On Sunday night, Netflix gave us the "Roast of Tom Brady", and it didn't disappoint.
For the greatest quarterback of all time who has won seven Super Bowls, it may not seem like there is a lot to poke fun at, but Sunday's guests certainly weren't short (not a Kevin Hart joke) on material.
For many Patriots fans, it featured some of the fan-favorite cast members from the dynasty years. Besides Brady, Drew Bledsoe, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Randy Moss, as well as longtime head coach Bill Belichick owner Robert Kraft. Despite the tumultuous relationship between Belichick and Kraft, they engaged in an unexpectedly wholesome moment towards the end of the night when the pair took a shot together.

Truthfully, even if the roast itself was a dud, much of Patriots nation would have taken pleasure in seeing so many heroes of the dynasty-era together in one room.
In addition to the football personalities, Brady's roast included host Kevin Hart, comedians and noted roasters Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser, as well as a surprise appearance from fictional character Ron Burgundy, Kim Kardashian also took the stage (to boos) and Dana White made an abbreviated appearance.
Here are some of the best clips from Sunday night's special.
Bill Belichick Crushes It
Bill Belichick might have landed a head coaching gig for 2024, but Belichick's unemployment has allowed fans to enjoy a previously unseen side of him. He has graduated from his grunts and mumbles from behind the podium and opened up, much to the delight of many Patriots fans.
Many New England fans had been upset with Apple TV+'s The Dynasty and regarded it as a Kraft-led hit piece on Belichick. Well, Belichick had apparently taken note of that, firing back when he labeled The Dynasty as a "roast of Bill Belichick on the 10-part doc".
THIS LEAGUE!!!!

Although Belichick is new to the media side of football, he didn't hold back from critiquing Rob Gronkowski's media career on Fox Sports, offering some simple advice.

Julian Edelman Gets His "Revenge" on Belichick
12-year Patriot and three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman saw an opportunity to clap back at his former coach on one of Belichick's famous lines about how he could find kids at Foxborough High to run plays better than his New England Patriots. After Belichick came up empty during this job cycle, Edelman didn't miss:

“I’ve been waiting for this for so long…
Look a******, Foxboro High is the only job offer you f****** had!”

"You remember when you used to yell at us 'look, a-------, the f------ kids down at Foxborough High can make that f------ play.' I've been waiting for this for so long. Look, a-------, Foxborough High is the only f------ job offer that you had."Julian Edelman
Belichick's reaction to the crack made Edelman's roast even better, and it was nice to see the legendary coach able to laugh at himself and the situation.
Tom Brady Admits to Deflategate?
Infamous in Patriots lore, Tom Brady addressed his side of Deflategate during Sunday's roast, cracking that he would have gladly admitted to Deflategate - for the right price.

Following a 45-7 thumping of the Indianapolis Colts in the 2014 AFC Championship Game, Brady became engulfed in a legal battle with the NFL after the league alleged that the quarterback deflated footballs to gain a competitive advantage. His four-game suspension was initially overturned before eventually being reinstated, and the incident is one of the few blemishes on Brady's career.
Brady addressed the Patriots-Colts one-sided "rivalry", as well as his dominance over the Buffalo Bills. Brady held a 16-4 record against the Colts, and a 33-3 record against the Bills in the regular season and playoffs for an astonishing 49-7 record.

Honorable Mention
This one has an asterisk because it didn't come until Monday morning, but Eli Manning still didn't pass up on an opportunity to fly in from the top rope on Brady. Manning, who famously beat Brady in both Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI (earning Super Bowl MVP in both)
Manning's New York Giants ended the Patriots pursuit of a 19-0 season in 2008, and Brady is on record saying that he is very much "not over" any of those Super Bowl losses, so Manning's cut might have run deep.
I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!
