Tom Brady broke one of the main rules that he’s supposed to follow as an NFL commentator AND minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Before Tom Brady was approved as a part-owner of the Raiders (owned by Mark Davis), he was given a strict list of rules he must follow as an NFL analyst. One rule outlines that he isn’t allowed to criticize the officiating.
Well, Brady clearly broke that rule while calling the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants Thanksgiving Game on Thursday. After Kayvon Thibodeaux got called for “roughing the passer” on Cooper Rush, Brady questioned the call by calling it “a love tap.”
Careful there, Tom. You might have a calling into Commissioner Goodell’s office…
Thursday marks Brady’s first Thanksgiving game as an NFL commentator. He and Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Louisiana on Feb. 10.

FOX Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback Tom Brady went off on Daniel Jones during the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game.
Last week, the Giants released Daniel Jones from his contract at the veteran quarterback’s request. Jones was demoted on the depth chart in favor of Tommy DeVito (previously the third-stringer) and Drew Lock, and he wound up signing with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday. And let’s just say that Tom Brady had some thoughts on Jones’ exit from the Giants.
During the Thanksgiving game, Brady criticized Jones’ decision to seek his release:
“To think that you would ask for your release from a team that committed a lot to you is maybe different than I would handled that. I always felt I wanted to get the trust and respect of my teammates.”
Tom Brady added that, going back to his college days, he did whatever he could to accommodate his team, even though there were some situations he didn’t like.

Not Every QB Can Be Like Tom Brady
It’s impossible to compare Daniel Jones’ career to that of Tom Brady’s. There’s only one seven-time Super Bowl champion and five-time SB MVP, after all.
Brady made some good points here, but it’s obvious that the Giants weren’t going to retain Jones beyond this season. At the end of the day, it made sense for both sides to divorce ASAP.
