Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady is closing in on the start of the NFL playoffs with one of the most viral broadcasting clips of the 2025 season.
However, the Fox Sports commentator will have to ward off ongoing social media buzz regarding his unfiltered description of Josh Allen during the Week 17 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While analyzing a potential goal-line strategy at Highmark Stadium, Brady suggested the Bills use their physical quarterback to execute a sneak:
"You imagine that play with [Reggie] Gilliam kind of, you know, giving him the shove and letting your big 250-pound, big booty quarterback try to sneak his way in there," Brady said on the broadcast.
“Let your big 250 pound big booty quarterback sneak it in.” - Tom Brady on Josh Allen 😂😂

With his ownership stake essentially set in stone after months of league deliberation, seven-time Super Bowl champion is counting down the days until his first postseason as both an executive and a lead analyst. The former quarterback secured his 5% interest in the Raiders alongside partner Tom Wagner at a $3.5 billion valuation, a figure that appears to be a massive bargain given the franchise's current $7.7 billion estimation. But Brady will have to keep a watchful eye in the 11th hour of the season on how his color commentary resonates with the league office.
The remark went viral immediately, with media outlets like Country Chord captioning the clip:
“Tom Brady has a crush on Josh Allen and he doesn’t care who knows,” Country Chord captioned.
The comment sparked a firestorm of mixed reactions:
“I was like “wait....what.... bro said what??’” a fan commented.
“TB12 should be removed from TV,” one reacted.
“Hes right hahha,” another commented.
“Yet again Josh Allen loses a game that Brady is a part of,” one commented.
With their AFC East title hopes essentially down the drain following the narrow 13-12 loss, the Buffalo Bills are counting down the days until the Wild Card round.
Brady’s Raiders close in on No. 1 overall pick

The Raiders are closing in on the end of the 2025 season with the keys to the top draft selection firmly in their grasp. However, the Raiders will have to endure one final week of play before they can officially turn the page on a disastrous 2-14 campaign. Following Sunday's defeat, the Raiders are counting down the days until the offseason so minority owner Tom Brady can begin a total reconstruction of the roster.
The Giants controlled the contest from the start behind rookie QB Jaxson Dart, handing the Raiders their tenth consecutive loss. But the story of the game unfolded before kickoff when the team placed stars Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers on injured reserve.
Crosby reportedly disputed the decision by posting footage of himself playing basketball, fueling speculation that the organization was prioritizing draft positioning over competitive integrity.
Head coach Pete Carroll described the situation as a mess but defended the medical decisions despite the uproar. The Las Vegas struggled significantly on the field, losing QB Geno Smith to injury and failing to respond to a 95-yard kickoff return by New York's Deonte Banks. Now, the Raiders seem pretty set on finding a new quarterback in the 2026 draft, with names like Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore likely topping their board.
Brady is expected to wield significant influence this spring as the franchise looks to reset its culture. The focus has now shifted entirely to the future, as the Raiders prepare to leverage the top pick to finally solve their quarterback instability.
