Roger Goodell: Tom Brady is “incredibly cooperative” avoiding Fox and Raiders conflicts
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says Tom Brady has done everything asked of him by the league in balancing his responsibilities as Fox’s No. 1 game commentator and a minority owner of the Raiders.
“Tom has been incredibly cooperative. He calls frequently about it and says, ‘Am I doing OK?’” Goodell said. “I think he’s serious that he separates the two and doesn’t put the league or anyone in a position of conflict.”
But the mere fact that Brady has to frequently call the league and ask if he’s doing OK shows that his situation is far outside the norm. Other team owners and game commentators don’t have to ask that question because they haven’t had special rules implemented for them the way Brady has.
Goodell reiterated that Brady, like every owner, is subject to the league’s tampering policy.
“Everybody in the National Football League, owners and personnel, is still subject to tampering rules,” Goodell said. “Everyone is responsible for his conduct and they’re held accountable.”
Goodell left room for the possibility that the policies on what Brady may and may not do could be changed this offseason. He did not say what changes are being considered.
In a recent interview, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had high praise for quarterback Tom Brady, calling him “incredibly cooperative” when it comes to avoiding conflicts with Fox and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Goodell commended Brady for his professionalism and willingness to work with the league and its broadcast partners to ensure there are no scheduling conflicts that could impact game broadcasts. He also noted that Brady has been a great ambassador for the league and a strong advocate for the game of football.
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set to face off against the Raiders in Las Vegas this season, Brady’s cooperation has been instrumental in ensuring that the game can go ahead without any issues. Goodell expressed his gratitude to Brady for his flexibility and cooperation in navigating the challenges of the NFL schedule.
Overall, Goodell’s comments highlight the positive impact that Brady has had on the league and his commitment to helping the NFL succeed. As one of the most successful and respected players in the history of the game, Brady’s leadership both on and off the field continues to set an example for his fellow players and fans alike.
