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.

“It’s Like a Football Game, But Funnier (Hopefully)”
Brady compared the roast to a football game, where you need to adjust your strategy on the fly. He says he has some jokes prepared to fire back, but only if the roasts get too brutal.

No Achilles Heel, Just a Whole Bunch of Embarrassing Moments
When asked if there’s anything he’s particularly worried about, Brady admitted there’s “so much material” for the roasters to use. He’s basically resigned himself to being the target of jokes about his entire career (and maybe even his Uggs collection?).

Hey, At Least He Can Take a Hit (Verbally This Time)
Brady says the locker room has always been full of playful jabs, so he’s used to being teased. Let’s hope his sense of humor can withstand the barrage of jokes coming his way!
From the Gridiron to the Spotlight: Brady’s New Playing Field
While Brady might be trading shoulder pads for punchlines, he seems to be taking it all in stride. He even called being roasted at The Forum an “honor,” which shows he’s got a good attitude about the whole thing.
Will Brady Survive the Roast? Tune in to Netflix on Sunday to Find Out!
We can’t wait to see how Brady handles the heat (or should we say jokes) in the roast. Will he laugh it off, or will he throw some virtual interceptions (with words)? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a hilarious night!
