After 40 days of retirement this season, Tom Brady 45 years old should try a little bit to get the training camp job with his attack line and receptive corps, right? Wrong. He was significantly absent. He’s doing something and I don’t think it’s time for Gisele and the kids.
What if the star quartet was absent this time because he was filming “The Masked Singer,” which aired on the same network, FOX, which earned him a major long-running broadcast contract. 10 years, worth $375 million when Brady finally retired? (He has to retire at some point, right?) That’s the theory floating on Reddit by user CANN0NFIRE and above Twitter by fantasy football analyst Kendall Valenzuela.
The Mystery Singing Contest is in production for its eighth season, which premieres September 21. In the past, numerous athletes have appeared on the show including a pair of former Brady Bay Tampa teammates, Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown. Other athletes like Barry Zito, Jordan Mailata, Chloe Kim and Dwight Howard sang for a nationwide audience in larger-than-life bodysuits.
“So when I see [Adam Schefter] reported earlier this evening that Todd Bowles didn’t have a specific timeline on when Brady would return to camp, I joked with a friend that Brady was probably just about to be Masked Singer or something,” CANN0NFIRE, who also posted about the theory on Twitter, wrote in his post. “The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.”

As unlikely as this might seem, Brady is the biggest name in the NFL, and FOX has an interest in propping him up. What’s a little more money for one 90-second version of “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow? I doubt the Bucs would allow their most important player to be off for that long. But really, how long is one flight to Los Angeles, one performance because Brady’s voice would eliminate himself from contention of winning the show, and a flight back to Tampa?
I’ve watched every episode of the show. Seeing Brady in a pumpkin or rat costume would be hysterical. The theory makes sense but I can’t see it actually happening. He wouldn’t be missing from camp for this long unless somehow, he’s been hiding a Garth Brooks-sounding drawl for all these years. And there’s no chance of that.
