Antonio Brown sparks outrage by linking Tom Brady to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer after viral statue reveal
Tom Brady's statue unveiling at Gillette Stadium was meant to honor his iconic NFL legacy, but Antonio Brown turned the celebration into controversy. The former wide receiver shocked fans by comparing Brady's look to notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, igniting a storm of reactions across the sports world.
Antonio Brown mocks Tom Brady with
Jeffrey Dahmer comparison
Tom Brady's statue unveiling outside Gillette Stadium on Friday was meant to be a celebration of his legendary career. The New England Patriots immortalized their seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback with a bronze monument, drawing thousands of fans and former teammates. But Antonio Brown, never one to shy away from controversy, used the moment to take a jab at his former teammate.
On Sunday, Brown posted a side-by-side image of Brady and infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, noting similarities in their hairstyle and square-framed glasses.
The post quickly sparked reaction online, with some finding it humorous and others calling it distasteful.
Tom Brady shares heartfelt words and playful jab at Jets during speech
During the ceremony, Brady downplayed the idea that the Patriots' dynasty was built on just one man: "I know what this statue represents. It's not about one guy; it never is and never has been, and in football, it never will be. It's about a team and commitment to being great together."
In classic Brady fashion, he also couldn't resist a dig at his longtime AFC East rivals, the New York Jets — a team he dominated with a combined 8-31 record against him in the regular season and playoffs: "It will also give Jets fans something to throw their beer at as they leave the stadium – probably in the second quarter.

Rumors swirl over Tom Brady's influence with Las Vegas Raiders roster
While no longer on the field, Brady has remained close to the game as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Although he has denied having a major say in roster moves, NFL analyst Skip Bayless recently suggested Brady wasn't in favor of drafting Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer also reported that Brady flew privately to Las Vegas to discuss quarterback options, wanting to avoid the perception of 'lording over everything.
'
Reports claim Brady influenced decisions such as passing on Sam Darnold in free agency and holding out for Cam Miller, ultimately drafted in the sixth round.

How ultra rich ultra strict college with no booze, no s*x rules is rewriting the rules for America's top athletes
How ultra rich ultra strict college with no booze, no s*x rules is rewriting the rules for America's top athletes (Image via Getty) AJ Dybantsa is one of the biggest basketball stars in America right now. At just 18 years old, he is the top basketball prospect in the country. First published by Daily Mail, many people expect him to be the first pick in the 2026 NBA draft. But what surprised many is where he chose to play college basketball. Instead of going to famous schools like Alabama or North Carolina, AJ picked Brigham Young University, or BYU. This is a private school in Provo, Utah, known for strict rules that stop students from drinking alcohol, smoking, or having s*x before marriage. AJ's choice shocked many sports fans and experts because BYU is not known for winning national basketball titles. AJ Dybantsa's choice of BYU shows a new path for top athletes With a strict yet loving father, Ace Dybantsa, AJ Dybantsa was raised near Boston, Massachusetts. Ten push-ups every morning and evening were assigned to all of his youngsters by AJ's father when he was young. Because discipline and accountability are important to his father, those lessons helped AJ become a basketball star. Last year, AJ stunned everyone by signing up for BYU. The school has a strict Honor Code that prohibits alcohol consumption, smoking, and extramarital s*x. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo Although it has a robust support system and expanding sports program, BYU has never claimed a national basketball title. AJ's decision reflects major changes in college athletics. Players can now profit from endorsements thanks to fresh rules called NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). With some sources claiming it might reach $8.5 million, AJ's contract at BYU is thought to be valued at roughly $5 million. Even against conventional sports powerhouses, this positions BYU as a formidable opponent for top athletes. The school has a significant sports budget and is willing to invest to create a successful program. Also Read: Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's daughter Jaz shows sweet support for dad's thoughtful leadership speech Kevin Young and Ryder Lyons join AJ Dybantsa to raise BYU's game One reason AJ Dybantsa chose BYU is the basketball coach, Kevin Young. Young used to coach NBA players like Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant. He signed a seven-year contract with BYU worth $30 million. Young told the school's richest donors that he can turn BYU into a top basketball program. The school now has a full professional staff, including dietitians and trainers, to support players like AJ. In 2027, BYU will also welcome Ryder Lyons, a top football recruit. Lyons is expected to be BYU's best quarterback recruit in 20 years. Both athletes will help BYU grow as a place for top sports talent. AJ Dybantsa plans to spend just one season at BYU before entering the NBA draft. His father says AJ knows the strict rules and the consequences if he breaks them. The family's focus on discipline could make this a successful new chapter for both AJ and BYU basketball.

Taylor Swift To Announce 12th Album On Travis Kelce's Podcast? NFL Star Drives Swifties Wild
Last Updated: Swifties go into overdrive as Travis Kelce's podcast teases a 'special guest' and Taylor Nation drops 12 cryptic orange photos, hinting at her 12th album reveal. Taylor Swift fans are in full detective mode after Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce hinted at a 'VERY special guest" for their New Heights podcast. The announcement, paired with Taylor Nation's mysterious post of 12 orange-themed images just minutes later, has set social media ablaze with speculation about Swift's highly anticipated 12th studio album. The timing has only fuelled the excitement. The teased episode drops Wednesday, August 13 — Taylor's favourite number — with the social media clues landing on August 12. Many fans believe this could be the perfect setup for a major reveal. The Clues That Have Swifties Buzzing In the teaser shared on X, Travis, 35, is seen grinning at a blacked-out silhouette, while Jason, 37, sports a navy blue Eras Tour shirt. Fans immediately dissected every detail — from Travis' expression to the sparkly orange backdrop — connecting the imagery to Swift's branding. 🚨| This seems to be the picture from the thumbnail!!! — Taylor Swift Edits (@TSwiftEdits_13) August 11, 2025 One user posted: 'YALL WEARING TAYLOR SHIRTS. The background is sparkly orange. Oh my god." Another added: 'The Midnights shirt…the look on Travis' face…the silhouette…IM NOT CLOWNING YOURE CLOWNING." Swift, who has been dating Travis since 2023, has never appeared on the Kelce brothers' show but has been mentioned frequently. In September 2023, just after she attended her first Chiefs game, Travis praised her 'ballsy" move, saying everyone in the suite had only glowing things to say. What Taylor Swift Fans Can Expect on August 13 The New Heights episode airs at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday. While some fans are convinced Swift will join the Kelces on-air, others think the buzz could be leading to a surprise album drop or announcement. Swift has spent much of the NFL offseason with Travis, who is preparing for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, she was a frequent presence at games, including the Chiefs' overtime Super Bowl win against the 49ers in February 2024. Whether it's an album announcement, an on-air appearance, or just a clever tease, Swifties are counting down the hours — and reading into every pixel and post.

Fox Sports family bids tearful farewell to Jimmy Johnson after his surprise retirement at age 81
Fox Sports family bids tearful farewell to Jimmy Johnson after his surprise retirement at age 81 (Image Via Google) Jimmy Johnson has officially retired from the Fox Sports family on March 9, 2025, and it shocked all of us. The Hall of Fame football coach that led the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl excellence in the early 1990s stood up from the desk at Fox NFL Sunday after well over 30 years on the air. It hit home on a personal level, especially for Michael Strahan . In a matter of a few sentences, Jimmy Johnson left teammates, fans, and TV personalities asking, "How will we watch weekend football without Jimmy Johnson?" He was such a staple, and how could we even be on the set without his great opinions, loud laughter, and Texan charm? Michael Strahan and the Fox crew show deep emotion after Jimmy Johnson's exit On March 3, 2025, just after Jimmy Johnson revealed his decision, Michael Strahan, his longtime co-host wrote on social media: 'Congratulations on your retirement … You're truly one of a kind and thanks for being you and gifting me with one of the best friendships anyone could ever ask for.' This post came with a photo of the pair hugging, and it showed how much their friendship meant behind the scenes. Moments later, Erin Andrews shared a photo of the farewell party with Johnson, Strahan, and Charissa Thompson. Her caption said simply, 'Love our family.' These messages made clear that Jimmy Johnson's bond with the team went far beyond the studio, built over countless Sundays, road trips, and off-camera laughs.

At 81, Johnson admitted through tears, 'Going to miss my guys.' That simple phrase demonstrated how much those moments, individuals and relationships mattered to him, perhaps more than either of his two Super Bowl titles. His move was the culmination of not only a chapter in Fox Sports history, but it took away something that no amount of on-air talent could ever fill.
