Ian I felt this deserved its own thread.

That was the best 3 hours of TV I’ve seen since the Falcons SB

People love drama and make it like there’s all this bad blood between them. Glad they came together and had a fun night, these guys will have a lifelong bond.

It was great but was about an hour too long. A handful of the roasters could have been deleted.

Bull clearly wanted nothing to do with Kraft. Always find it interesting how badly fans want to see the positive in everything about their team.

I was happy to see Willie there more than anyone else. I am sure he has had a rough few months (his doing) but it was good of Brady to stick with him. Brady always seemed like he admired Willie more than any other teammate.

It is also clear that he has a very different relationship with his early teammates than the later ones. Gronk is probably the only exception.

Roasts are like the draft. You have to get some bad ones in order to get some good ones. And some of it seems very predictable after the fact.

Willie introduced him to Alex Guerrero I think that has a little something to do with it. Not that winning 3 SBs together isn't enough.

One of the cases where the picture doesnt tell the story. BB didnt want any part of it it seemed. Just went through with it.

Yeah he's clearly still raw. Understandably too.

I still think it was a nice moment and it had to start somewhere. Thank you Kevin Hart for making them do it.

On the flip side seeing where these 2 are goes to show that it seems like Bill and Brady are mostly past their issues.

My 10 yr old is a huge pats fan now, unfortunately hes really only gotten to see the bad years live. I’ve shown him all the Super Bowls and key moments of the dynasty, i cant wait until hes old enough to rewatch this show with him lol

Anytime Brady talks about him, he always speaks highly of him in terms of leadership. Always the first name he mentions about his first days as a Patriot.

I think the issue between Brady and Bill are really not that big of a deal to them in the long run. Getting rid of players you think you no longer need is a fact of life in sports. There tends to be hurt feelings in the moment but over time they go away. A lot of people were pissed at Bill after he let them go but they always speak well of him now. I expect the same with Brady even though publicly he has been nothing but gracious from day 1 after he left.

What Kraft did is worse than that because he took it outside the lines of football operations and made it a PR war. Bill will probably forgive eventually since he will still want his flowers as part of the Pats organization but it may take a while.
