Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan may reportedly be banned from a pair of marquee NFL games by their employers at Fox Sports.

The 47-year-old Tom Brady began his 10-year, $375 million broadcast deal with Fox Sports last season, working on the network’s top team with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt. Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan co-host “Fox NFL Sunday” with Howie Long, Curt Menefee, Jay Glazer and Rob Gronkowski.

This year, Netflix will broadcast two of the three 2025 NFL Christmas Day games: the Dallas Cowboys at the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions at the Minnesota Vikings.

It remains to be seen who the announcers will be for those games. But according to Michael McCarthy and Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, both Fox and ESPN aren’t interested in loaning their top talents to the streaming giant for the Dec. 25 contests:

“Some rival networks are bristling at the idea of lending their on-air talents to the streaming behemoth for this year’s holiday double-header, sources tell Front Office Sports.

When the Commanders face the Cowboys and the Vikings play the Lions on Christmas Day, ESPN talent won’t appear on the Netflix presentation of the games, sources said. Fox talent is not expected to appear, either.”

If true, that would mean banning the likes of Tom Brady, Kevin Burkhardt, Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from working the Christmas Day games for Netflix.

For the Pittsburgh Steelers-Kansas City Chiefs Christmas game last year, CBS Sports loaned Ian Eagle, Nate Burleson and JJ Watt to Netflix. Ian’s son, NBC commentator Noah Eagle, called the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game with Fox analyst Greg Olsen.

As expected, Tom Brady endured some growing pains in his first year as a Fox Sports commentator, but the seven-time Super Bowl champion got much better as the season progressed.

With a full year of broadcasting experience under his belt, year two in the booth should run a lot smoother for TB12.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
