HOSTED BY CHRISTOPHER "MAD DOG" RUSSO, EXPERTS SETTLE FOOTBALL'S GREAT DEBATE IN "BRADY VS. BELICHICK: THE VERDICT"

New Series Premieres Jan. 21 at 10:00 PM ET on VICE TV and Includes Former Patriot Rob Gronkowski, Two-Time Super Bowl Champion Carl Banks, and Renowned Sports Journalists Bob Costas and Peter King

NEW YORK (Jan. 7, 2025) - Quarterback Tom Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichick led the NFL's New England Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances and six championships from 2001 to 2019, spearheading the longest dynasty in NFL history. Along the way, the question arose: who was more critical to the team's massive success, Brady or Belichick? On Tuesday, Jan. 21 (10:00-11:00 PM ET), VICE TV debuts Brady vs. Belichick: The Verdict, a three-part event hosted by Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo that finally resolves this nagging question. Episode two airs a week later, Tuesday, Jan. 28 (10:00-11:00 PM ET), building to the finale on Tuesday, Feb. 4 (10:00-11:00 PM ET), when the verdict is revealed.

Brady vs. Belichick: The Verdict presents compelling arguments from both sides of the debate. The series features arguments from witnesses to the greatness of each, including former Patriots Rob Gronkowski, Matt Cassel, Devin McCourty, Rodney Harrison, and two-time Super Bowl champion Carl Banks, plus renowned sports journalists Peter King, Bob Costas, Dan Shaughnessy, Mike Greenberg, and Michelle Beadle. Participants take a side, and each group argues its case, first for Brady, then for Belichick. In the climactic final episode, the sides converge and, along with surprise guests, weigh the evidence presented in the first two episodes before Russo delivers "The Verdict," putting to rest once and for all one of the biggest sports debates of our time.

"This is the type of authentic, compelling sports programming that only VICE can deliver," said VICE TV President, Pete Gaffney. "Our lineup of NFL stars and some of the biggest names in sports journalism will answer the debate that has been raging between fans and media for over a decade."

Added Russo: "The ultimate coach and quarterback tandem in NFL history? Halas and Luckman? Lombardi and Starr? Walsh and Montana? No doubt it's Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Two GOATs. But who was more integral to the New England Patriots' two decades of unparalleled success? That's the great unanswered question we argue, debate, and resolve on Brady vs. Belichick: The Verdict!"

In addition to Brady vs. Belichick: The Verdict, the network's VICE Sports prime-time programming slate will be anchored by the original series Pitino: Red Storm Rising and Calipari: Razor's Edge, featuring two of the most prominent and controversial coaches in college basketball, St. John's University's Rick Pitino and University of Arkansas' John Calipari. VICE TV will also air four original series from VICE Studios: Dark Side of the Cage, The Grudge, Sports Gone Wrong, and the highly anticipated sixth season of VICE TV's signature franchise, Dark Side of the Ring.

Brady vs. Belichick: The Verdict is executive produced by The WorkShop Content Studios.
