Las Vegas is Tom Brady’s city.
According to The Athletic’s NFL Insider Dianna Russini, Tom Brady is reportedly “running the show” for the Las Vegas Raiders and had a heavy hand in the team’s general manager and head coaching search that landed them hiring John Spytek as GM and Pete Carroll as HC.
Appearing on The Ryen Russillo Podcast, Russini explained that Brady is effectively “running everything” in Las Vegas, to the point where he’s taking control of key parts of the team’s football operation.
“Let’s just start with making it really clear that Tom Brady is running everything in Vegas. It’s all Tom Brady. I think there’s some rumors, some chatter — I’m telling you, it’s all Tom Brady there. I mean, even his own TB12 programs are being installed, so to speak,” Russini said.

This has been something that many people believed since Brady became a minority owner for the Raiders and they’ve voiced their displeasure with a potential conflict of interest considering Brady calls NFL games for FOX.
But Fox and the NFL don’t seem nearly as gung-ho on taking away Brady’s broadcasting duties as fans do. Brady is schedule to call tomorrow’s NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LIX in 15 days from now.
