NFL Legend Tom Brady Reacts to News Away From Football

Tom Brady has entered his second season with Fox Sports after signing a 10-year, $375 million deal to join the lead team, joining Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews. In his first year with the network, he called the Super Bowl LIX matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. Now, he prepares for his assignment in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season when the Baltimore Ravens host the Los Angeles Rams.

But Brady has done much more than call games since his seven Super Bowl career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After retiring, he began investing in sports franchises, purchasing a 5% minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. And in 2023, he also acquired a minority stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces.

On Friday, the Aces defeated the Phoenix Mercury 97-86 in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals, securing the sweep to win the franchise's third championship in four years, and the second since Brady bought the team. Aces star A'ja Wilson, the 2025 WNBA MVP, tallied 31 points, nine rebounds and four assists, securing the 2025 WNBA Finals MVP as well. For the series, Wilson averaged 28.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists.

Brady expressed his excitement for the Aces' championship run, sharing a photo of the team on his Instagram Story with the caption:

“What a TEAM!!!!!!!!" Brady wrote. "2025 WNBA CHAMPIONS LAS VEGAS ACES”

Brady also added a separate story to celebrate Wilson's Finals MVP win: "AURA," he wrote with a photo of Wilson.

Wilson and the Aces had an incredible run to the finals. After starting the season 14-14, they won 16 straight to secure the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. They proceeded to take down the No. 7 seed Seattle Storm and the No. 6 seed Indiana Fever, without Caitlin Clark, on their way to the title.

Brady, on the other hand, prepares for his sixth NFL game of the season, calling the Ravens vs. Rams on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
