Tom Brady took his share of barbs from comedians, former teammates and his longtime coach during a made-for-streaming comedy live event on Netflix — but one joke seemed to anger him.
Three months before Tom Brady gets roasted by critics as Fox Sports’ top NFL analyst, he took his share of barbs from comedians, former teammates and his longtime coach Sunday night during a made-for-streaming comedy live event on Netflix.
And it’s safe to say after the one liners and jokes Brady heard during three hours of « The Greatest Roast of All Time » at The Forum, he’ll do just fine.
« It’s like a football game. You run with a game plan, and then you get to see kind of how the strategy goes, and then you adjust on the fly, » Brady said before the event. « This is what a locker room has been like for me for all these years. So it’s not like I’m used to people not making fun of me. »
Comedian Nikki Glaser, whose monologue was among the funniest of the night, depicted the roast as « the comedians’ Super Bowl » due to the competition level being ramped up because everyone wanted to one-up each other.
Brady sustained more blitzes and pressure than he did during an average NFL game as an impressive lineup of comedians, former teammates and opponents took the stage . Host Kevin Hart said before the event that no topic was off limits, and Hart went on the offensive early with jokes about Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
« Gisele gave you an ultimatum. She said you retire or we’re done. When you got a chance to go 8-9 and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do, » Hart said, referring to Brady coming out of a brief retirement in 2022 for one more season.Brady apparently objects to joke about Robert Kraft
The only time Brady objected to a joke was when Jeff Ross made a reference to Patriots owner Robert Kraft and massages.
