Bill Belichick, Peyton Manning and the best moments from Tom Brady’s roast

After more than two decades of winning, it was Tom Brady’s turn to take the hot seat.

The iconic quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl winner was roasted in a Netflix special Sunday night titled “G.R.O.A.T. The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady.” 

Unlike many other televised roasts, Brady’s roast was live and ran for more than three hours, giving the roasters plenty of time to throw quips at the former quarterback.

Several notable names in the football and entertainment worlds made appearances on Sunday as well. Bill Belichick and former New England Patriots players, such as Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Randy Moss and Drew Bledsoe, were on one side of the dais. On the other side, comedians Jeff Ross, Nikki Glaser and Sam Jay were among those to make jokes at Brady’s expense. There were also multiple special appearances, such as Will Ferrell as “Anchorman” character Ron Burgundy, Peyton Manning and with Kevin Hart serving as the roast master.

Let’s take a look at some of the best moments from Sunday’s event. 

Drew Bledsoe gets benched … again

The show opened in a similar fashion as Brady’s career did. In a pre-taped segment, Belichick pulled Bledsoe aside and let Brady take center stage.

“It’s great seeing you again,” Belichick said. “This is a big night. The fans want you. Everyone wants you. But it’s not your night. Sorry, Drew.

“Brady … You’re in, let’s go!”

But Bledsoe gets his revenge

Bledsoe was the first former Patriots player to take the mic, firing off a joke at Belichick’s employment status after the show opening.

“There were rumors Coach Belichick was gonna be here tonight,” Bledsoe quipped. “Turns out he has some time on his hands. Look, at least when I was fired somebody else wanted me.”

Bledsoe admitted Monday on “The Herd” that it was more diffcult to roast his former backup than his former coach.

“You can’t make fun of his career, you can’t make fun of his accomplishments, so you’ve gotta go personal.” Bledsoe told Colin Cowherd.
