  • Brady could earn US$25 million from commentating on NFL, but reports suggest he has already turned down offers from Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America
  • Gisele Bündchen’s 44-year-old husband is focusing on his health care, TV production and apparel companies in part two of his career – was the latter predicted by The Simpsons?

Tom Brady announced his retirement from American football earlier this month, citing that he needed to focus on the needs of his family and later telling an interviewer that “it pains [wife Gisele] to see me get hit out there”.

So how will the star – who earned US$450 million in his career – make his money now?

Retirement … but make it fashion

Just days after calling it quits, the sportsman posted on Twitter that “chapter two” would mean focusing on his apparel venture, named BradyBrand. His wife Gisele Bündchen may be the model but Brady has been pictured posing in comfortable sweatpants from the brand since announcing his retirement, making everyone agree that chilling at home has never looked so good.

It comes 12 years after The Simpsons kind of predicted that the NFL star would one day have a clothing brand in his name.

Tom Brady does comedy?

Brady has indicated he’s spending time creating shows for his company, 199 Productions (he was the 199th pick in the NFL draft but defied expectations to become a record seven-time Super Bowl winner).

A recent comment on the Instagram Story of comedian Jeff Ross indicated that the GOAT (greatest of all time) could be producing a comedy roast programme. He used the hashtag #GROATS and is trying to work out a deal with a streaming company, according to reports.
