The entire NFL finds itself being a little more careful with what they are saying around Tom Brady after what was seen last week.
Brady is currently a FOX broadcaster for the top NFL game each week. He's also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, which has sparked considerable controversy among fans who believe the Raiders have an unfair advantage. This magnified this season when Brady was allowed to be a part of production meetings with FOX, which he was not allowed to do last year.
In Monday night's Raiders-Chargers game, Brady was seen wearing a headset as he could hear the plays being called on the Las Vegas sideline. That sight only intensified fans' concern that the league is being too relaxed with Brady being a broadcaster and an owner of an NFL team.
Many believe after seeing that NFL coaches are going to be much quieter when talking to Brady in production meetings. The same could be said for Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, who has already experienced it.
Sirianni's response to having production meetings with Brady
The Philly media asked Sirianni about this in his press conference, and for the head coach, nothing is different from how he talks with reporters every day.
"Production meetings are similar to (press conferences). ...It's an interview," Sirianni said via The Athletic's Zach Berman. "So very similar. All my interactions with Tom Brady have been really positive — really, really good. Respect the heck out of him, and his view on football and what he's done. And so have nothing but respect for him and but I would say those production games, regardless of the crew, are very similar to an interaction that we have here in our building."
Ironically enough, the Eagles have never lost with Brady calling a game for them on FOX as they are 7-0. Maybe Brady is a good luck charm for the team.
It does sit in the back of Eagles fans' minds, though, what is being said in those production meetings with Sirianni and Brady. Philly has a home game in December in Week 15 against the Raiders, so that Worries fans about whether Brady will say anything to the Las Vegas coaching staff since he has seen the Eagles so much in person.

If the Raiders find a way to win a tough cross-country game like that, I don't think the media in Philadelphia will let the fact that Brady co-owns the team stop them from going after the NFL. The noise will be very, very loud in the City of Brotherly Love.
