Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan may reportedly be banned from a pair of marquee NFL games by their employers at Fox Sports.

The 47-year-old Tom Brady began his 10-year, $375 million broadcast deal with Fox Sports last season, working on the network’s top team with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt. Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan co-host “Fox NFL Sunday” with Howie Long, Curt Menefee, Jay Glazer and Rob Gronkowski.

This year, Netflix will broadcast two of the three 2025 NFL Christmas Day games: the Dallas Cowboys at the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions at the Minnesota Vikings.

It remains to be seen who the announcers will be for those games. But according to Michael McCarthy and Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, both Fox and ESPN aren’t interested in loaning their top talents to the streaming giant for the Dec. 25 contests:

“Some rival networks are bristling at the idea of lending their on-air talents to the streaming behemoth for this year’s holiday double-header, sources tell Front Office Sports.

When the Commanders face the Cowboys and the Vikings play the Lions on Christmas Day, ESPN talent won’t appear on the Netflix presentation of the games, sources said. Fox talent is not expected to appear, either.”

If true, that would mean banning the likes of Tom Brady, Kevin Burkhardt, Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from working the Christmas Day games for Netflix.

 

For the Pittsburgh Steelers-Kansas City Chiefs Christmas game last year, CBS Sports loaned Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson and JJ Watt to Netflix. Ian’s son, NBC commentator Noah Eagle, called the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game with Fox analyst Greg Olsen.

Tom Brady Enters Year Two With Fox Sports

As expected, Tom Brady endured some growing pains in his first year as a Fox Sports commentator, but the seven-time Super Bowl champion got much better as the season progressed.

With a full year of broadcasting experience under his belt, year two in the booth should run a lot smoother for TB12.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
