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.”
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.
