Roasted GOAT

[Devizier]

I'm being 100% honest when I say SoSH is the only place in which I've read reactions that deviate from "that was hilarious" regarding the roast. Fox likely doesn't give a shit.

This is the only place where I’ve heard it discussed at all.

Tom Brady is a VERY public figure, with a strong PR department. You cant go ten days without seeing him at an event or in an ad or commenting about something. Tiger Woods is a very private person, and folks like that won’t ever do a roast.

My point was that Tiger has some REAL demons that would make for epic roast material. But you're right, he'd never do it and I can't see a lot of the other iconic sports superstars doing it. This kind of stuff is really meant for comics. I'm still surprised Brady is walking a lot of this back, though. I get he's still trying to feel his way around a post-playing career, but this seemed an avoidable miscalculation if it really ended up being that way in his eyes.

The follow-ups to this show might actually be even better:

Bledsoe on Edelman's podcast the next day is something I could listen to forever and play myself to sleep:

Drew: "When I got drafted, I told Kraft how much I loved skiing, and when I got this second contract there was all this language about getting hurt skiing."

Edelman on Pat's show:

"I'm sitting in Brentwood because Brady fed me the rock. But Bill drafted me. I feel like the kid who has to talk about mom and dad after the divorce."

Julian says if transfer rules existed back in his day he'd have transferred to Oregon.

It’s fucking nuts that he did this in light of what his kids must think watching it and listening to others comment on it. Forget whatever thought process led him to expose HIMSELF to this ridicule - he decided he DGAF if his kids had to deal with it.

Exactly. I pretty much lost all respect for Tom Brady. He's an egomaniacal wad. And he's fucking stupid.
