In a whirlwind of comedic jabs and social media jousting, the latest buzz in the NFL circles revolves around none other than the legendary Tom Brady and the controversial Antonio Brown. The recent “Great Roast of All Time: Tom Brady” event in Los Angeles turned heads and stirred emotions as Brady, known for his wit and charm, took the stage to deliver some eyebrow-raising jokes.
One of the most striking moments of the event was Brady’s quip about Drew Bledsoe’s injury back in 2001, ingeniously linking it to the tragic events of September 11th. His humorous take on the situation left both fellow comedians and viewers in awe and disbelief. “Like the rest of America, I’ll always remember where I was that fateful day in September of 2001, when tragically, those two Jets slammed into Drew Bledsoe,” Brady remarked, showcasing his ability to blend humor with sensitive topics.
Adding fuel to the fire, Brady also made a pointed reference to his former teammate, tight end Aaron Hernandez, who faced serious criminal charges in 2013. “The bar for a Patriots tight end was pretty low back then: block, catch, don’t murder,” Brady quipped, pushing the boundaries of acceptable humor in a roast setting.
However, the roast didn’t spare Brady either. There was a moment during the event when Brady, known for his composed demeanor, couldn’t help but react to a particularly sharp jab directed at him. Rising from his seat, he exclaimed, “Don’t say that sh**t again,” showcasing his human side amidst the laughter and banter.
Amidst this uproar, enter Antonio Brown, famously dubbed “the King of Controversy” in the NFL world. Despite facing backlash for his past controversial posts, Brown seized the opportunity to add his own twist to the narrative. Posting a meme from The Boys, Brown cleverly highlighted the double standard perceived in Brady’s jokes about sensitive topics compared to others. His tweet captioned with a reference to CTESPN, a nod to his own brand of humor, sparked further conversation and debate.

The roast didn’t stop at Brady’s jokes or Brown’s social media antics. Comedian Kevin Hart, known for his sharp wit, didn’t hold back either. During his roast of Brady, Hart humorously mentioned Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, leading to a moment of laughter and surprise. Brown, always quick to engage, shared the clip on social media, adding his own playful commentary and proving that he’s not one to shy away from the spotlight or the occasional jab.
Despite previous clashes and being blocked by Brady on social media platforms, Brown remains undeterred. His sharp remarks and desire to be part of the comedic fray showcase a side of the NFL that’s both entertaining and unpredictable.
