Tom Brady’s preparing to take one for the team – but this time, it’s on the comedy field! The legendary quarterback is about to get roasted on Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” and let’s just say, he’s feeling a little nervous.
Did Brady Jump the Gun on Retirement?
In a recent interview, Brady admitted he might have “flexed too early” by announcing his retirement (and then unretirement). This, according to Brady, has given his roasters plenty of juicy material to work with.
The Lineup From Heck
The list of roasters reads like a who’s who of comedy and sports, including Jeff Ross, Rob Gronkowski, and even some of Brady’s former teammates like Julian Edelman and Randy Moss. Ouch!
Belichick’s Secret Weapon? Roasting Skills!
Apparently, Brady’s not just worried about the comedians. He says his former coach Bill Belichick has been supplying the writers with “good ammo.” Knowing Belichick, that ammo is likely a combination of game film and embarrassing anecdotes.
