Back in August 2023, Tom Brady set foot in the realm of a different type of football. Brady partnered with new Birmingham City FC owners Knighthead Capital Management LLC and became a minority owner of the club and chairman of its advisory board. “Maybe you’re asking what do you know about English football, Tom? Well, let’s just say I’ve got a lot to learn. But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they may translate pretty well,” Brady’s confidence was unmissable. If anything has propelled this, that is Brady’s hunger for success and resilience to explore uncharted territory. Remember what he said after he already had 6 Super Bowl rings to his name?

“At this point in my career, the only person I have to prove anything to is myself….I want to see what more I can do. I want to see how great I can be. I want to hear other people say, ‘Go, man. Now that’s what we’ve been missing. That’s what we need! That’s what we’ve been looking for! Deep down I know what I can do. I know what I can bring. Now I want to see it in action,” Brady had said in 2020. Thus came the move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Once again, a set of ‘new’s to face.

But as Brady put it, “Changes and challenges are part of life. They’re part of athletes’ lives. They’re supposed to happen. They need to happen sometimes.” The rest is history. That change translated into the record Super Bowl Number 7. But again, who knew that the skinny and sluggish QB who had one of the worst sprint times in the 2000 NFL draft would go on to become one of the all-time greats of the sport? To be honest, not even Brady himself. Sitting in San Mento, California, the then-22-year-old thought the phone would never ring.

It did, rather insignificantly, because, by the time Brady was drafted as the 199th pick in the 6th round, even the most loyal fans of the sport must have switched off the television! But one becomes a GOAT tag for a reason. We all know what Brady did inside the gridiron with the 199 tag. But even beyond that, he never left that number, incorporating it into his business ventures. His latest move featuring the number once again reminded of his legendary career that turned a debacle into a miracle.

On Friday morning, Brady took to his Instagram to announce his weekly newsletter, named 199. “What’s up Guys!! Today, I am launching a newsletter and it’s called 199.” Here, Brady will discuss various subjects, such as sports, wellness, health, competitiveness, and business. However, if anyone wants to read those newsletters of Brady offering his insight about different things. Then, you will have to subscribe for one by going to TomBrady.com.

Anyone who closely follows Brady’s endeavors would know that back in 2020, Brady launched 199 Productions—a platform built to deliver original premium content on a global scale. And similar to today’s post. He also confirmed that launch via his Instagram, “I am excited to announce to the world the official launch of 199 Productions. When I was the 199th draft pick in 2000. I knew I needed to work hard every day to prove myself. Launching a production company is no different.” With that zeal to take up new challenges, look what he has not touched upon apart from playing football.

One of Brady’s most notable ventures in recent years is signing a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports Network. He made his Fox Sports debut with an appearance on its college football show, “Big Noon Kickoff,” by hyping up his alma mater, the University of Michigan. The full-circle moment is nearing when the legend will lend his voice to calling the Super Bowl game between the Chiefs and the Eagles. In May 2023, Brady agreed to buy a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders NFL franchise. Brady told The Associated Press that his decision to join the Raiders was borne out of a deep respect for the team and late owner Al Davis. But Brady’s sports ventures are not limited to football.

Brady agreed to become a minority owner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces in March 2023. He bought a stake in the team from Aces owner Mark Davis in a sale that was praised by both Davis and WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. The Patriots legend said he joined the WNBA out of deep respect and appreciation for women’s sports, a passion that has its roots within the Brady household. “My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I would tag along to all my older sisters’ games,” Brady said. “They were by far the best athletes in our house!” If that is not enough, in July 2023 he added one more sports team to his kitty.

Brady became a team owner in the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) E1 world championship, a brand-new electric raceboat competition. He will own Team Brady, the fifth team announced in this league. Talking beyond sport, he has grown his TB12 brand, pioneering his way into the health and business realm since hanging up the pads and cleats. Not only this, but he has also found an innovative way to put his money into cars.

In March 2023, Hertz Team Jota of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) announced that Brady and his men’s apparel company, Brady Brand, will be official partners of their brand new Porsche 963, which will be driven by drivers Antonio Felix de Costa, Will Stevens and Yifie Yang in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). “I have been a big fan of motor racing for a long time,” Brady said, per the racing site Carscoops, “And for BRADY to now be a part of Hertz Team JOTA as the future of motorsport apparel and design is an incredibly exciting opportunity.” Now, as he prepares to try his hand with newsletters while juggling broadcasting duties, someone isn’t pleased with how Brady took his place.

Greg Olsen isn’t buying the idea of Tom Brady as Fox broadcaster

See, there was a time when Greg Olsen used to be the heart of Fox’s broadcasting team. The moment Joe Buck and Troy Aikman left the network to work with ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Greg Olsen and Kevin Burkhardt quickly became the No.1 announcing team for Fox until Brady came along.

Week in and week out, they used to call games throughout the season. Even in 2023, a year before Brady arrived at Fox. Olsen and Burkhardt’s duo were supposedly the 4th best on TV as per Awful Announcing’s fan survey. Well, Olsen’s achievements didn’t end there. He even took home the Sports Emmy for best event analyst that year, showcasing his contributions to the network.

However, when Brady came along in 2024, Olsen was replaced from the Fox’s No.1 broadcasting team. And that has left a bad taste in his mouth. In an event promotion for his “The Heartest Yard,” Olsen said how he really feels about getting demoted, “It s—-.” While Olsen would obviously not be happy after finding himself in the backseat, he still doesn’t have resentment in his mind.

“I don’t have any ill will there’s no personal resentment towards Tom, or obviously K.B. and Erin Andrews. I still talk to all of them fairly regularly…But yeah, it’s hard to sit there and watch games that over the last couple of years you were preparing for and you were calling.” Like for the first time in a while, Fox won’t have Olsen in their booth to call a Super Bowl. In his place, it would be first-year broadcaster Tom Brady, who still continues to find his feet in commentary.
