He made an appearance in a Valuetainment event, hosted by business phenom Patrick Bet-David. During this appearance, Bet-David asks Brady to look toward the crowd and not at the main screen. As he makes this request, the crew brings a huge board with a veil on. The entrepreneur urges Brady to “look away” as the legendary NFL player can’t control his curiosity and watches the arrival of the board.
Then he says, “I want to see the audience react first”, making Brady look away from the board. Then he asks the crew to take the veil off. As the veil is removed, the crowd gasps at the sight of a huge painting honoring Brady’s career. When he turns back, an overwhelmed Brady reacts by saying, “Aw, man!”.
Then the business mogul explains that the left side of the picture is about his family, his rings, his on-field iconic moments, and his natal family, among some features. Then he directs his attention to the middle.
Pointing to a picture, the entrepreneur then states, “We have this Mount Rushmore, with yourself, Michael, Tiger Woods, Messi”. As per the investor, both sides of the painting signify each half of Brady’s life. The left side with the New England Patriots and the right side with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Reacting to this, the former NFL QB says, ”Unbelievable”. This comes hours after he had made his much-anticipated Fox News debut.
