Tom Brady just finished his second year as Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews. After a rocky debut year, reviews of his performance have improved, and producer Richie Zyontz says Brady plans to stick with broadcasting for the long haul after capping the season calling the NFC Championship between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.
Right now, he holds minority stakes in the Las Vegas Raiders, which ended their 2025 campaign with the league’s worst 3-14 record. So, Brady is heavily invested in the franchise overhaul heading into the 2026 season.
In the vacuum, folks developed a wrong idea about his eating habits, thinking he follows a rigid diet plan. The GOAT quarterback addressed the actual truth recently.
Tom Brady admits his diet isn’t as extreme as everyone believed
Away from football and business, Brady is also pushing back on a long-running narrative about his eating habits. The quarterback who famously stuck to an ultra-strict diet during his playing days told CNBC in an interview shared Tuesday that the public has read him all wrong.

“I think there’s probably been people [who] have gone kinda overboard with the rigidity of my lifestyle or diet,” Bradysaid. “I have kids and I have Halloweens and birthday parties and we’re like a normal family, so I try to make really healthy choices as often as possible. But when you’re watching football games and you’re in airports, I understand the reality of life as well.”
Tom Brady to me on why he’s willing to endorse Ferrero, Dunkin & Pizza Hut:

Brady made the comments while explaining why he now endorses Ferrero, Dunkin’, and Pizza Hut, which would have seemed unthinkable during his peak TB12 years with the New England Patriots.
Meanwhile, the Raiders are in full rebuild mode heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. They hold the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 2007 and are expected to draft Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
But the offseason turned chaotic when the Raiders and Baltimore Ravens agreed to trade star edge rusher Maxx Crosby for two first-round picks. However, the Ravens backed out after medical staff flagged concerns during Crosby’s physical.
Crosby stays with the Raiders for now, though insiders call the situation “fluid” and “strange.” However, the team’s most surprising move involved the quarterback position. Just one day after watching Heisman winnerMendoza’s pro day, theRaiders signed veteran Kirk Cousins to a deal worth up to $172 million.
