Tom Brady snaps at Jeff Ross over Robert Kraft massage joke at Netflix roast
Despite signing up for a roasting, there was one comment by Jeff Ross which pushed the former NFL player too far
Netflix's The Greatest Roast of All Time saw Tom Brady roasted to an inch of his life but one comment by Jeff Ross pushed him too far.
On Sunday night (May 5) the American football quarterback took to the stage at the live event and allowed the likes of former coach Bill Belichick, Kim Kardashian and fellow New England Patriots player Julian Edelman to rip into him, however, there was one joke from stand-up comedian Ross that saw Brady rise to his feet in protest.
Prior to the show, Brady spoke out about his preparation for being completely rinsed.

He said: "It’s like a football game. You run with a game plan, and then you get to see kind of how the strategy goes, and then you adjust on the fly. This is what a locker room has been like for me for all these years. So it’s not like I’m used to people not making fun of me."
Host Kevin Hart also noted no topic was off limits however, it would appear there was one roast which took it too far for Brady.
During the live show, Ross took to the stage to give as good as he's got - I mean, he is known as the Roastmaster General after all - but one quip didn't land well with the former NFL player.
It didn't take long for Ross to dive into Brady's career as a quarterback, referring to a moment when Brady told owner of New England Patriots Robert Kraft he was the 'best decision' the organization had 'ever made'.
Ross then added: "Would you like a massage?"
The comedian's mention of a massage refers to two charges of soliciting prostitution Kraft faced back in 2019 which saw him accused of paying for sex at a massage parlor in Florida. At the time, Kraft pleaded not guilty and issued a public apology. The charges against him were later dropped.
Ross' mention of it was the one roast during the whole comedy show which Brady drew the line at, the former quarterback seen rising from his seat at the side of the stage and walking over to Ross to tell him: "Don't say that s**t again."
Before moving swiftly on, Ross responded: "Ok. Okay. He's having fun, look at him. I love what you do for the Jews, Robert Kraft. You're incredible."
And at the end of Ross' set, the pair embraced both sporting smiles, seemingly having gotten over any slight iciness which occurred at Ross' mention of Kraft.
