It seems like everyone has a newsletter these days, and now Las Vegas Raiders minority owner and Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady joins the trend. He made this announcement in a video on his social media page, revealing that he will launch a personal newsletter titled 199. In the video, Brady shares that it will cover a variety of topics: “sports, wellness, health, competitiveness, business, really anything else I want to talk about the entire week.”

In case you’re curious, the name 199 refers to the 2000 NFL Draft, where Brady was selected as Pick 199 by the New England Patriots in the sixth round. He tweeted, “I’ll be writing 199 weekly. Sign up now at https://t.co/fpOJrxvPVN. I promise we’ll have some fun with this one!” January 31, 2025

On his website, Brady describes the 199 newsletter as an “extension of my group chat with friends and family.” You might think that he already has enough on his plate balancing his $375 million career as Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst and his ownership of the Raiders, which, according to Dianna Russini, involves him effectively running the football operations in Las Vegas. If you’re wondering what you get when you subscribe to the Brady newsletter, details are still under wraps, and there’s no word yet on any perks for being an early subscriber.
Brady is involved in various business ventures from his TB12 brand to his stake in Birmingham City in English soccer. His newsletter is likely to provide insights into these interests rather than sharing any insider information about managing the Raiders alongside his broadcasting role at Fox. If you’re still on the lookout for more newsletters, you can now add the GOAT to your e-mail inbox.
