Tom Brady delivers bad news that shakes up the NFL

Tom Brady doesn’t need to be on the field to remain a dominant figure in the NFL. From his new role as an analyst at FOX Sports and author of the newsletter 199, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is back doing what he does best—raising the bar. This time, his message isn’t aimed at a specific rival, but at the entire league. And it’s not exactly uplifting. “I’ve got bad news,” wrote Brady, referring to teams that rely more on hope than on real preparation.

For Tom Brady, hope isn’t a strategy. It’s just a starting point. “Hope means acting to reach your goals, not simply wishing they’ll come true”. He stated in his newsletter, as cited by Marca. His criticism targets franchises that, year after year, repeat optimistic speeches without backing them up with solid culture, effective leadership, and rigorous preparation.

Adjusting the formula

As teams fine-tune their rosters for the 2025/2026 season, Tom Brady is looking beyond stats. He wants to know what coaches are doing, how players are staying healthy, what kind of leadership exists in the locker room, and whether the team’s internal culture aligns with its goals. “If a team doesn’t have answers to those questions, that hope lasts about a quarter,” Brady warned.

Tom Brady on Confidence:

“If you don’t believe in yourself why do you think those guys who are looking at you are going to believe in you.”

Confidence is a choice.
So is hesitation.

Your belief sets the tone, for you and everyone around you.
