Tom Brady is producing a TV show with Michael Strahan
The documentary series will examine the cultural and spiritual impact of sports.
Tom Brady is getting into the television business with a former NFL great who knows his way around a studio.Brady and former New York Giants defensive end (and current Good Morning America host) Michael Strahan are executive producing Religion of Sports, a six-episode documentary series examining the cultural and spiritual impact of sports around the word.“I’ll never forget watching ‘The Catch’ in Candlestick Park with my dad,” Brady said Wednesday in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. “I was 4 years old, in awe of it all. In a lot of ways, I’ve dedicated my life to replicating that feeling.” “Now, playing on the same stage as my childhood idols, I’m fortunate to have a pretty unique perspective on football and the sports world,” Brady continued in the statement. “I can think of no better vehicle than Religion of Sports to share some of what I’ve learned and dig a little deeper into that feeling, the sort of spiritual experience that sports creates for players and fans alike.”The hourlong show will debut November 15 at 8 p.m. on the Audience network, which is available to DirecTV and AT&T Uverse subscribers.No word on whether Brady or Strahan will appear on the show, but if they do, let’s hope it’s not only for an episode about Super Bowl XLII and “The Helmet Catch.”
