NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber Leo Tolstoy once wrote, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” That’s an apt summation of the New England Patriots during their championship run in the first two decades of this century. There were six Super Bowl wins, but everyone — particularly quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick — seemed to be on an endless deployment aboard the Hms Misery. Proud of their accomplishments? Absolutely. Enjoyed the ride? Not so much. Eventually, Brady jumped ship for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Apple TV+’s docuseries “Dynasty” has devoted 10 episodes to the Patriots of quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft. The series is a fascinating if overlong examination — an episode on temporary Qb Matt Cassel feels like a preseason telecast — of the formidable business question: If an organization is questing for eternal excellence, does that mean...

The Super Bowl ad roster is usually filled with commercials for beer, candy and snacks. There will also be at least one focused on something more serious.
The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, an advocacy group backed by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, will run a 30-second spot during CBS’ February 11 broadcast of Super Bowl Lviii, ensuring that a serious note will sound amid many silly ones.
Kraft’s group launched its efforts in 2023, committing at least $200 million to fight hatred against Jews in the U.S. The group says 3,291 antisemitic incidents were reported in the U.S. in the last three months alone, marking an increase of almost 400%. The commercial will call upon viewers of all backgrounds to stand up against prejudice and hate against Jews.
“With the horrific rise in Jewish hate and all hate across our nation, we must stand up and take urgent
action now,” said Kraft,...

The case now has a trial date, and if the plaintiffs are successful in the case it could lead to huge changes in how audiences watch NFL games.
Lawsuits are nothing new for the NFL. An entity as huge and worth as much money as the NFL is bound to attract attention, and to be sure it has earned legal scrutiny at times. The league has been facing a class-action lawsuit for the past nine years regarding its pricing and distribution of games on NFL Sunday Ticket, and depending on the outcome of the suit the NFL broadcasting landscape could undergo huge changes in the next few years.
The suit, representing more than 2 million individuals, as well as nearly 50,000 bars and restaurants is headed to trial on Feb. 22. NFL figures like Roger Goodell, Robert Kraft, and Jerry Jones are being called to testify. If plaintiffs are successful, NFL teams could...

One of the most successful coaches in American pro sports history is parting ways with the team he led to a half-dozen championships. Bill Belichick said during a news conference today that he is leaving the New England Patriots after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl wins in nine appearances.
“It’s with so many fond memories and thoughts that I think about the Patriots, and I’ll always be a Patriot,” he said at the presser. “I look forward to coming back here, but at this time, we’re gonna move on. And I’m excited for the future.”
ESPN reported that a deal with team owner Robert Kraft allowed Belichick to exit with a year remaining on his contract. Coming off a 4-13 season, its second consecutive losing record, the franchise now begins its first hunt for a head coach since the Clinton administration.

Prime Video series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” has unveiled first look images.
The series is a reimagining of the 2005 film starring Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie as Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, respectively. In this iteration, Donald Glover (“The Martian”) stars as John Smith, while Maya Erskine (“PEN15”) stars as Jane Smith.
This new version features John and Jane both landing jobs working for an international spy agency where they must pose as spouses Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith. As they navigate a new mission each week, they find themselves falling in love with one another, complicating — and compromising — their “strictly business” relationship. Notably, this version features an intentional sham marriage between two strangers, as compared to the 2005 original, in which Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith were married without being aware of each other’s identity as an assassin.
Glover serves as co-creator and executive producer, along with Francesca Sloane...

Mitt Romney’s new book Romney: A Reckoning, written by McKay Coppins, shares the politician’s blunt assessments of his fellow Republicans.
Romney recounts an interaction he and former president Donald Trump shared at a New England Patriots game. The two were guests of the owner Robert Kraft.
Coppins writes, “Trump sidled up to Romney’s son Josh and pointed at a leggy brunette across the room. ‘Have you seen my girlfriend, Melania?’ he asked, smirking. ‘When I drop her, the phone is gonna ring off the hook. Every guy in New York wants to go out with her.’”
Romney and Trump have a social history since the mid-1990s.
The Washington Post had previously written, “In the 1990s, Romney began cultivating influential people who might become key supporters of a political campaign. Two months after his failed 1994 campaign for the Senate seat held by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts...

Tom Brady started his first season as a retired football player in perhaps an obvious place - a football game. Tom brought his three kids - Jack, 16, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10 - with him to the New England Patriots game on Sunday, Sept. 10, where the franchise honored him during halftime. Tom was the team's quarterback from 2000 to 2019, ultimately winning the Super Bowl six times. He eventually left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won a final Super Bowl in 2020 before finally retiring at the end of the last season. All three of Tom's kids - wearing his jersey - smiled alongside his dad as he was honored by the team and its owner, Robert Kraft.
"Nobody 23 years ago would imagine that this journey would bring us here today," Tom said during the ceremony, according to NBC Boston.
"All our lives take us on different journeys. They take us to different places.

Sir Elton John has reportedly increased his private gig fee amid the cost-of-living crisis, with the ‘Rocket Man’ singer believed to now be pocketing 4 million pounds for an intimate performance. John’s private gig fee has been reported – marking a 300 per cent fee increase for the star, reports mirror.co.uk.
The iconic singer is believed to be worth around 450 million pounds thanks to a career that has seen him top the album charts 10 times and bagged 10 No1 singles, reports mirror.co.uk.
Elton, 75, has previously been raking in an eye-watering 1 million pound for every hour of his time for a private performance.
But during the current cost of living crisis, the performer has been said to have added on an extra 3 million pounds for a wedding booking – and was understandably turned down by the spouses-to-be.

Fallout from the bankrupt crypto exchange Ftx is impacting Hollywood.
Not only have the tens of millions of dollars Ftx spent on advertising gone up in smoke (don’t expect this year’s Super Bowl to have the crypto enthusiasm that swept last year’s broadcast), but a new bankruptcy filing shows that a bevy of high-profile people and companies are likely to lose millions in the bankruptcy proceedings.
Among those of interest to Hollywood is Endeavor, the owner of UFC and WME, which owned more than 38,000 shares in Ftx through its Img subsidiary, according to a list of Ftx equity holders filed in the bankruptcy proceedings. The shares, which were Series B Preferred shares, suggest that Img invested in Ftx during its 2021 fundraising round which valued the company at 18 billion.

When a topic gets the Oliver Stone treatment, it typically means that it's a controversial subject getting a cinematic deep dive into its origins. He's seemingly left no stone unturned, exploring topics like 1980s greed ("Wall Street"), the Vietnam War ("Born on the Fourth of July" and "Platoon"), the Kennedy assassination ("JFK"), and illegal surveillance ("Snowden").
For two decades, the director had professional football on his radar, dating back to an early 1980s project titled "The Linebacker," which would have starred Charles Bronson. In 1999, Stone's vision of the NFL finally came to fruition with "Any Given Sunday." By then, the game had changed exponentially from the time Charles Bronson was an A-lister in Hollywood. Player side hustles were replaced by multi-million-dollar advertising deals. The allure of "Monday Night Football" was supplanted by around-the-clock coverage on cable and SportsCenter highlights almost on the hour. What did that exposure mean for the modern athlete?...

Antonio Brown has been taking childish hits at his former NFL teammate Tom Brady.
The athlete, who’s been out of the NFL since he infamously removed his uniform mid-game and exited the field back in January, has taken to social media in recent weeks to share doctored photos of himself and Brady.
Brown’s immature attacks have risen amid Brady’s reported marital problems with wife, Gisele Bündchen. According to the New York Post , Brady recently hired high-profile divorce attorney Tom Sasser.
On Sunday, Brown shared two photoshopped images related to his former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots teammate. In the first photo, Brown is seen smiling as his face is superimposed onto Brady’s body while he was embraced by Bündchen back when he still played for the Patriots.
The second edited image derived from Brown’s mid-game departure from the Buccaneers, however his face was swapped with Brady’s.

But it isn’t blind ambition that has pushed Allen to acquire 27 ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox network affiliate broadcast stations, 12 24-hour HD television networks, The Weather Channel, Black News Channel (which he folded into network and website The Grio), digital network HBCUGo and a number of online destinations. His professional conquests have always aligned with his personal goal of promoting racial equality. To enact change, you have to be at the top of the food chain.

The re-election campaign for pseudo-Democrat Joe Manchin (D-w.Va.) is garnering the support of moneybag conservatives like Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone and New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft. In the last three months, the West Virginia senator — who has repeatedly opposed Democrats’ push for top party initiatives, including climate change funding and universal paid parental leave — raised 1 million after meeting with the billionaire Donald Trump sycophants and far-right donors, according to a report from CNBC.

Tom Brady and Donald Trump have not spoken in “a lot of years,” the NFL legend told Variety as part of his cover story. The two’s friendship became the subject of intense media scrutiny after a 2015 photograph went viral for showing a “Make America Great Again” hat in Brady’s football locker. Prior to the photo, Brady and Trump golfed together on several occasions.
“This was 17 or 18 years ago,” Brady told Variety about playing golf with Trump. “I was so young. I got to go to a private golf course. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.”
When asked if the two are still in touch, Brady responded, “No. I haven’t talked to him in a lot of years.”
“I think [the press] just mischaracterized a lot,” the athlete added about the two appearing to be close friends. “And my personality isn’t ever one to insult anybody.

Schefter’s email came to light after emails from the NFL’s investigation into the Washington Football Team’s culture emerged. The emails were part of an estimated 650,000 uncovered during the investigation, but only a handful were released to media.

ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter is known for his insider information and scooping the competition. But a Bloomberg report today raised questions on whether his recent investment in a gambling app would compromise his journalism.
Schefter, along with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and others, recently invested in Boom Entertainment, a creator of sports and casino gambling apps, including NBC Sports Predictor.
Bloomberg raised the question on whether a journalist who relies on inside connections can be counted on to potentially undermine his own financial position with his reporting.
“Viewers, and Schefter’s 8.5 million Twitter followers, might end up wondering whether he will shade his opinions or bury important information if he directly or indirectly has money riding on games and athletes,” the Bloomberg story said.
It also wondered aloud whether his association with Kraft will shade his New England Patriots coverage.

The Rolling Stones aren’t launching the 2021 leg of their No Filter tour until Sunday night at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri, but a tiny crowd of invited guests got to see them play a 14-song warmup show Monday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The private event was organized by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
The show was the unofficial debut of touring drummer Steve Jordan, and their first gig without Charlie Watts since he joined the band in January 1963. “It’s...

Barry Diller is all for President Joe Biden’s efforts to rein in some of the more aggressive business tactics favored by Big Tech giants.
As the sun rose on day three of the annual Allen & Co. moguls gathering here in the Idaho mountain resort, Diller, the veteran executive who has long straddled the world of content and digital with his Iac Corp. holding company, gave a thumbs-up to Biden’s just-announced executive order. The move takes aim at Big Tech and Big Pharma on restrictive contracts and employment terms that the administration says raise prices and hurt employees.
Speaking about the Big Tech angle, Diller alluded to the dominance of the Faang giants — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google and Netflix — who are steadily carving out their turf to dominate in digital content production and distribution, advertising, financial technology and cultural conversations and trends as amplified by the megaphone of social media.

After the $100 billion-plus rights deals were announced Thursday by the NFL, Wall Street analysts agreed that the league was the big winner. Still, they do see some rights holders being able to score despite the hefty price.
Disney in particular gained attention for paying the lowest increase from the previous deal to the new one and also for securing exclusive streaming and Super Bowl rights. Monday Night Football will also be able to “flex” more desirable games into its schedule, unlike in the past.
While the scenario of ESPN leaving the traditional ecosystem for streaming has been floated for a while – and the company insists it is premature – the new deal could provide a foundation for it. The NFL deals stretch out through 2033, meaning there will be a continuing evolution of consumer behavior and industry dynamics. No radical shifts are expected with ESPN right away, but the consensus view from...

CBS, NBC and Fox have all had issues with “Thursday Night Football.” Amazon sees possibilities.
The e-commerce and streaming giant believes a new deal with the NFL that gives it sole control over the league’s Thursday-night franchise lends it an opportunity to create new viewing experiences for streamers and chances to work more expansively with advertisers. In the past, Amazon has streamed Thursday games using the feed of the broadcast network producing the telecast, and has only been able to offer a limited amount of commercial inventory around each event.
“We have already devoted a lot of time to thinking about how to use new technologies to drive viewing experiences,” says Marie Donoghue, Amazon’s vice president of global sports video, in an interview. “We think this will be a great opportunity to continue to do that. The opportunities are endless with this relationship.”

The NFL season ended weeks ago, but some of the media’s biggest players have been scrambling to keep professional football in the spotlight.
Under a series of critically important rights deals unveiled Thursday between the National Football League and some of the nation’s biggest media companies, “Thursday Night Football” will no longer be shown on broadcast TV and Walt Disney’s ABC will air the Super Bowl for the first time in more than 15 years. The moves come after the NFL cemented new pacts that will keep the bulk of its games under the purview of traditional media outlets through 2033, even as it expanded its reach into the new ways its fans are experiencing the game, including streaming video and gaming.
Fox, which had previously aired “Thursday,” will keep its Sunday-afternoon games, as will CBS. NBC will stick with “Sunday Night Football’ and Disney’s ESPN will extend...
