Winners and Losers of the Tom Brady Roast | The Bill Simmons Podcast 

Ben Affleck should’ve called in sick

It’s a breath of fresh air honestly, people letting their guards down and having some laughs.

Tony Hincliffe was amazing

It was phenomenal. Nikki and Tony totally killed it

Bill - you nailed it, we've now got our closure for the end of an era, RIP Dynasty !

Peyton actually did make a hair joke, something along the lines of how do you have more hair than me?

Belichick won so hard at that roast, he obviously really loves Brady, Gronk, Edelman and Moss but absolutely despises Kraft lmao and he took the jokes hurled at him like a champ, I actually can’t believe he decided to show up for that, seems so out of character for him.

Bledsoe was great... he was strong and his delivery was such that it came off like he does this all the time.

Years ago, back when you could swear at NFL games, we were chirping Brady hard as he was doing a pre-game working out (with some elastic harness thing) from the 6th row In Orchard Park. He comes over to the wall and says to us. You two aren't from Buffalo. We're like "umm.. no sorry for yelling at you we're from Hamilton". Without skipping a beat he smiles, and says, "Ti-Cats fans. Makes sense." then walks away. I had no doubts he was going to have a good roast.

Nikki and Tony were the MVPs, but I’m not shocked about the Moynahan stuff, I mean Tom did do that shit😂😂

Thanks to Tom Brady Roast. Coach Bill was the winner- he was funny.

Guess ross didn't get the memo, no Kraft massage jokes!

"Fuck you, Tom!" I laughed every time Kevin Hart yelled it into the mic!! This was absolutely bonkers insane hilarious!

There were absolutely NO LOSERS, it was a spectacular event from start to finish and beyond. Nikki gets the MVP, Giselle (how ever you spell it) gets what she deserved and Kim gets mad RESPECT for even showing up. She definitely never deserved to be booed and I guess there were losers after all. The booers, absolute LOSERS!

Kim wasn't booed bc of freaking Taylor swift... its bc she's kim kardashian and everyone was wondering wtf she she was there

Tony was the top roaster! He murdered everyone!

Nikki Glazer went from “She’s kind of funny, but not sure why she’s famous”, and turned into a fucking legend.

Tony schooled all, best roasting in national tv ever

Can’t wait for the Lebron Roast with surprise guest Delonte West

Honestly, biggest loser? Giselle. She got low key trashed and basically called an outright 304 in front of the entire world.

2 bears one cave bombed

I'm a longtime suffering Denver Broncos fan and I really enjoyed the Roast of Tom Brady! It also was fun seeing him respond to both Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. I also enjoyed seeing Payton Manning come in and roast him as well. It was a "giant" win for Netflix!

I think the "Gronk is dumb" and "Kevin Hart is short" jokes are so tired but there was a lot of clever setups for them, so it didn't bother me. I really enjoyed the entire show. The bombs made the hits worth it.

Schulz, Glaser, Hinchcliffe, and Manning killed it.

Bledsoe Killed it Last Night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bob Kraft telling Brady the raiders already did his favorite thing by getting rid of Jimmy Garoppolo was hilarious

Great roast. The only time i was not enjoying it was the Ben Affleck bit. I had to skip after a while. I also think they missed a huge opportunity not bringing in Eli Manning

Bill staying on the dais and taking his lumps was a G move.

Tony Hinchcliffe owned the night with his driveby massacre. The. guy was spitting flames. I would have loved to have seen Pete Davidson and Jeselnik but overall a pretty good deus.

I could have done with 50% less "Gronk is dumb" jokes. It was the hacky low hanging fruit of the roast and there was so much of it that eventually it just became mean spirited. Tony is still the king of roasts!!!

I liked the joke about everyone having a ring but Randy Moss, even Drew Bledsoe from the hospital, and Aaron Hernandez, around his neck... funny lady. I also laughed when Gronk spiked the shot glass (not sure if that was planned)

Tony hinchcliff had the best roasts. Nikki was second and Shultz was 3rd.

Brady has to protect Kraft because he needs Kraft to help him buy the Raiders. He needs Kraft to help him convince the other owners to give the greenlight.

Nikki was the best of the night. Start to finish, top stuff, GREAT delivery.

Kissing his Kids was off limits for sure

Colts fan here. Loved it

Bledsoe honestly seemed like the coolest guy there.

Biggest loser was Affleck.

Nikki Glaser killed it, among the other great roasters... that crypto joke... 😊 Kevin Hart, great roaster, can take as good as he can give...

Scottie Pippen should be next.

The Roast was hilarious. The only person missing was Greg Giraldo. RIP

I didn’t appreciate the Foxboro high slander

Watched 3 podcast reviews of the roast so far today. Not a peep about Tony Hinchcliffe. That’s unbelievable. He was amazing

Peyton manning roasted his hair at the end

The Jeff Ross/Brady thing was almost certainly a planned bit. Kraft certainly seemed like he was somewhat off-limits or the material was heavily vetted (which is fine, he probably wanted to be there and didn't want too many strays) but that was a moment that made people think Brady was more uncomfortable than he probably was and gave a sense, in a live setting, that anything can happen and anybody can say something that could tick him off. Whether planned or not, it benefited the roast.

How did you not mention Ben Affleck's meltdown?

BS needs to keep up on Podcasts, Edelman has a great podcast and has done a couple terrific episodes with Gronk. Their performances not surprising at all.

Comedy has to be uncensored. Glad to see Netflix coming back from all that ridiculous stuff with Chappelle and letting artists (gasp) be artists.

I agree roasts will be back after this amazing event. But unfortunately, as far as roastees go, it's almost impossible to top Brady since he is, for all intents and purposes, an actual real life Captain America (whether you love or hate him, we all know it's true). Maybe Lebron? Nah. Possibly Jordan, but he's been gone a long time now (although obviously that would command a massive viewership). Like, regardless who you name, they still aren't a bigger draw than Brady. Trump, yeah- but he's done it already. In other words, this was just a fantastic move on the part of Netflix.

Shultz, Hinchliffe, and Glazer were the best comedian performances. Hart did a great job too

I was there live and the energy was insane

Jeff was not a loser at all. He was the best one there. Brady was mad but that was the best joke of the night

Bill missed, there was a small joke about Brady's hair, near the end of the roast. I forget who made it, maybe Schulz? It was some kind of flyby comment about him having hair plugs or something. It was very quick and right after a bigger joke, so it's easy to miss

why don't understand how a guy like TB who is rich af, agreed to do this, I respect it, I can't handle something like it, everybody can roast me as much as they want as I'm not present I don't want to be there

Good stuff, Billy

Nikki Glazer won the night

Ben Affleck's coke rant

I was almost not going to go but decided the last minute. One of the best decisions. It was a nonstop 3hr laugh fest that was legendary

Bill did a great job for not being a comedian and being completely uncomfortable

It was pure 🔥

The Bulls next..... MJ and the Boyz... get it all out...😆

Did Belichick do an “on to Cincinnati” joke?

Niki rocket it, and it was an amazing roast, great show!🤩🤣🤣👍

Bert Kreischer is insufferable, and just somehow lucky enough to be in that particular inner circle of comedians that were on that roast. Bill Burr should have been invited, I’d be curious to know if he was and just declined, or if he was never even approached. I think it would be insulting if he was not even at least offered the opportunity

Nikki Glazer DESTROYED!!!

Tony and Nikki were a cut above everyone else and Ben seemed like he thought he was supposed to just rant about internet trolls

The Winners: Everyone except Ben Affleck

Kraft: Give me back me back my fucking ring! 😂😂😂

How did they not have Bill Burr? huge Patriot fan, Boston native, funniest guy today

I gotta check it out

HAIR - somebody nailed Toms fake hair hard one time.

No mention of how fn awful Ben Affleck was? lol He was, without a doubt, the biggest loser of the night and snatched the title from Kardashian.

Didn't realize the background on why BB slighted only Amendola. That makes it even funnier.

I'll watch it because i love roasts. i think it's so interesting to see the interactions. Even tho i hate the pats, only Patriot i actually like is bellichick.

It was the best roast ive ever seen.

The reason this roast worked is because all of the people that had a beef with Brady (Bledsoe, Belichick, Manning) and all of the people that could zing him (Moss, Gronk, Edelman) were there. What Comedy Central always got wrong is they rarely had close friends appear that knew the Roastee. I remember the Chevy Chase Roast didn’t have anyone from SNL or his movies and it was a bunch B and C level comedian roasting him. If Belichick or Bledsoe doesn’t show last night, it’s not as good. If Kraft doesn’t show, it’s not as good. All the key Patriots from the Dynasty were to air their grievances. Yes Glaser and Ross were funny, but they are irrelevant if they don’t know Tom. The best roast jokes are when you know someone and there is a grain of truth to it.

Of all the people there to make a 9/11 joke, i never would have guessed Tom Brady. It almost made up for him seeming to panic over the Kraft joke. Kim's momager has to be freaking out over the boos she got.

Hey Bill, did you get your jam yet? You've received jar #50, still waiting for your IG post. Chop Chop - Love, Meg!

Video idea: Tom Brady Super Bowl draft.

Peyton Manning said Brady had fake hair. Bill missed it.

I dont think you watched the same roast as everyone else . Winner tony Loser ben aflek

You're mistaken about the BB-Kraft toast, he turned to touch glass with Tom and I didn't see any hesitation myself

I'm from Michigan and obviously am a Brady fan. A lot of people forget he was a 6th round pick. In Michigan we knew though, he never got rattled. I am only ten minutes into the Netflix special and am pumped for it. Scrolling around without reading too much detail it sounds like it went well

when Brady approached Ross, it was totally part of the bit, it was funny, cute and spontaneous, all things Tom is not.

The non comedians all were really funny and came out looking great except for Ben Affleck. I was like WTF was that? I really like Affleck as an actor and director...but man...his set was cringe worthy.

We need to study why Diss Culture is taking over right now. I think it’s ultimately healthy and cathartic

Kim kinda turned it around tho. I wouldve booed her and then applauded after that set.

Bill you don’t mention Kill Tony? Seriously?

You think Belichick wrote his own monologue?

I like they did it live. 😂

Why do you think the Kraft joke was over the line? Just because Brady reacted to it? The Aaron Hernandez joke they wrote for Edelman was way worse than the Kraft joke, imho.

Peyton did talk about fake hair. It was quick but he did it.

How did you not mention Tony Hinchliffe?? Wow. He was easily the best. He killed at everything.

Dana White’s trans dig at Netflix was strong. Not surprised Bill has to virtue-signal against it

Im not an NFL or Patriots fan but i've watched all the roast the last 20 or so years. It was good and being live and on Netflix added a new element that I think will be required going forward. The Comedy Central roast get edited heavily and all the funny homophobic and racist jokes we got wouldve been removed. With that said it was too long and I got bored at 1.5 hours and turned it off at 2 hrr mark. Didnt know about the roast till it was over and saw all the 'greatest roast of all time' hype on twitter so I had to check it out monday. I think it was above average, but the main reason it stood out was it was uncensored and unedited element. I think Netflix has a hit on it's hands if they keep it that way. They need to make this an annual thing at that Netflix comedy festival. And the next list of celebs to roast should be Katt Williams, Joe Rogan, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Jocks, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods maybe a Kim Kardashian. Brady was a perfect roastee cause he's one of the greatest most focused/disiplined football players ever and now he's going thru this weird mid life crisis with lots of slutty behavior, hair transplants, botox injections, and poor decisions to make fun of!

the line not to be crossed was the massage jokes. Tom killed that sh REAL quick on Ross. That was an awkward moment.

Manning did have a hair joke

Hinchliffe stole that shit

No mention of Tony? He was the best set of the event.

Oh no there was jokes about his hair 😂
