Tom Brady BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tom Brady has been absolutely everywhere in the past few days and the headlines just keep coming. Over the past week, most notably, Brady forcefully shot down wild rumors that he was being paid an eye-popping 75 million dollars to play in a Saudi Arabian flag football showcase. The story started after Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports confidently claimed Brady would bank the sum to play in the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh alongside current NFL players. Brady wasted no time responding on social media, sarcastically joking that these rumors might as well have said Elvis was doing the halftime show and Babe Ruth was signing autographs. His humorous denial not only dismissed the story but also highlighted how quickly misinformation can blow up around high-profile athletes, and social media applauded his handling of the situation. According to Pro Football Network and The Spun, Brady’s quick clapback set the record straight and went viral online.
Brady’s expanding post-football career is also making headlines. He has officially joined Aescape, an AI-powered massage technology startup, as Chief Innovation Officer. According to Spa Business and The Fourth Quarter Weekly, this is not just a typical athlete-brand deal: Aescape has acquired exclusive rights to Brady’s famous recovery and pliability protocols, and TB12, his wellness brand, will be part of their AI platform. This marks Brady’s highest-profile pivot into sports tech, positioning him as a front-facing executive as well as an investor, and analysts say this could reshape how technology is used in sports recovery.
On the media front, the debate around Brady’s dual role as an NFL broadcaster for Fox and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders continued to stir. According to TMZ Sports and The Craig Carton Show, critics keep hammering the potential conflict of interest, but Brady addressed the chatter head-on in his own 199 newsletter. He wrote that he sees no real conflict, arguing that his duty is to “grow, evolve, and improve the game.” Some commentators, like O’Dwyer PR, remain unconvinced, but the NFL itself seems happy to keep Brady visible and active in both roles, seeing him as a massive asset for the league’s global image.
Adding just a bit of classic controversy, Parade and several social media accounts reported Brady caught backlash for a comment made during his recent broadcast about “kicking the dog” when describing a frustrated player’s emotions. PETA criticized the comment, and fans were split between outrage and brushing it off as a common idiom.
All this comes as Brady remains one of the sharpest business minds among recent NFL retirees, with Parade and TWSN Sports noting his $375 million Fox contract and a string of investments cementing a net worth north of half a billion dollars. Despite all the noise, Brady seems to be doubling down—not stepping away—from the business, media, and football worlds, blending influence, entertainment, and legacy play with each public move.
