.O.A.T., Bill Belichick, and the Shedeur Sanders draft slide. While on the show, he was also asked about his broadcasting career.
Tom Brady’s Venture Into Broadcasting and Ownership
Brady has stayed busy since retiring from pro football. He had a 10-year contract with FOX waiting for him when he hung up his cleats, joining the network as the lead color analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
Not many people walk out of one job and into a $375 million deal, but that wasn’t all Brady took on after his playing days ended.
On “Impaulsive,” co-host Mike Majlak asked Brady about his journey into broadcasting and whether he’d ever take a looser approach like Shaquille O’Neal or Charles Barkley.
In response, Brady said:
“They have a great time. They have a great chemistry. I think our job is a little more professional when you’re during games. They’re not doing in-the-moment games, they’re just doing the studio stuff, which is great, it’s really fun.”

Brady’s move into the booth wasn’t exactly smooth. He’s admitted it’s been an adjustment getting used to a new kind of work around the game.
He’s also now a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, playing a key role in many of the football decisions inside the building as he tries to help the team contend for a playoff spot and beyond.
That ownership role created some tricky overlap with his job as a broadcaster since he has a financial stake in one of the league’s teams.

As part of his contract, Brady isn’t allowed to criticize officials during games or make critical comments about coaches, players, or teams. He also can’t attend pregame meetings or visit other teams’ facilities in his role as a broadcaster.
Without access to pregame production meetings, it’s tougher for Brady to prep for each game. Broadcasters like Joe Buck and Cris Collinsworth often reference those meetings during a game, but Brady won’t have that same advantage on air.

While the broadcast role might have limits, Brady’s presence with the Raiders is where he’s making the biggest mark.
As the most decorated player in NFL history, Brady knows how to build a winning culture. He’s bringing that mindset to the organization, and things are already trending in the right direction.
Brady was involved in hiring general manager John Spytek, a former college teammate at Michigan. Spytek later worked in Tampa Bay’s front office, where he helped bring Brady to the Bucs—and where Brady won his seventh Super Bowl.
In Las Vegas, Brady and Spytek hired Pete Carroll as the team’s head coach—another Super Bowl winner. The franchise seems to be on the rise, and Brady’s just getting started.
