Tom Brady could soon be back in the NFL world, but this time as an owner instead of an active player.
The retired quarterback was reported to be in discussions to purchase a minority stake in the Raiders a few weeks ago. During Monday’s NFL spring meetings, the sale was agreed on by both sides and submitted to the NFL for approval, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
The finalization of the sale won’t occur this week, but this is the next step that needed to be taken.

Can you feel it, folks?
We’re inching closer and closer to fantasy football draft season! Over the last few years, managers who’ve put a greater emphasis on grabbing rookies in their drafts have been rewarded with breakout stars and draft bargains the likes of Najee Harris, Kenneth Walker, Ja’Marr Chase and Garrett Wilson. Of course, a big part of that success is picking the right “big names” and avoiding those who fall into the bust category.
Also, the reality of this fantasy situation is that there are far more disappointments than rookies who blow up in the stat sheets.
With the Celtics now staring down a 3–0 deficit in the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat, former Boston star Kendrick Perkins says it’s time for the team to move on from the Jaylen Brown/Jayson Tatum duo.
Speaking on ESPN’s First Take on Monday morning, Perkins said, “It’s time to break up the duo” after Boston’s embarrassing 26-point defeat in Game 3. The ESPN analyst even proposed an intriguing trade for Brown that would shake up the NBA.
“[Brown and Tatum] don’t complement each other well,” Perkins said.
Before he became the most well-known golf commentator in the world, David Feherty was a professional golfer himself. The year 1986 was rather kind to the legend as he won the Italian Open in May and followed that up with a Scottish Open victory three months later.
While his win in Italy was special given it was his first on the European Tour and came against fellow Northern Irishman Ronan Rafferty, the best story came out of the Scottish Open, and it specifically involved the now-lost trophy from the tournament and Led Zeppelin.
Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is voicing his concern over a potential issue arising in MLB.
With the new pitch clock rules has come a significant increase in baserunning activity, with far more players attempting to steal bases than in previous years. In 2023, MLB teams are averaging 0.89 attempted stolen bases per game, the highest since 2012, and they are converting at a 78.8% success rate.
Arch Manning’s first semester of college is in the books. The nation’s No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024 will begin the second semester of his freshman year while the majority of his classmates begin their first semester in August.
In the meantime, the future of Texas football is working to get better. There will be no lifeguard or lawn mowing job this summer. It’s all business.
Arch Manning, who arrived in Austin with a lot of hype, reminded the Longhorns faithful to keep their expectations in check with a poor performance in his first spring game. He is only 18 years old.
Ben Roethlisberger had Kenny Pickett on his podcast and admitted he initially didn’t want the then-rookie to have immediate success last season.
Tom Brady will soon be an NFL owner after reaching a deal to purchase part of the Raiders.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion retired after this past season, and all signs point to him eventually heading to the booth to work NFL games for Fox.
However, he decided cashing in from the booth wasn’t enough to keep him busy in retirement. The former Bucs and Patriots star has reached a deal with Raiders owner Mark Davis to buy a minority share of the team, according to Albert Breer.
There’s no concrete timeline for when the deal will be finalized, but the process is underway.
Are more suspensions on the way? The NFL is investigating another potential wave of violations.
Charles Barkley wasn’t about to let Gabe Vincent compliment the Celtics.
The Miami Heat are running the Boston Celtics out of the gym in the Eastern Conference Finals with a supporting cast around star wing Jimmy Butler that mostly consists of undrafted players who are playing like All-Stars right now. One of the breakout stars of the Heat’s playoff run has been Gabe Vincent, a 26-year-old guard who has never averaged double-figure points in his career but is suddenly Miami’s third leading scorer in the postseason.
