‘I wouldn’t do that again’: Tom Brady weighs in on ‘bittersweet’ Netflix roast

Nine days after the wildly popular Tom Brady roast aired live on Netflix, the former Patriots quarterback weighed in on his decision to participate in the comedy special.

During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Brady told ex-NFLers Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark, and Channing Crowder that the way the special affected his kids meant that if asked, he “wouldn’t do that again.”

“I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun,” Brady said. “I didn’t like the way that it affected my kids.”

Brady said that he agreed to the roast because he found himself watching comedy specials while stuck indoors during the pandemic, and that he had struck up a relationship with “RoastMaster General” Jeff Ross.
