Tom Brady, the former NFL quarterback and current broadcaster, recently made headlines during a broadcast of the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game.

Brady’s comments regarding an officiating decision could have led to potential punishment, but reports indicate that the NFL has chosen not to penalize him.

In the second quarter of the game, Lions safety Brian Branch delivered a hard hit to Packers wide receiver Bo Melton, which officials deemed to be to the head and neck area of a defenseless player.

As a result, Branch was ejected from the game. Brady, however, voiced his disagreement with the penalty during the broadcast, saying, “I don’t love that call at all.

I mean, obviously, it’s a penalty, but, to me, that has to be serious intent in a game like this.”

Brady, who is also a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, is reportedly prohibited from publicly criticizing officials due to his ownership stake.

This rule extends to his work in the broadcast booth, where he is expected to avoid making public comments about referees or other teams.

Despite this, Brady’s on-air criticism of the officiating during the game raised concerns that he might face fines or other disciplinary measures from the league.

However, it appears that the NFL has decided not to take any action against Brady.

According to Front Office Sports, the league has “no issue” with Brady’s remarks and has opted not to fine or punish him.

The NFL’s response indicates that they found no problem with Brady’s comments regarding the ejection of Brian Branch for the hit on Melton.

Although Brady was previously reported to be restricted from publicly criticizing game officials or other teams in his role as a team owner, it seems that the league has allowed some flexibility in this case.

ESPN’s Seth Wickersham had earlier reported that Brady could face penalties, including fines or suspension, if he took his criticism too far in the future, but no such measures have been imposed following this incident.
