Tom Brady has landed in hot waters for his dual role during the NFL (National Football League) season.
According to Mail Online, Skip Bayless has slammed the former Patriots’ legend and claimed that he is “bullying” the NFL.
The day after covering the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles game as a Fox commentator, Brady was spotted sitting in the Las Vegas Raiders coaching booth on Monday, September 15, sparking criticism.
Former Fox Sports host and one of the biggest detractors of Tom Brady, Bayless, told The Arena, “This is such a bad look for everyone involved, including Tom Brady. I defended him for years… and now, in retirement, the runaway GOAT is trying to flex and flaunt like he’s the GOAT. He’s bullying the league. He’s big footing this league.”
“If he just remained in the shadows with the Raiders and made it clear, ‘This was just an investment. I’m going to be an absentee owner, a silent owner, and a silent partner to Mark Davis. I’m going to stay completely away.’ Maybe you could make it fly,” he added.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion, who is a minority owner of the Raiders, was seen in the coaches’ box with a headset working with the team’s offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly.
However, by working closely with coaches and fulfilling duties as a colour commentator, Brady is not breaking any NFL rules.
