Tom Brady breaks silence over CONFLICT OF INTEREST concern with strong statement
sporting news ^

Posted on 02/21/2026 8:17:11 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

Brady was spotted in the coaches booth during the broadcast between the game between the Raiders and Chargers, and upon seeing that shot, ESPN's announcers revealed that Brady stays in regular contact with Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.

That immediately led to conflict of interest concerns, with many noting that Brady could impart what he learns while preparing for games he's covering as a FOX announcer to his own team.

“Tom Brady breaks silence over CONFLICT OF INTEREST concern with strong statement”. Were the balls over inflated Tom?

Clearly, the competitive advantage gained by Tom Brady's conflict of interest was instrumental in the Raiders' victory in Super Bowl LIX played earlier this month.  Oh, wait ...

The Raiders had the worst record in the NFL this past season - although they probably could've beaten the Jets - so if TB12 is helping them cheat, he's not doing a very good job of it.

Brady does suck as an announcer. Troy Aikman is excellent imo

Professional sports is not rigged.
It is run by Las Vegas concerns.

The Raiders were 3-14 last season so Tom Brady’s info was of great value...

What, you thought the NFL was not a rigged game, that somehow someone might actually impart some kind of conflict of interest???

The NFL is a soap opera for guys. Recently, the NFL has targeted women, hence all the “Be Nice” crap on helmets and endzones.

Disgraced ex-referee Tim Donaghy alleged as much Tuesday in a filing made by his attorney in U.S. District Court in New York, saying the highly controversial Game 6 of the Lakers-Kings playoff series in 2002 was impacted by the actions of two of the three referees who worked the game.

If Brady was helping the Raiders at all last season he was a miserable failure at it.😂

Unless they think that Fernando Mendoza is a future HoF quarterback.

“Excellent response...”

Thanks, but I’m not that smart. A little Trump common sense.

I still crack up at Dak Prescott having “Choose Love” on his helment, when Jordan Love and Packers destroyed the Cowboys in the playoffs.

“The game announcers are not allowed access to teams’ playbooks, they can not visit practices, they have no special access to facilities, etc....””

And that’s the head of the problem people are being conned into. Brady the announcer may not have off time interaction with the team as some have guessed, but supposedly as an owner he would. However, reference my post #15. It’s more realistic and less BS.
