The two-year extension keeps Brady, 42, under contract through the 2021 season. Also discussed is Brady's decision to sign with Endeavor for off-the-field matters. Also discussed is Barcelona playing exhibition games in the U.S. without star player Lionel Messi, who is bothered by a calf injury. Barca is scheduled to play Italian side Napoli in Miami and Michigan. And also touched on is a lawsuit involving baseball's Philadelphia Phillies and the firm that created its beloved mascot, the Phillie Phanatic.
