Brady Stays Involved With Religion Of Sports Amid 199 Launch

Tom Brady is launching his 199 Productions content company tomorrow, but he will "remain deeply involved in Religion of Sports," which has a "different and more specific ethos than 199 Productions' more wide-ranging projects will," according to Chad Finn of the BOSTON GLOBE. With 199 Productions, Brady "will be on camera in some of the projects, which will focus not just on sports but also wellness (likely in some sort of collaboration with his TB12 lifestyle brand), health, and entertainment." Religion of Sports CEO Ameeth Sankaran noted that Brady is a co-founder, exec producer and investor in the company, as well as an "active board member who has never missed a meeting." Sankaran said that the creation of Brady's own company "just opens up more doors and possibilities for everyone." Filmmaker Gotham Chopra and Sankaran both said that Brady is "hands-on in his role with Religion of Sports, often using anecdotes from his own experience ... to draw parallels to the victories Sankaran and Chopra are trying to achieve in their field." Meanwhile, Religion of Sports has a "few other projects in active development and production that Brady is engaged in" as an exec producer. Sankaran said that those "will be announced in the next few months, if not weeks" (BOSTON GLOBE, 3/14).
