Tom Brady, the former NFL quarterback and the most successful in history, was roasted in a Netflix special on Sunday, May 5. The show was named "The Roast of Tom Brady, AKA The Greatest Roast of All Time." Brady, who has seven Super Bowl rings - more than any franchise, was the subject of jokes by his predecessor Drew Bledsoe, coach Bill Belichick, and actor/comedian Kevin Hart among others.

The show started just like Brady's career with the New England Patriots where Belichick put him in ahead of Bledsoe.

"The fans want you. Everyone wants you. But it's not your night. Sorry, Drew," said Belichick before adding "Brady, you're in. Let's go."

Bledsoe, clearly not amused, just like the first time, said: "Are you f***ing kidding me?. Again?"

The above bit started the night of jokes, several on Brady's draft pick number and his divorce from his wife Gisele Bündchen. The best of the jokes about these two, however, came from Bledsoe.

"Look, buddy, you have more rings than I do," Bledsoe said. "But I've experienced a couple of things that you will never experience: The feeling of being the No. 1 overall draft pick in the NFL and a 28th wedding anniversary. It was yesterday."

Notably, Brady was the 199th overall pick of the NFL Draft 2000.

Bledsoe also roasted Belichick and said: “Who’s more hateable than the most successful quarterback of all time? I mean, except maybe Belichick. There were rumours that coach Belichick was going to be here tonight. Turns out he has some time on his hands. Look, at least when I got fired, someone else wanted me."

Brady, however, had the last word on Bledsoe and said: “Like the rest of America, I will always remember where I was that fateful day in September 2001 when, tragically, those two Jets slammed into Drew Bledsoe."

In his 23-year-long career, Brady had a 251-82 (win-loss) record in the regular season and 35-13 in the postseason. He won six Super Bowls with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
