Tom Brady helping the Las Vegas Raiders is officially becoming a distraction they can hardly afford

Raiders lose home opener with Brady in coaches’ box

During the broadcast, they showed Tom Brady in the coaches’ box with all of the coordinators and coaches who elect to sit in the box rather than be on the sideline. That’s not something we have ever seen from play-by-play or color analyst broadcasters. And the fact that everyone saw that, and the report was made about Brady on national television, means that coaches probably won’t be talking to Brady anymore when he does their games on TV. And, to make things even more interesting, Brady calls the Chicago Bears game next week, one week before the Raiders play the Chicago Bears in Week 4.

After the game, Pete Carroll let everyone know that the report just isn’t true.”That’s not accurate. That’s not accurate,” Carroll told reporters. “We have conversations. I talk to Tom regularly, and Chip [Kelly] talks to Tom regularly. We have a tremendous asset. We all get along well and respect each other, so we all talk about life, football, or whatever. He has great insight. So, we are lucky to have him as an owner.”
