Tom Brady hints at playing flag football at 2028 Summer Olympics in L.A.
The inaugural inclusion of flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles might convince Tom Brady to come out of retirement - again. Brady, 47, was asked if he's felt any urge to represent Team USA since the sport was announced as an addition to the upcoming Games. 'I'm still very competitive,' Brady told Complex Sports on June 4. 'If you put a football in my hand, then watch out. Because that's still in there. That's never going to go away.' Flag football was officially announced as an Olympic sport in October 2023, eight months after Brady retired from the NFL for good. 'They almost need to tame me,' Brady continued. 'They need to put me in a cage when I get around a football field.' When Brady was told flag football will be 5-on-5 instead of the more traditional 7-on-7 format, he said, 'It doesn't matter what it is.' Last month, NFL owners voted at the Spring League Meeting to allow NFL players to play flag football in the Olympics. Each country's team will consist of 10 players and games will take place on a 50-yard field. Women's flag football will also be included at the 2028 Summer Olympics under the same guidelines. While Brady might consider representing his country at the Games, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not quite as enthused. 'I'll probably leave that to the younger guys,' Mahomes, 29, told reporters May 29. 'I'll be a little older by the time that thing comes around.' Mahomes will be 32 years old at the start of the 2028 Summer Olympics. Brady will be 50. While Mahomes might be on the sidelines, other current NFL players gushed about the potential opportunity to participate. 'Flag football players may be upset at me for this, but yes, I would absolutely love it,' Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jonestold ESPN last month. 'Every other sport gets an opportunity to win a gold medal, and if you're not serving your country in the military, I feel like that's the other highest honor that you can represent your country in.' Jones' teammate, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, said the idea of playing in the Olympics is one he will 'have to weigh in a little bit.'' 'It's three years from now, it's three whole seasons that I'm going to have to go through,' Jefferson, 25, told ESPN. 'Of course, getting older, body is going to be different, but that's definitely always been a dream. It's always been something I always wanted to do, compete for your country versus all of the other countries in the rest of the world.' Copyright 2025 Us Weekly. All rights reserved.

Philadelphia legend Fran Dunphy reunites with former player at 110th anniversary of Big Brothers Big Sisters
How the relationship between a legendary Philly coach and former player grew bigger than basketball How the relationship between a legendary Philly coach and former player grew bigger than basketball How the relationship between a legendary Philly coach and former player grew bigger than basketball Big Brothers Big Sisters of America hosted its national conference in Philadelphia this week. The longtime mentorship organization is celebrating its 110-year anniversary. For decades, the organization has paired mentors with young people to help set them up for success. And there's few better examples of that than the relationship between a retired college coach and one of his former players. The relationship between coach Fran Dunphy and Steve Nesmith started 46 years ago when Nesmith was a high school student. Dunphy coached a young Nesmith at Malvern Prep and later on at American University. It's where Dunphy became more than just a coach but also a Big Brother. "I can still hear Coach Dunphy in my mind: Be strong, don't give up, there's always tomorrow," Nesmith said. "I admire what he has accomplished. He is truly a good man, which means everything to me," Dunphy said. Dunphy went on to coach at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University and La Salle University, becoming the all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history. He retired this year. Nesmith and Dunphy reunited at Big Brothers Big Sisters of America's national conference in Philadelphia. Dunphy has been part of the organization for years. Both are now reflecting on their 40 years of friendship and the impact they've had on each other's lives. "What I learned from Coach Dunphy, not just as a coach but in life, and I obtained life experiences through being around this gentleman, listening to him, because it was never about basketball," Nesmith said. Dunphy added, "There's something inside him that says, I want to do this, I want to get better, I want to be the best person I can be so, yeah, maybe I had a little role, but I wouldn't ever minimize what he's done on his own." CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, Marcus Allen, said Dunphy and Nesmith's story is one of countless examples of the difference a mentor can have on the lives of young people. "Big Brothers Big Sisters is here to not create potential in kids, we are here to protect it," Allen said. As for Dunphy and Nesmith, the two may have helped each other win basketball games, but they also helped each other win at life.
