Tom Brady has a lot on his plate (but not just any job) cold cuts). The man who is even more stretched than the thinnest slice of processed turkey has one less thing to compete for this time around.
Birmingham City Football Club has announced that Brady has left the franchise.
“Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement and unwavering support of the club over the past three years,” the team said in a post on its website titled “Departure of Tom Brady.”
Brady acquired a minority stake in the team and became chairman of the advisory board in August 2023, less than a year after his second and final retirement from the NFL.
Brady, whose other assignments include being Fox’s top NFL analyst and owning a Raiders game, made waves with comments made in a Birmingham City documentary (or, as most sports documentaries are now, an infomercial). regarding work ethics from the club’s former manager Wayne Rooney.
There’s no reason to question Brady’s work ethic. There’s plenty of reason to wonder if he’s trying to do too much by wearing so many hats. There are only a limited number of hours in a day, and a limited number of days in a week.
He wrote in his newsletter (assuming he even writes it) about balance. Perhaps his decision to withdraw from the world of football is aimed at achieving a better balance.
If he gets a nice return on his investment along the way, that’s even better for Brady. Especially since he appears to be in a race with Peyton Manning to acquire enough money to become the majority owner of an NFL team.
The biggest problem is this. As Brady’s net worth grows, the price tag for NFL ownership rises even faster.
Either way, he probably now has more money to add to the fund to eventually purchase a franchise and, more importantly, one less thing to consume his time and attention.
