It seems like everyone has a newsletter these days… and that now includes Las Vegas Raiders minority owner and Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady.

Brady made the announcement in a video on his social media page that he will be launching his own personal newsletter called 199. In the video, the Fox Sports analyst says that it will feature, “sports, wellness, health, competitiveness, business, really anything else I want to talk about the entire week.”
In case you’re wondering, the name comes from where he was drafted in the 2000 NFL Draft as Brady was selected at Pick 199 by the New England Patriots in the sixth round.

On his website, Brady says that the 199 newsletter will be an “extension of my group chat with friends and family.” You would think that Tom Brady would have enough on his hands already balancing his $375 million career as Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst and his ownership of the Raiders, where it’s already been reported by Dianna Russini that he is basically running the football operations out in Las Vegas. In case you’re really curious, here is what you get when you subscribe to the Brady newsletter. (No word yet on if there’s any bonus for us being one of the first newsletter junkies to sign up.)
Tom Brady has his hand in quite a few businesses and partnerships ranging from his TB12 brand to Birmingham City in English soccer, so this will probably provide more insights into those rather than any juicy inside info about balancing the Las Vegas Raiders job with his NFL on Fox work. But if you haven’t signed up for enough newsletters, you now have the chance to have the GOAT in your e-mail inbox.
