New Raiders owner Tom Brady had a pregame interview with Patrick Mahomes

The same week that Tom Brady officially became owner of the Raiders, he scored an interview with the quarterback of his new team’s archrivals.

Brady’s conversation with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was part of the Fox pregame show.

It’s a subtle middle finger to the restrictions the league has placed on Brady, the broadcaster. He is not allowed to be in another team’s facility. He can’t come to training. He cannot attend production meetings.

Apparently he can conduct in-person interviews with non-Raiders players at a neutral location.

It’s another example of Brady’s bizarre duality as team owner and broadcaster. What other team owner would interview a player from another team?

Only Brady. Only because he got a deal to buy part of the team at a significant discount. Only because the competition didn’t force him to choose a job. Even if he had to.
