Tom Brady
Claps Back At Dave Portnoy
I’m Not Getting $75 Mil. From Saudi Arabia!!!

Tom Brady is speaking out after Dave Portnoy claimed he’s getting $75 million to “unretire” and play flag football in Saudi Arabia … asking sarcastically, “who cares about facts right?”
It all stems from a segment on “Wake Up Barstool” Monday morning … where Portnoy said Brady secured an insane bag to take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic with a bunch of former and current NFL stars.
Brady caught wind of El Presidente’s report … and asked the Barstool founder, “Are we just picking numbers out of a hat and reporting them?”
“While we’re breaking news… Elvis is doing the halftime show, and Babe Ruth is gonna sign some autographs for fans,” Brady continued. “Also I heard Dave prefers floppy pizza.”
Despite the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s clapback, Portnoy doubled down on his claim … saying “that’s the number I was told” before asking Brady to come on the show to discuss.
On “The Unnamed Show” last week, Portnoy called Brady “a money whore,” saying he’s never saying no to anything as he tries to figure out his post-playing career.
“Having said that, I don’t know that there’s anyone who would turn down that much money for one second,” Portnoy said.
The actual number Tom is being paid to partake in the event is unknown. The General Entertainment Authority — the driving force behind the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s sports ambitions — hasn’t been afraid to spend big on events … so we highly doubt Brady’s doing it pro bono.

… He’s A ‘Real Fighter’

Even though he lost to Jake Paul in 2022, Anderson Silva has nothing but praise for the guy … telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves more credit for not only what he’s done for boxing — but for his fighting skills, too.
We caught up with Spider to talk all about his upcoming bout against Tyron Woodley on the Dec. 19 card in Miami … and the combat sports legend says his main goal is to prove his respect for the sport and his opponent.
Silva was originally slated to go up against Chris Weidman … but even with the switcharoo, he’s feeling good and confident leading up to fight night.
Of course, Spider AND Woodley have fought and lost to Paul … and he said he’s watched his opponent’s bouts against the internet superstar as part of his training.
As for working with Most Valuable Promotions again, Silva said the organization is doing an “amazing job” … especially with Paul “changing the game” for fighters and fans.
While folks will be tuning in to see two champs duke it out, all eyes will also be on Paul against Silva … and even though he didn’t give a prediction on the outcome, there was a ton of praise for the Problem Child.
Silva calls out “lazy people” who criticize Paul … ’cause they’re not putting in the same amount of work he is in his craft … they’re just talking.
“The people don’t give the credit to Jake, and the people need to do that. I respect Jake. He’s a real fighter.”

The singer-songwriter was spotted in her familiar gameday box alongside bestie Selena, both seen glued to the action as Killa Trav and the squad played in primetime on Sunday night.
Swift’s a regular feature at Chiefs games … while she wasn’t in Dallas for K.C.’s Thanksgiving match against the Cowboys, she was on the edge of her seat during the Chiefs nail-biter against the Indianapolis Colts … Selena on the other hand looking seemingly confused.

While Travis is focused on leading his team to the playoffs, fans of the couple are hanging on every rumor about the couple’s wedding … even one claiming the pair bought a wedding date from another pair of lovers.
Reports surfaced last week alleging Taylor and Travis are going to marry at Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island on June 13 next year after giving a couple money to get married a different day.
However, we spoke to Ocean House, and they called BS … saying the venue doesn’t allow couples to sell wedding dates, full stop.
One challenge at a time though … Texans game first — happily ever after later!
