Bomani Jones drags Tom Brady's $30,000,000 FTX scandal to spotlight amid dog cloning controversy

Tom Brady recently broke the internet by revealing that his dog, Junie, is a clone of his late dog, Lua. The news has elicited a wide range of reactions, with some supporting and others questioning it.

Speaking on his YouTube Show, Sports writer Bomani Jones asked former NFL cornerback Domonique Foxworth about the dog cloning controversy. After getting a response from Foxworth, Jones chipped in by saying,

"Tom Brady is up for shady futuristic endeavors, right? Fortune favors the Brave. Was that him? Was he in the FTX world?"

Jones' words are a reminder of the 2023 FTX stock scandal. According to Yahoo Sports, Brady served as an ambassador for FTX and prominently appeared in commercials for the company. He earned $30 million (mostly in stocks) from FTX.

However, the company subsequently went bankrupt, and as a result, Brady's stocks became worthless.

Tom Brady not picking sides for Patriots vs. Buccaneers Week 10 game

These days, Tom Brady works as a commentator for Fox Sports. The seven-time Super Bowl champion played for two franchises in his 23-year NFL career, and both teams are facing off in Week 10.

Brady spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots and three with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the future Hall of Famer has opted not to pick sides in the matchup.

When asked about the Week 10 showdown, Brady said,

"This team does not always get mentioned in the same breath as the (Philadelphia) Eagles, the (Kansas City) Chiefs and the (Buffalo) Bills. But they should. The (Tampa Bay) Bucs, coming off their bye week at No. 3, setting up a huge showdown with the (New England) Pats in Tampa."

He added,

"We've got two teams who might feel like they have something to prove. Yeah, I like that. And that usually results in a great football game. Game of the year alert? I think so. Just don't ask me to pick any sides here."

Brady's successor in Tampa Bay is Baker Mayfield. Mayfield has been superb this season, earning MVP shouts due to his ability to lead the franchise to wins despite the absence of numerous key offensive weapons.

On the other side, the New England Patriots seem to have finally found a replacement for Tom Brady. North Carolina product Drake Maye is enjoying a phenomenal season under head coach Mike Vrabel, and he's led the Patriots to six consecutive wins entering Week 10. Sunday's "Brady Bowl" has the potential to be a game of the season contender.
