Tom Brady has done it all in the NFL. The greatest player in the sport’s existence, his peak is unmatched, and his accomplishments, unparalleled. However, over the years, he’s also been the target of a number of jokes, both for his professional career and his personal life.
Those jokes were never more front and center than when Netflix hosted a roast party, directly titled, “The Roast of Tom Brady”, in honor of the legend. Comedians, former teammates and coaches, and the man himself all took to the podium to have a good time. However, Brady has now come forward with the singular regret he has from the entire ordeal.
Tom Brady Did Not Anticipate One Outcome From the Roast
The Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix went for nearly 90 minutes, with comedians like Kevin Hart and Tony Hinchcliffe cracking jokes at the GOAT’s expense. Further, former teammates like Rob Gronkowski, Drew Bledsoe, and Julian Edelman also joined the fray.
The cream of the crop was the usually reserved Bill Belichick, also joining the party. However, during a recent appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with YouTuber and WWE superstar Logan Paul, Brady revealed the one thing he did not like about the event.
With the incomparable success he’s had in his life, the seven-time Super Bowl Champion was self-assured enough not to mind jokes at his expense. “I love laughing at myself. It felt like I was in a locker room, and the harder people go at me, I actually love it.”
So, he didn’t mind the jokes on a personal level. “If people make fun of you, then I know that I’m good with them.” But it wasn’t as simple for his family, in particular, his kids. “I regret that my kids had to – It’s tough on my kids for sure, cause I don’t think they’re at an age.
“I do understand, for my kids, that was really hard. It was a big hit, yeah.” Even though he loved the performances and described it as being “on cloud nine”, the next day isn’t one he wants to relive.
“I’ll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day. I felt like a stake through the heart. They’re protective of their mom, of their dad.” Of course, during the roast, many jokes were made at the expense of his marriage and subsequent divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
