Tom Brady, Michael Strahan team up for documentary

Call it the unholy alliance: one-time Super Bowl rivals Tom Brady and Michael Strahan are teaming up to produce a six-part documentary TV series called the “Religion of Sports.”

Each hour-long episode looks at different examples of the cultural and spiritual impact of sports in religions around the world.

The show explores the rivalry between soccer clubs in Glasgow, Scotland; the Calgary Stampede rodeo in Alberta, Canada; and the rise of “e-sports.” It also delves into NASCAR, mixed martial arts and minor league baseball.

The Associated Press caught up with Brady, Strahan and Gotham Chopra – the creator, director and voice – of the series that airs beginning Nov. 15 on the Audience Network on DirecTV and AT&T U-verse.

Brady is a quarterback for the New England Patriots. Strahan is a retired New York Giants defensive end, who is joining ABC’s “Good Morning America” this fall. Chopra is the son of spiritual guru Deepak Chopra.
