Tom Brady makes first FOX Sports appearance in his $375m deal with the broadcaster bigging up the Michigan Wolverines ahead of team’s victory over the East Carolina Pirates

Tom Brady has finally appeared on TV for Fox Sports in what is part of a $375 million deal that sees the seven-time Super Bowl winner increase his alma issue – Michigan – ahead of the first game of the new Big 10 season against the East Carolina Pirates.

The 46-year-old, who revealed last month that he was dating supermodel Irina Shayk, appeared on the screens of college football fans on Saturday when he appeared in a promotional video calling out the Wolverines at Fox Big Noon Kickoff and sent a message from the start to other rival teams.

“Look guys, I hate to ruin this for everyone else, but this is Michigan’s year,” said the former quarterback.

“Coming in after two consecutive Big 10 titles, two beatdowns in Ohio State…sorry Urban (Meyers)…look, Coach Harbaugh has all the important pieces back. He’s got a blue chip quarterback in JJ McCarthy, a two-headed monster in the backfield, and we’ve got a loaded defense.

“The winningest program in college football history is poised to make another national championship run. We got this… let’s go! Go blue!!’

Brady’s rallying cry to his alma matter’s football team is just the beginning of a 10-year broadcast deal with Fox Sports, which he agreed to last summer, and which is expected to become more frequent on the network’s airtime in 2024.

Brady played for the University of Michigan from 1996 to 1999 before being called up to the New England Patriots.

He was part of the Wolverines team that defeated the Washington State Cougars in the 1998 Rose Bowl and earned a national championship title despite Brian Griese starting quarterback for Michigan.

Brady started every game in the 1998 and 1999 seasons, earning All-Big Ten honorable mentions both seasons. He was the captain of the team in his senior year.

The rest is history…Brady was called up by the New England Patriots in 2000 and won six Super Bowl titles under Bill Belichick. He also won a Super Bowl in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady retired at the end of the 2022–23 season and is expected to be honored by the Patriots in the team’s opening game on September 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium.

One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Brady has begun investing outside of American football after acquiring a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

He also bought a minority stake in Birmingham City, an English football club that plays in the country’s second professional division, known as the Championship.
