Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is not used to being on the hot seat. As perhaps the greatest quarterback of all time. But that is exactly where the New England Patriots legend finds himself in a new Netflix special. Brady will be the upcoming subject of a roast hosted by the streaming platform that debuts on May 5.
“Yes, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is the target of the first-ever roast that will be telecast live, and unedited as part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest. The Greatest Roast of All Time — or GROAT if you will — will be hosted by Kevin Hart at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles,” the release reads.
“Featuring surprise guests from the worlds of sports, comedy, and entertainment. While the Brady rule might have once protected his legs, there’s no rule here about coming for his stated preference for softballs.”
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady will be LIVE on Netflix on May 5 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.

Tom Brady Gives NSFW Response to Roast
It takes a lot of courage to be the subject of a roast. Especially for an NFL legend like Tom Brady. A lot of people have been harboring their hatred for the Patriots legend for years.
And now a host of “surprise guests,” will get their fair shot at the decorated athlete. But when asked his thoughts on his upcoming demise, Brady had a three-word NSFW response to his haters”
“No f****** problem,” the Super Bowl Champion said.
Brady Teases NFL Return
Brady is now officially retired from the NFL. But he has already changed course on retirement once. Seemingly still in great shape, some have pondered if another comeback might be in the cards for the NFL star.
Brady says he doesn’t know if he would be welcomed back to the NFL because he is now a minority owner for the Las Vegas Raiders. But if he were allowed to it is something he would at least ponder.
“I’m not opposed to it,” Brady said. “I don’t know if they are going to let me if I become an owner of an NFL team. I’m always going to be in good shape. I’ll always be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit, like MJ [Michael Jordan] coming back, I don’t know if they would let me. But I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
