Inside Tom Brady’s Epic Roast – Laughs, Tension, and Tributes
Los Angeles, CA – In a star-studded event at The Forum in Inglewood, California, Netflix hosted an unprecedented roast dedicated to football legend Tom Brady. Titled “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” the evening promised a blend of humor, camaraderie, and a touch of tension as comedians and former teammates took the stage to pay homage to the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Comedian Jeff Ross, known as the “roast master general,” set the stage with his sharp wit and fearless humor. Ross wasted no time diving into the rich material provided by Brady’s illustrious career, poking fun at everything from his time with the New England Patriots to his recent stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jokes about Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and his former coach, Bill Belichick, filled the room with laughter, setting the tone for the night ahead.

Moments of Tension
However, amidst the laughter, there was a moment that added a touch of tension to the proceedings. One joke, in particular, about Patriots owner Robert Kraft and massages, prompted Brady to intervene. Ross’s quip referred to Kraft’s misdemeanor charge in 2019 for soliciting prostitution, an incident that gained significant media attention. As Ross made the joke, Brady leaned in and whispered, “Don’t say that (stuff) again,” in Ross’s ear. Although the moment was brief, it showcased a rare glimpse of vulnerability from the typically unflappable quarterback.
“OK, OK. He’s having fun, look at him.” – Jeff Ross
Throughout the evening, Brady’s former teammates took the stage to share their own anecdotes and tributes. Rob Gronkowski, known for his larger-than-life personality both on and off the field, brought his signature brand of humor to the roast, while Julian Edelman offered heartfelt words of admiration for his longtime friend and teammate.
“When we played together, Tom, you used to scream, ‘Laser focus! Laser focus!’ Now that’s what he screams at his plastic surgeon. Who’s laughing now Tom? Not you, because your face can’t move and you don’t have a sense of humor.” – Julian Edelman
But perhaps the most poignant moment of the night came when Kraft and Belichick shared a shot on stage, putting to rest rumors of discord between the two football icons. In a display of unity and appreciation, the duo toasted to Brady’s unparalleled career and the countless memories they shared together on the gridiron.
“For all of you out there who think about who’s responsible for the Patriots success during the time Tom and I was together – was it Tom or me – in reality the truth of the matter was it was both of us because of me.” – Bill Belichick
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that “The Greatest Roast of All Time” had been a fitting tribute to Brady’s legacy. From the raucous laughter to the heartfelt tributes, the event encapsulated the essence of Brady’s remarkable career, a journey marked by triumph, camaraderie, and the enduring bond between teammates.
As Brady embarks on the next chapter of his life as a Fox Sports analyst, he leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come. And while the jokes may have been at his expense, the love and admiration from his peers served as a reminder of the impact he’s had not just on the football world, but on the hearts of fans everywhere.
