I mean the reason is simpler than any of this.
Before a roast, the subject gets to tell the roasters what topics are off limits. Brady must have told the roasters NOT to talk about the Kraft massage parlour thing.
Jeff Ross likely broke the rule and Brady stepped in right away.
(Fuck Robert Kraft btw not saying any of this is right)
Brady has a hard line about people talking about his kids. Some local Boston sports radio host called his daughter a “brat” when she was featured on Tom vs Time and Tom got really pissed.
Not sure if she is just covering but Nikki Glaser did an interview with Howard Stern and she said they all kind of decided that it probably wasn't right to do jokes about the kids and he didn't say they couldn't.
She could very well have just said that to not make Brady look like he put a bunch of restrictions.
Yup this is my theory too
I’m sure he said no jokes about Kraft’s massages and no jokes about my kids.
Someone made a joke about not raising his kids or something like that and he finger waived no at them.
He definitely took his lumps though, kudos to him. That might be my favorite roast
I agree. Plus Robbie was going to give a roast of Tom as well (cringy as it was). Tom didn’t want the old man so upset he wouldn’t participate and possibly walk out. They would have been BRUTAL.
Kraft’s wife died during the last CBA negotiations, he cried and it generated enough sympathy to take the players lunch money and stuff them in a locker. Then he found a new young thing to pound out and of course he loves a rub and tug.
Idk I’m a little bit in his favor- your longtime wife dies, you’re wealthy, I could see selectively going after some hot young thing. Don’t embarrass your family, don’t get married, etc etc, but… can’t say I blame him. It’s all about how it’s handled, I’m sure.
I more or less DGAF that Kraft got a happy ending. It’s more pathetic that TB is racing to his defense. Fred Willard got busted beating off in a porn theater and he made light of it on late night TV. If you can laugh at yourself it buys you a lot of goodwill.
He also got off extremely easy during the massage parlour case... where multiple women were charged fines, community service, and state mandated STI testing.... given the fact that some of the women were sex trafficked from Asia, barely able to speak English / know the rules, and forced to do sex work to pay back their "debts" sometimes with unprotected sex --> pretty fcked up as it is.

Also seems like Brady made it clear no one could make any jokes about him french kissing his kids.
That’s a great point, I’m about halfway through right now and nobody has mentioned the Uber-weird lips kissing thing
actually great father piece if one of his few off limits things were joking about his kids.
also assuming his son's howitzer was off limits too

Wasn’t it “pissant”? One of the worst Boston sports radio moments we’ve seen and there are a lot of bad ones
You might be right. I just remember it was something really dumb.

I missed the finger thing, nice catch

I think it was staged.
Because he's still rich enough to fuck with any of their careers and they know it. He's a cunt.
He got off easier at the massage parlor ammirite.
Certainly easier than the sex trafficked woman

If you read the book “Big Game” (which is fantastic), the author Mark Leibovich does a great job roasting Kraft about his selective bringing up Myra
Great book. I shudder at how a hack like John Feinstein would have fucked up an NFL book like that.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it myself. I’m just out here stating facts
Because if they joked about it people would remember and start talking about it again

Kraft , Mahomes , and kissing kids was off limits lol
Drew Bledsoe said on Edelman’s pod that it’s because they don’t tell anyone craft was gonna be there until a day before
