Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has officially begun his new chapter as a sports analyst, arriving at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for a preseason matchup between the LA Rams and Dallas Cowboys.
The California native, donning a dapper navy suit jacket with matching trousers and a polka dot tie, was spotted on the field a few hours before kickoff, chatting with broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt and billionaire Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Curiously, Sunday’s game was being carried by NFL Network and not Fox Sports, despite Brady’s new role as a lead NFL analyst for the network.
It’s been a busy week for the NFL legend, who celebrated his birthday on a yacht before jetting into Paris for the Olympics with his daughter, Vivian, and attending a Morgan Wallen concert in Las Vegas.
Last month, Brady revealed he’ll be taking a different approach to his new career as a broadcaster than he did as a player. During an appearance on The Pivot podcast, the 47-year-old admitted he took football “too seriously” compared to other quarterbacks, namely 28-year-old Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.
“When I see these young players, I see like Patrick [Mahomes] out there at quarterback, running around, laughing, having fun, I’m like, ‘I used to be like that. What the hell happened?’ Brady said with a laugh. “I just got too serious, but, again, I can only look back and think, ‘Okay, if I do it again, which I’ll never do it again, I would be different.'”

Although he isn’t planning on un-retiring again, Brady said he’s taking that mentality to his second career in the broadcast booth. “So you learn from it. Now, next phase of life, enjoy it a little more,” he explained.
Since hanging up his football boots, the former signal caller has inked a lucrative 10-year, $375million contract with Fox Sports to become the network’s lead NFL analyst. In addition to his highly-anticipated broadcast career, Brady is a part franchise owner of multiple teams.
He owns stakes in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, Birmingham City FC in the EFL, and Las Vegas Night Owls in Major League Pickleball. He is also bidding to be a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
