Pickle! Covino & Rich discuss Tom Brady’s pickle when it was reported by Adam Schefter that many NFL owners are uncomfortable with NFL Analyst Tom Brady possibly being a dual owner & broadcaster in the near future.   

Rich Davis: If Tom Brady were to be on television every week with FOX & be a partial owner of the Raiders, he's going to be forced to abide by a unique & severe list of restrictions and that I don't know how this could even work? He's not permitted to witness a practice which we’re all used to hearing Chris Collinsworth or Al Michaels or someone dropping a little fun factor nugget, that'll be gone. They may try to accommodate Brady in some way, but are you one of those sticklers for the rules where you like if it's Tom Brady, who cares? Or are you on the team of “Listen, he's a seven time Super Bowl winner. It's Tom Brady.”
Steve Covino: “How is that possible? This is setting him up at a major disadvantage as a broadcaster. These are all important little Nuggets that are broadcaster uses to their advantage in a major broadcast. I feel like there is a bit of a conflict of interest here. No one person's bigger than the game. Is he above the law here just because he's Tom Brady? Steven Seagal's above the law, Steven Seagal style. It's an interesting pickle to be in. I guess this is what you would call good problems. Sorry if you thought Tom Brady's pickle was going to be a different conversation, but this is the actual pickle, sorry.”
