There’s no question that Tom Brady took some abuse on the comedy special The Roast of Tom Brady (available to stream with a Netflix subscription ), but when it came to who got hit the hardest, some of the night’s harshest and most hilarious jokes were aimed at former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski. It’s no surprise then that when it came time for Gronk to get his revenge, he didn’t hold back. According to fellow roaster Drew Bledsoe, Gronkowski went way off-script, to the point that they weren’t sure he’d ever go back to the teleprompter.
A number of stories have come out since the comedians and football greats got together to honor Tom Brady by mercilessly tearing him down in front of millions of people. For instance, we’ve learned that the GOAT was legit mad about one of the jokes and that he’ll never do another roast due to how it affected his kids. For former Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, there were jokes he wishes he would have told , but it sounds like Rob Gronkowski did not have similar regrets.
That’s because the tight end went wildly off-script in order to get his shots in. Bledsoe said on The Dan Patrick Show : We all appreciate Gronk because he just gets to be Gronk, and the funny thing is we’re all sitting up there on the stage and we can see the teleprompter, and Gronk was so far off script that we did not know if he was coming back. Like, he was out wandering in the wilderness.
It was obvious for anyone who attended The Roast of Tom Brady .
