“The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady's BBQ,” part of the annual “Netflix is also a joke fest” It was held Sunday night at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, and was broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, was the main figure being roasted. However, his former coach Bill Belichick and his New England Patriots teammates also took licks during the program.
Drew Bledsoe, Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Rodney Harrison, Willie McGinest, Matt Light and Nate Solder were among Brady's former Patriots teammates in attendance. Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the team's former head coach, Bill Belichick, were also in attendance and took to the microphone to deliver messages to the Hall of Fame quarterback who will become a first-ballot player.
While TB12 bore the brunt of the roasting, Bledsoe, Gronkowski, Edelman, and Belichick were also on the receiving end of a lot of the roasting.
