Tom Brady Has Bet With “Jeopardy” Champ James Holzhauer

For the second straight season, Tom Brady isn’t attending OTAs with the Patriots. So what is the 41-year-old quarterback doing instead of playing football? He’s playing around on Twitter.

In addition to tweeting about millennials and the Kentucky Derby, Brady has used his account to place a bet with James Holzhauer, the Las Vegas gambler who is in the midst of an epic winning streak on Jeopardy. 

On Monday, Brady — who claims he’s never eaten a strawberry and has “no desire” to do so — said he’d eat one of the forbidden fruits on Instagram if Holzhauer lost.

He didn’t, so Brady was off the hook.

James doesn’t lose and I don’t eat strawberries… keep it moving.

Then Holzhauer got in on the conversation.

Predictably, the 34-year-old won once again on Tuesday, pushing his win streak to 24 games and bringing his total winnings to $1,867,142.

But the Brady chatter didn’t end there.

“I’ll just refresh @TomBrady’s Twitter to see if he’s talking about me” is a completely normal and healthy thing to say.

Brady has yet to make a second wager with regard to Holzhauer, but if the win streak continues to captivate America, it’s a good bet that he will.
