Retired NFL legend Tom Brady took the hot seat on Sunday night as part of GROAT, The Greatest Roast Of All Time, which streamed on Netflix Live.
The event, hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, featured many accomplished roasters such as Roastmaster General Jeff Ross, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schulz, Bert Kreischer, and more.
Will Ferrell also made an appearance, embodying his famous character creation, Ron Burgundy.
Burgundy didn’t need a teleprompter aid this time around, shredding Brady by using one of his sorest spots: Retired New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
“Underneath that dead robot of a quarterback, there’s a scared little boy,” Burgundy said. “Anyone notice? You don’t see Eli Manning here tonight, do you? No. That’s because he’s afraid of Eli Manning. Eli Manning made Tom Brady his (expletive). He made him his (expletive)!”
But Burgundy didn’t stop there. He then led the crowd in a chant for Brady.
“Eli. Manning. Made. Tom. Brady. His. (Expletive),” Burgundy shouted, urging those in attendance to chant along. “One, two, three… Eli. Manning. Made. Tom. Brady. His. (Expletive)!”
Before signing off, Burgundy had one closing thought for Brady.
“You won’t be forgotten. You’ll always be remembered as Eli Manning’s (expletive),” he said.
Although Brady and Manning have become friends over the years, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer has never shied away from the pain suffered in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI.
Brady has acknowledged that those two Super Bowl losses still haunt him and that he’d even be willing to trade some of his other championship rings if he could go back in time and win Super Bowl XLII.
To close out the roast, Brady delivered his own message to Manning and Giants fans alike.
“And Giants fans,” Brady said, “(Expletive) Eli and (expletive) you, twice.”
Ultimately, Manning got the last laugh. Again.
I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!
