In a comedic whirlwind that left NFL fans gasping for air, Tom Brady, the venerable quarterback with a trophy-laden career, found himself at the receiving end of relentless jibes during the star-studded roast event fittingly dubbed “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Hosted by none other than the pint-sized dynamo of comedy, Kevin Hart, the roast quickly spiraled into a barrage of insults and jests, with Brady’s peers and acquaintances gleefully taking aim at the football icon.
The roast, streamed live to eager audiences, witnessed a cavalcade of personalities, including the likes of Drew Bledsoe, Nikki Glaser, Ron Burgundy (yes, you read that right), Randy Moss, and even the notoriously stoic Bill Belichick, all lining up to deliver their own brand of verbal pummeling to the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
However, amidst the onslaught of comedic artillery, one unexpected challenger emerged from the shadows to add his own unique flavor to the roast. Tyreek Hill, the lightning-fast wide receiver known for his explosive plays on the gridiron, took to social media to amplify the roast’s intensity. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Hill threw his support behind Kevin Hart’s razor-sharp jab at Brady’s expense, particularly focusing on the quarterback’s past relationship with supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
In a tweet dripping with playful sarcasm, Hill quipped, “I hope they got AB [Antonio Brown] at Tom Brady roast off 😂😂,” a nod to Brady’s strained relationship with the enigmatic wide receiver. The reference to Brown, who himself has had a tumultuous history with Brady and the Buccaneers, added another layer of intrigue to an already volatile mix.

Indeed, Brady’s relationship with Antonio Brown has been anything but smooth sailing. Once regarded as allies in pursuit of gridiron glory, cracks began to surface following the Buccaneers’ triumphant Super Bowl LV victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown’s subsequent airing of grievances on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast shed light on simmering tensions between him and the future Hall of Famer.
Detailing a heated exchange between Brady and Brown’s agent over contract negotiations, the wide receiver painted a picture of discord behind the scenes. Brown’s accusations of Brady’s ulterior motives and alleged preferential treatment further strained an already fragile relationship, culminating in a public spat that spilled onto the football field.
In his final game with the Buccaneers, Brown infamously stormed off the field, casting blame squarely on Brady’s shoulders for his abrupt exit. Accusations of special treatment and injury-related grievances only added fuel to the fire, cementing the rift between player and quarterback.
As the echoes of laughter and ribbing reverberate through the annals of football history, Tom Brady finds himself in an unfamiliar position: the butt of the joke. Yet, amid the joviality and good-natured banter, one can’t help but wonder if there’s more to this comedic spectacle than meets the eye.
