Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is looking for some ways to keep busy now that he is retired.
He has a deal to become a commentator during Fox Sports’ broadcasts of NFL games, although he has said he doesn’t want to start that role until the 2024 season in order to make sure he is sufficiently prepared.
In the meantime, Brady has branched out into a different sport.
He has reportedly become part-owner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, who are the reigning league champions.

Some fans on Twitter joked that this is not the first team he has owned, referring to some of his legendary performances over the years.
So now he owns 2 teams, the Aces and the NY Jets.

The majority owner of the Aces is Mark Davis, who also owns the Las Vegas Raiders, which has some wondering if Brady is going to eventually return to playing in the NFL for the Raiders.
Brady to the raiders. Jimmy G as back up once again. History always repeats itself

Brady is widely considered the greatest player in NFL history, and his resume, which includes seven Super Bowl championships, three regular season MVPs and five Super Bowl MVPs, is second to none.
But retirement is a difficult thing for ex-athletes to adjust to, not necessarily because they miss the game, but because they miss the competition, the adulation from fans, the camaraderie with their teammates and the adrenaline rush that comes with performing on the field .
Of course, Brady announced his retirement last year, but he unretired just a few weeks later and played one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That final season was very poor by his standards, and it resulted in a look that no one was used to seeing from him: frustration.
Unlike some other greats, Brady didn’t try to hang on too long.
