Tom Brady has made the move to the broadcasting booth with Fox and has been very vocal about his praise for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
While some fans have been annoyed about Brady seemingly never critiquing Mahomes' play, the "GOAT" is not about to change his broadcasting style anytime soon.
Throughout his first year in the broadcasting booth, Brady received a lot of critiques himself. There were times where he sounded nervous or simply did not have a good flow while calling the game. Fans who don't like Brady were very vocal about those issues.

Speaking of the fans upset with Brady for not saying negative things about Mahomes, he shared some words about why he approaches the game that way.

Brady recently did an interview with Complex Sports where he went into detail about why he won't send criticism at Mahomes.
"How can I throw shade at someone who's as amazing as he is?" he said. "I know what he's been through, and I think the one position that I'm in now as a broadcaster, I do feel responsibility. A: To tell the fans what I see and be honest and upfront about everything. But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult."
In his broadcasting career, Brady made it clear that he would rather point out how good players in the NFL are rather than tear them down with criticism.

"That's what I want to do on TV," Brady said. "And thought it was a great season because I've got a great team at FOX. And we're going to keep building on the success we had in year one."
It's a different way to broadcast games, but it's the style that Brady wants to have. Being a former player, he knows how difficult playing the game can be. He isn't about to pile on players when they struggle.
Heading into his second year as a broadcaster, it will be interesting to see how Brady develops in the booth. His knowledge of the game is next level, but he'll need to work on his flow and timing in order to take the next step.

Stefon Diggs Makes Strong Statement on Monday After Personal Event

Stefon Diggs Makes Strong Statement on Monday After Personal Event originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Lately, during OTAs, star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been getting himself acclimated to the New England Patriots, his new team for the upcoming season. Advertisement He has looked to build chemistry with promising young quarterback Drake Maye, and he's hoping to bounce back after his 2024 season was cut short by a torn ACL. After the Patriots' OTAs ended last week, they started their mandatory minicamp on Monday. Diggs found some time to hold his annual day camp for kids, and he made a statement about the event on his Instagram account. "Family, Football, and FUN!!!!" he wrote. "This was year 4 of my annual Diggs day camp. It's crazy watching these kids grow up right before our eyes. Thankful for everyone who played a part in the camps success.. let's keep going ❤️❤️❤️❤️" It may be easy to forget after his frustrating and disappointing 2024 season, but before that, Diggs was one of the NFL's very best wideouts. Dec 31, 2023; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (14) is tackled by New England Patriots defensive end Lawrence Guy Konezny-USA TODAY Sports From 2018 to 2023, he posted over 1,000 receiving yards each year, and he was named to the Pro Bowl four straight times from 2020 to 2023. Once the Minnesota Vikings traded him to the Buffalo Bills in 2020, he helped make the Bills into bona fide Super Bowl contenders. Advertisement But there were rumors of a rift between him and the team during his final season in Buffalo, and he was dealt to Houston last offseason. In eight games last season, he posted 47 catches, 496 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He's now a member of a rebuilding New England squad that is looking to get out of the post-Tom Brady wilderness. It will likely miss the playoffs again this winter, but it is hoping Diggs can help guide it back to respectability not too long from now.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Were Seated with the Same Last Name at a Special Table at Recent Wedding — All the Details

The seating placards for a recent wedding that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce" The wedding planner behind the Tennessee nuptials revealed the seat assignments on Instagram The news comes amid the recent success of Swift buying back her mastersThe wedding planner behind the Tennessee wedding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce recently attended dropped an Easter egg of her own — that the couple's seat assignments were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce." The photo of the seat assignment, shared by wedding planner Ellie Nottoli on Instagram Monday, June 9, also revealed that the couple was placed at table 13 — famously Swift's lucky number, which she used to paint on her hand for live performances during her early touring years. Other photos offered a behind-the-scenes look at the sky blue and butter yellow spring wedding color palette, as well as the setup of the whimsical outdoor wedding, including the blue hydrangea centerpieces. PEOPLE reached out to Nottoli for comment, but did not immediately hear back. The couple stepped out for the wedding in Tennessee on Friday, June 6. Photos and videos quickly circulated online after one attendee posted a snap of Swift talking to fellow wedding attendees with the caption, 'not taylor swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding." In additional photos and videos shared by guests at the ceremony, Swift, 35, wore a blue floral midi dress paired with brown platform sandals and her natural blonde waves. Kelce, 35, wore a striped button-down shirt, brown slacks, and black shoes. The "Fortnight" singer was seen spending time outdoors with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and their fellow wedding guests. Fans took to social media after Nottoli shared wedding details on social media — including the seat assignments for Swift and Kelce. One reposted an image of the invitation to X, and wrote: "TABLE 13????? TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE????😭😭😭 THIS IS SO SERIOUS😭😭." Another added, "TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE?!????? EXUSE ME." While a third wondered, "should i say congratulations? 🤫💍" Swift and Kelce's appearance at the wedding came shortly after the news of Swift acquiring her first six masters from Shamrock Capital after they were previously purchased by Scooter Braun.

The 14-time Grammy winner announced in an Instagram post that she regained control of her first six albums, directing fans to a handwritten letter posted to her website. "Hi. I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow," Swift wrote in the opening of the letter. "A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now," she continued. Read the original article on People

Kansas City Chiefs' 'Defensive Triplets' Disrespected in NFL Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs' 'Defensive Triplets' Disrespected in NFL Rankings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs hope to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX just four months ago. Advertisement The defense will look different as there have been additions and subtractions, mostly part of general manager Brett Veach's plan to get better. But it's three familiar faces that show up on SI's "defensive triplets" rankings, where the Chiefs' trio of Chris Jones, Nick Bolton and Trent McDuffie show up at No. 6, inside the top 10 but not in the first five, which is curious. 6. Kansas City Chiefs Triplets: Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie "Jones again played like the best defensive tackle in the NFL. His elite performances helped the Chiefs make the Super Bowl for the third consecutive season. McDuffie had no trouble playing on the outside full-time, and Bolton's consistency was rewarded with a three-year, $45 million extension." Advertisement Jones, the six-time Pro Bowler, posted 37 tackles with 19 solo and nine for loss with five sacks, a forced fumble and 20 QB hits. That's his lowest sack total since he registered two in his rookie year in 2016. In his fourth season last year, Bolton amassed 106 total tackles with 73 solo and 11 for loss. He added a career-high three sacks, an interception, six passes defended and two fumble recoveries with one forced fumble. McDuffie posted 59 total tackles with 45 solo and six for loss with half a sack and four QB hits across 16 games. He added a pair of interceptions, 13 passes defended and a forced fumble. If the Chiefs are going to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 campaign, then it will be partly due to the play of their "defensive triplets."
