Tom Brady gave depressed New York Giants fans a reason to chuckle on Sunday during the NFC wild-card game. On a run from Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs in the second quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady, the FOX NFL analyst, accidentally dropped the name of a Giants fan favorite.
Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco were relieved from their duties with the Raiders following a disastrous 4-13 campaign.
Brady, who is a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, reportedly is pushing for the team to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to fill their vacancy at head coach. The team also has interviewed Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for the position.
Tom Brady will have his chance to fix the Raiders. The Raiders minority owner and Fox NFL analyst will have “a lot” of influence on the team’s coaching search following former Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce’s dismissal on Tuesday, according to The Athletic.
Former New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs says “no question” that former teammate Eli Manning is a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was denied the chance to break the NFL rushing record after being rested in the last week of the regular season.
Minority owner Tom Brady could bump into some of the Raiders' top coaching and GM candidates before his broadcast this weekend in Detroit.
Tom Brady has reportedly approached Bill Belichick for the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching opening, but the team could also turn to a key contributor for Andy Reid on the Kansas City Chiefs.
While a lot of talk surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders' head coaching search has centered around Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, one NFL insider suggested another name to keep an eye on recently.
The biggest takeaway here for the NFL fan is that if you were hoping Brady would focus 100% of his attention on the Raiders so that Greg Olsen could be reunited with Kevin Burkhardt, it isn’t happening any time soon.
Since winning a ho-hum Super Bowl in Atlanta (13-3 over the Rams), the Patriots have endured a six-season freefall fueled by ego, greed, hubris, and legacy.
