Tom Brady BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tom Brady has once again grabbed headlines on several fronts over the past few days. The most buzzworthy story—by a mile—was his reveal that his current dog, Junie, is actually a genetic clone of his beloved late dog, Lua. Brady disclosed that he had worked with Colossal Biosciences, a biotech firm where he is an investor, to clone Lua using a blood sample before she passed in December 2023. Social media erupted, with NFL fans and even athletes like WNBA's Sophie Cunningham weighing in on her podcast, calling it weird but not outright criticizing Brady. The move ignited discussions about the lengths the ultra-wealthy might go to preserve sentimental attachments, as well as the ethics of animal cloning. Brady responded by saying he deeply loves his animals and the cloning was made possible through non-invasive methods. This story was widely circulated, with The Spun and Sports Illustrated both remarking on the polarizing reactions and his role as an investor in the tech that made it possible.
On the business front, Tom Brady has been active in the celebrity-backed E1 electric boat racing series, which held its US debut in Miami this weekend. Brady told Front Office Sports the team owners love to talk smack, underscoring the series’ attempt to inject star power and competition into a new sport. This endeavor keeps him front and center as an athlete-turned-entrepreneur, though so far the media coverage remains more novelty than transformational.
Brady’s relationship with the NFL also continues to evolve. Mike Florio and Michael Holley of NBC Sports discussed ongoing speculation about Brady’s future with the Las Vegas Raiders, particularly his potential involvement in front-office decisions now that he’s retired from playing but remaining close to the league. Nothing concrete has been announced, but the mere suggestion of a deeper executive or ownership role fuels anticipation for what could be a significant next act in his football legacy.
Social media had a field day after a cryptic post suggested Brady might entertain coming out of retirement, leading to a new cycle of TB12 speculation. Action News Jax reported how one simple post stoked a frenzy, though there is presently no reliable evidence to suggest he’s seriously considering a return to the field.
Rounding out his media appearances, Brady has been active as NFL on Fox’s lead color commentator, recently reminiscing about his favorite moments, such as his memorable 2016 homecoming win in the Bay Area, and drawing supportive attention by welcoming Drew Brees to Fox Sports as a broadcast colleague.
Overall, the last week in Tom Brady’s world has been equal parts quirky personal drama, business maneuvering, and continuing media omnipresence—proof, as always, that even in retirement he remains a leading character in the American sports narrative.
