The Chiefs quarterback and the retired NFL star chatted and snapped photos together ahead of the F1 Miami Grand Prix When it comes to the current controversy surrounding Bill Belichick Bill Simmons couldn’t help but view it through the prism of being a New England Patriots fan While the email is largely focused on the PR strategy to promote his upcoming book one portion of the message touts Belichick’s role in helping grow the Patriots from a franchise worth $500 million to $8 billion over the course of his tenure with the team After Russillo noted that it’s actually the NFL’s TV deals that played the biggest part in the exploding evaluation Simmons pointed out that the email “explains a lot about what happened from the mid-2010s on with [Tom] Brady and Belichick.” we’re just about Super Bowls,'” Simmons said “But there was clearly some sort of ego thing and it’s two guys that really understood their place in history in a whole bunch of different ways There’s no credit.’ But the credit thing was a big part of it and [Jimmy] Garoppolo is in there and [Brady’s] really thinking about — I never wanted to believe it when [ESPN’ Seth] Wickersham and people like that were reporting about it Stop trying to cause trouble.’ But there clearly was a a ton of trouble Simmons continued: “I think that really explained to me why Brady didn’t end up [re-signing] with the Patriots because what everybody was writing about and doing the sports radio topic of ‘who’s more responsible for all the Super Bowls: Belichick or Brady?’ And the right answer was always both They needed each other and that’s the answer they both kind of thought each of them was more responsible than the other So when I read that paragraph [in the email] I thought Belichick must have been so pissed when Brady had that Tampa season where he won the title Because clearly he does give a s**t about all this stuff.” Ben Axelrod is a veteran of the sports media landscape having most recently worked for NBC's Cleveland affiliate he covered Ohio State football and the Big Ten for outlets including Cox Media Group Shane Riordan opens up about his sudden departure from 670 The Score calling it his "dream job" — but one he could no longer afford to keep "I was just there trying to defuse the whole situation "This is a superstar series...this is a Brunson "Maybe MLB should read 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'" Brady was on a podcast with Deion Sanders and Shedeur last year The subject of 'Grown's' $400k Rolls-Royce was brought up with the legendary NFL QB telling Shedeur to focus on football.  “I think he needs to get his ass in the film room and spend as much time in there as possible and less time in the car,” Brady said.   While the future Hall-of-Famer threw it out there Sanders' flashy ways are part of his brand with a reported $6.5 million NIL valuation likely more than his entire rookie contract with the Browns His love for the pricey chains was evident last year.   showing off $1 million

selected in the 2025 NFL draft going 231st overall in the seventh round to the Miami Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa is the Dolphins' unquestioned starting quarterback just like Drew Bledsoe was for the Patriots when Brady was drafted there is a definite path available to Ewers to make Miami's roster the only other quarterback on the Dolphins roster is Zach Wilson who has thus far been a bust since the New York Jets took him second overall in the 2021 NFL draft having missed time in all but one of his five NFL seasons due to concussions and a host of other injuries Much like a Bledsoe injury opened the door for Brady a Tua injury could perhaps do the same for Ewers at some point in the future It may be a stretch to suggest Ewers would be able to take advantage of the opportunity in the same way Brady did but there is no doubt that Jones is right about there being several parallels between Ewers and Brady Brady had 36 receptions for 386 yards (10.7 per) and three touchdowns last

ahead of the Miami Grand Prix the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is enjoying the niceties that follows being an investor in an F1 team The Alpine F1 team investor attended the annual American Express presents Carbone Beach party, held on South Beach. Rubbing shoulders with other huge celebrities and sportsman like NFL legend Tom Brady and is limited to only 400 guests per evening it's seen as one of the most exclusive and upmarket parties in Miami "I never would have dreamed of being at an Amex x Carbone Beach party," he said Look at all of these chandeliers and rigatoni...this is AWESOME....Not sure what heaven feels like but I'm pretty sure it feels like Carbone Beach during...F1." Mahomes has a stong connection to F1 after he invested in the Enstone team in 2023. Alongside others such as Travis Kelce and Ryan Reynolds the group invested $218 million into the French team "I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1," Kelce said at the time "Our shared passion for excellence and innovation forms the cornerstone of this partnership "It's about being able to contribute to a sport that demands precision I am looking forward to this new chapter and can't wait to see what we achieve together." The opportunity to lead an investor group with Travis in Alpine F1 alongside Otro Capital was one I couldn't pass up "It's an exciting time for the sport and this is an opportunity to bring our shared values to the world stage I'm looking forward to being a part of its growth."

And a third posted: "First and second best of all time. The cool thing is we won’t know which is which for another decade or so." And one fan even thought that Brady, who now works as a broadcaster for Fox Sports, looked in good enough shape to get the better of Mahomes, some two years after retiring.

trade this offseason the Ottawa Senators captain made sure to snuff it out this weekend Speaking about the persistent rumors that he wants out of Ottawa an irritated Tkachuk was very clear in his messaging at Senators break-up day “Obviously it’s a lie,” Tkachuk stated flatly But I think it’s on me if I let that bother me or take me off what I’m trying to do Everyone knows that I’ll do whatever it takes to win Everybody wants to accomplish the same thing and win the Stanley Cup.” Earlier this season, before the Senators found their groove and eventually ended a seven-year playoff drought by capturing the first wild card in the Eastern Conference rumors were rampant that Tkachuk was sick of the losing in Ottawa and wanted to be traded The 25-year-old had never played a postseason game in his career before this season and just watched up close when his brother Matthew helped the Florida Panthers win the Stanley Cup last spring the rumors made sense — at least on the surface which made even more sense considering general manager Chris Drury was looking to shake up the roster mix and Tkachuk was exactly the type player the Blueshirts coveted — fiery The Senators became so annoyed with the rumors that Tkachuk was going to be traded to the Rangers that their owner dropped a “soft tampering” accusation against the Blueshirts in December and we defer to the commissioner’s office,” a Rangers spokesperson said in reply to Andlauer’s comment Related: Mike Sullivan hire by Rangers a ‘home run’: Brian Boyle acquiring the veteran center from the Vancouver Canucks on Jan and would seemingly still have interest in trying to add Tkachuk this offseason though there’s been no credible reporting about that possibility He sounded all-in on Ottawa after that series concluded last week “I want to play here, I want to be here, and I really believe in everybody in this organization that everybody wants to win here,” Tkachuk told reporters Everybody has the same goal and wants to accomplish the same thing.” Tkachuk has a full no-move clause in his contract that kicks in July 1. He has three years remaining on his $8.2 million AAV deal and can become an unrestricted free agent in the 2028 offseason It sounds like if the Rangers really want the stud forward More About: It was Edelman's first year on the ballot and he earned the honors after an incredible career in New England In an Instagram story from Tom Brady Edelman was congratulated on making the Patriots Hall of Fame Brady threw to a lot of incredible receivers in his future Hall of Fame career and Edelman was one of the best he ever played alongside Brady threw 35 touchdowns to Edelman in New England, the third most in touchdowns to a single receiver in Brady's career. Edelman was a huge factor in every postseason run the Patriots went on, even winning Super Bowl MVP in 2018 New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) and wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) during Opening Night for Super Bowl LIII at State Farm Arena Edelman had 6,822 receiving yards with the Patriots He also has the most targets with 941 and the second most receptions with 620 Edelman tallied up 1,442 receiving yards in the postseason He helped the Patriots win three Super Bowls and was an instrumental part of the Patriots' dynasty from the moment he arrived in 2009 to his retirement after 2020 The connection between Edelman and Brady was a major factor in the Patriots becoming a dynasty Their chemistry helped the Patriots win multiple Super Bowls.  The duo reached their peak together on a miraculous catch against the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl Edelman's catch kept the Patriots alive and was the turning point in the Patriots overcoming a 28-3 deficit While Edelman never won any major individual awards for his regular-season work his postseason greatness helped Brady and the Patriots become the dynasty Patriots fans know today Brady's message to Edelman isn't an elaborate one but it's a short and sweet one that showcases their relationship and Brady's appreciation for Edelman Sanders, who starred at Colorado, was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns as the No It was quite the fall from the top-five projections by many mock drafts Safe to assume, the 23-year-old quarterback is eager to prove everyone wrong. He, however, has to earn his spot, with the Browns also having veterans Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and rookie Dillon Gabriel in its roster of signal-callers.  Amid everything, an old video of NFL legend Tom Brady chatting with Sanders resurfaced. After Sanders talked about having a Rolls Royce as a college kid, the seven-time Super Bowl champion offered a sound suggestion NFL legend Tom Brady at a sports card shop in New Jersey Anne-Marie Caruso/NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "I think he needs to get his (expletive) in the film room and spend as much time in there as possible and less time in the car,” said Brady in the video published last year If there's one player who should know about rising from the bottom of the draft, it's Brady. He was selected by the New England Patriots in the sixth round as the No Multiple reports said Sanders' attitude and the possible interference of his father, NFL icon Deion Sanders The Browns could harness his potential and help him become a well-rounded quarterback He threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in his final year with the Buffaloes.  there were several players who made a huge impact on his career but there are few as important as former wide receiver Julian Edelman who spent his entire 12-year career with the franchise Now, Edelman's time with New England will never be forgotten because on Monday, the team announced that he had been voted on by fans to become the 37th member to enter the Patriots Hall of Fame Congratulations bubs," via his Instagram story Tom Brady reacting to Julian Edelman news Brady and Edelman formed an elite duo as the wide receiver would go on to accumulate 620 receptions 6,822 yards and 36 touchdowns in 137 regular-season games He was also a part of three of the Patriots' championship-winning runs, even being named Super Bowl LIII MVP after hauling in 10 receptions and 141 yards in their 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) and wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) as Edelman continued to be a threat for Brady throughout the playoffs being targeted 180 times while accumulating 118 receptions Now, the two will be enshrined forever in Patriots' history, as Brady was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame back in 2024 after playing his final season for New England in 2019 although it’s not exactly clear as to what prompted it or when the messages were exchanged On Friday (May 2), the controversial football star took to X, formerly Twitter, to share a screenshot of an alleged private conversation between him and the Super Bowl champion in which Brady appeared to began by praising AB The former Pittsburgh Steeler replied: "Love ya champ !!! thanks for everything your presence a blessing.” Continuing to speak highly of his former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Brady seemingly then encouraged Brown to take care of his mental health please don't miss your psychologist appointments,” he allegedly wrote “PHYSICAL – you have mastered and it is easy for you to work hard MENTAL – you are very smart and you know the game You need to work equally as hard here!" Brown captioned his post: “Please don't miss Psychologist appointments... It’s unclear when the supposed exchange took place given that AB shared no timeframe or timestamps Antonio Brown’s contentious relationship with Tom Brady has seen him take a few shots at the future Hall of Fame QB, including comments about his rest time and even allegations about sleeping with Brady’s ex wife Gisele Bündchen It’s not just Brady in the firing line of Brown’s antics, the athlete/rapper has been trolling Shannon Sharpe in recent weeks, after a woman filed a $50 million lawsuit accusing the Club Shay Shay host of sexual assault Brown, who was accused of rape by his former trainer Britney Taylor in 2019 and faced domestic battery charges in 2022 shared several posts ridiculing Sharpe on X He also made suggestions about Sharpe's sexual orientation While Sharpe has a lot on his plate right now with the lawsuit, things aren't looking so bright for Brown, either.

two Canisius College classmates And that serendipity makes me love Elaine's new book all the more noticed that she had written more about lunch with her dear friends than about their visit to the Louvre (Photo courtesy of Gabriela Sciolino Plump) Elaine knows that fortress turned palace turned museum with a singular intimacy The same goes for her connection to its most famous resident "We

can’t buy The Peace Bridge loomed down the street and she often walked across it for ballet lessons in Fort Erie when she I have learned to talk about anything with anybody," she writes "from farmers and factory workers to presidents and kings Elaine's mother schooled her early on about this notion of really seeing She would ask her children to look hard at paintings by Géricault and Matisse and Monet at the Albright-Knox "Look at ordinary things," her mother would say of the apples and knives of a still life She covered the Middle East for Newsweek when she was the first American She joined

Seduction: How the French Play the Game of Life." It is "that rare book written by an American that French people could read to understand themselves." Next came a pair of best sellers: 2015's "The Only Street in Paris: Life on the Rue Des Martyrs" and 2019's "The Seine: The River that Made Paris." (We told you about that one here.) "Adventures in the Louvre" completes what she calls her Paris trilogy I wrote about a river and I wrote about a museum," she says her river the Niagara and her museum the Albright-Knox She hasn't been back since it reopened as the AKG "I hope to come and see it in a different way," she says "rediscovering a museum I have always loved." “The Seine: The River That Made Paris,” was originally going to have a chapter about the Niagara to have been titled “River of My Childhood.” “It just didn’t fit,” she says “It’s hard to realize when you have to cut out so forbidding place where she had an obligation to take visiting out-of-town friends or for the crowds who always surrounded her just a small painting of a silk merchant's wife Elaine Sciolino poses with one of the Louvre's most famous residents Elaine recently wrote a guest essay for the Wall Street Journal with the headline: "I Didn't Get the Fuss Over the Mona Lisa and to the smile they call the most famous in the world which is how she could charm a curator into allowing her that one-on-one with the one and only Let's just say the Louvre is no longer purgatory for Elaine and history to people who are interested in having a distraction from the incoming fire on this battleground that is our world today." Which is not to say that Elaine is an expert in art history There are already many books about the Louvre by people who are She looks at the Louvre instead through the lens of a highly skilled journalist My late sister earned a doctorate at the University of Toronto and became an authority on the short stories of Thomas Hardy Donna earned a doctorate at Harvard University and became an authority on Elizabethan theater Elaine writes in her book's introduction of remembering nothing about that first visit to the Louvre but wishing she could claim she'd been moved by its majesty "Kristin and Donna had studied art history with Thalia Feldman," Elaine says of the noted chair of the art-history program at Canisius recently joined Elaine for another trip to the Louvre but she was with us in spirit," Elaine says "And she will always be a part of that extraordinary summer we had." Elaine is currently on a cross-country book tour in tandem with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd her friend from their time as metro reporters at the newspaper 40 years ago Dowd told the standing-room audience that her parents had a reproduction of the Mona Lisa in the home where she grew up She asked Elaine if Mona is great art − or overrated and she is overrated at the same time," Elaine answered Then she told how the painting only achieved true worldwide fame when it was stolen in 1911 (The Times headline: "60 Detectives Seek Stolen 'Mona Lisa,' French Public Indignant.") the Mona Lisa is famous for being famous − like the Kardashians came when Robert Kardashian was one of O.J Elaine's mother became a painter herself after her kids were grown She took art courses at the University at Buffalo and the Chautauqua Institution and converted Elaine's childhood bedroom into an art studio "I had a strained relationship with my mother "I was going off being a foreign correspondent and doing these dangerous things My mother delighted in teaching Gabriela how to paint." Gabriela's eulogy included a story: "One time I learned there was more to art than what you see at first glance you must look at it hard and interpret it in different ways."

Times “The first thing that attracted me was the degree that you get and the alumni that they have there I think it’s so impressive what they have going on there “I also really love the people they recruit They don’t recruit any guy that’s just running a 4.3 40-yard dash I think that was just something that my family and I were really attracted to.” Smigiel is confident offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey can develop him into an NFL prospect “I think the offense just fits my skill set really well,” Smigiel said “Coach Chip Lindsey was at North Carolina two years ago with Drake Maye and I would say I have the same play style as him so just being able to see what he’s able to do with guys with my skillset.” Michigan is in a great spot with 2026 four-star cornerback Dorian Barney and he has an official visit scheduled for the weekend of June 20 He even recently said that the amount of visits he has taken says a lot about how much he likes the program “With Michigan, I’ve been up there twice this spring,” Barney told 247Sports’ Brice Marich ($) Barney has spent a lot of time talking to Michigan defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan and it sounds like they have formed a great relationship the defensive backs coach (is the coach I talk with the most),” Barney said I’ve been talking to him and I can really relate to him I feel like I can take the coaching from him.” After Barney takes his official visits this summer we should hear more about a commitment date He noted he ideally wants to get that done before his senior season One target that will be committing soon is 2026 three-star defensive lineman Alexander Haskell “First, wherever I go has to feel like home,” Haskell told 247Sports’ Brian Dohn ($) you can tell who’s gassing you up and who’s being real ...I don’t want to go to a school I could already get into without football I want to use football to get into a place I couldn’t without it.” Michigan has the edge over Syracuse and Penn State when it comes to academics but that isn’t the only thing he is looking for “Do they see me playing across the line or just one position Playing one spot means you know it like the back of your hand — but limits versatility come draft time.” but we’ll have to wait and see if he sides with his hometown Nittany Lions NEWS: Four-Star DL Kendall Guervil is down to Schools, he tells me for @on3recruitsThe 6’4 315 DL from Fort Myers, FL is ranked as the No. 12 DL in the ‘26 Class (per On3)Where Should He Go?

"Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together." She's an award-winning reporter who covers sports and entertainment Days of our Lives actor Brandon Beemer was giving us all the feels as soon as we saw his character, Shawn Brady, on a one-way phone call last week with Hope (Kristian Alfonso), his mother, who informed her son that his father, Bo (Peter Reckell) Any son would feel a certain amount of desperation and helplessness which Beemer conveyed in Shawn’s watery eyes but the actor brought an additional emotion to his scenes — guilt Shawn shot Bo after mistakenly believing Hope’s life was in danger So not only is Shawn devastated by his mother’s news he’s also carrying remorse for committing the actions that led to his father’s current condition Naturally, Shawn reflected on happier times with his dad during this difficult time. Beemer played these emotional scenes with incredible depth. “When I was a kid, my dad and I, we both thought that my mom was gone,” Shawn recalled to Jada Hunter (the terrific Elia Cantu) ever let me see it,” added Shawn with the grateful perspective that can only come about when a person reaches adulthood “He never wanted to burden me — just always made sure that we stayed busy He wanted to make sure there was normalcy in our lives Longtime DAYS fans recall this time in the show’s history that Shawn was referring to — when Bo and his son were attempting to move forward without Hope (damn you You’d never know that Beemer didn’t play the part back then by the way he was able to recall that time as if he’d lived through it on-screen Jada asked Shawn about when he and Bo lived on a houseboat together (back when Bo referred to Shawn as his “sailor.”) “That was awesome…he and I would wake up and we’d go fishing,” Shawn recollected we’d take the boat further out in the water and we’d go swimming I actually think that’s when I learned to swim He would just pick me up and toss me overboard “But he would always jump in the water right after just to make sure that… just to make sure that I felt safe,” Shawn hastened to add Beemer made the choice to catch himself after Shawn mistakenly referred to Bo in the past tense When DAYS introduced the character of Jada, the show wisely tied her to the late Dr. Marcus Hunter (played by the late Richard Biggs) This enables Jada and Shawn the ability to more easily bond over the love they have for their respective dads Beemer had Shawn muster a smile after Jada’s pep talk but it’s going to take a while for Shawn to fully wrap around his head that he might lose his dad for a second time “I just feel so helpless right now,” a vulnerable Shawn told Jada There’s not a Bo and Hope fan out there that isn’t hoping that the motorcycle riding hero manages to cheat death yet again (He was believed dead about a decade ago.) Fortunately DAYS fans are never cheated out of watching great performances — Beemer’s solid work in these heart-wrenching scenes serve as a reminder of that Sign Up Indiana has found needed help at slot receiver for 2025 Cal transfer Jonathan Brady will reunite with Fernando Mendoza in Bloomington this year the 5-foot-10 and 180-pound Brady has played 41 games He has amassed 98 career receptions for 1,317 yards and 10 touchdowns and has only has three drops on 149 career targets Brady has also rushed 23 times for 140 yards during his career 386 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the Bears He played in all 13 games and saw 487 snaps Brady played on the outside for significant snaps due to injuries but will likely be a slot receiver for the Hoosiers He played almost exclusively at slot receiver over his first two seasons of college Brady transferred to California ahead of last season Brady committed to New Mexico State out of high school He was a two-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class Brady should have one year of eligibility remaining Indiana lost projected starting slot receiver Tyler Morris for the season due to a spring knee injury Morris had transferred in from Michigan and should be available in 2026 Brady will join a talented receiver room that includes Elijah Sarratt The Daily Hoosier –“Where Indiana fans assemble when they’re not at Assembly” Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has called on the Birmingham City fanbase to throw their support behind the club’s women’s team ahead of Sunday’s promotion decider against Michele Kang’s London City Lionesses The grand finale clash in the Women’s Championship will determine which second-tier side earns promotion to the Women’s Super League (WSL) London City lead the title race with 42 points to Birmingham’s 40 but last weekend’s draw against Durham opened the door for Birmingham to leapfrog them on the final day of the campaign The game is also a battle of sorts between American ownership and its recent investment in and influence on football across Europe London City Lionesses were acquired in December 2023 by businesswoman and investor Kang who also owns European powerhouse Olympique Lyonnais in France and the DC-based Washington Spirit in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Birmingham, meanwhile, welcomed retired quarterback Tom Brady to its ownership group in August 2023.

I treated every day like it was the biggest day I treated practice...like it was the Super Bowl There was never a moment that my teammates didn't feel like it was the biggest day So I'd say my competitiveness on a daily basis to win was max effort all the time Everyone in my team felt like when I walked in I better sit up straight and pay attention (because if not) they weren't gonna be a part of what we were doing and all the guys that were competitive like me Sainz then asked Brady when he felt he became a true leader in the NFL But I would say there's a great word that I call it 'competitive stamina.' You're either competing or you're not It just wasn't on...So I would treat a qualifying day like it was a race because that's how I wanted to see whether people were gonna do it or not A lot like Michael Jordan did and Kobe Bryant did.. "Michael Jordan was my idol growing up because he was so competitive and I always find like So it was almost like you volleyed the competitiveness considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time His competitive nature knew no bounds as has been documented many times five NBA MVP awards and 10 spots on the All-NBA First Team That Jordan-esque mentality clearly worked for Brady who made 10 Super Bowls and left the game in 2022 as the most accomplished player in NFL history He's a 15-time Pro Bowler and three-time NFL MVP who also won five Super Bowl MVP awards Brady also left the game as the NFL's career leader in passing yards (89,214) and touchdown passes (649).
