Tom Brady has become famous for his accurate passes on the football field; now, at an exclusive celebrity roast event attended by comedians, former teammates, and sports figures alike, he displayed equally sharp wit – taking playful jabs at various figures such as former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick among them.
What Did Brady Have to Say about Belichick?
Brady stole the show at this year’s awards dinner when he referenced an online video captured by a Ring doorbell camera, showing Bill Belichick sneaking out shirtless of an early morning house early last November. Brady joked with an amused smile about how this video captured such an unforgettable and humorous yet slightly embarrassing moment between Belichick and him that has gone viral since it surfaced online last November. He joked about it being his favorite ring — not any one of his seven Super Bowl rings — rather this specific camera that captured such an engaging yet slightly embarrassing exchange between Belichick and himself last November.
“Every time somebody asked which ring was my favorite… my answer used to be ‘the next one,” but now he has found one he really likes.” His playful banter continued as he pointed towards Belichick saying, “Hey you still got it baby!! Respect baby!!”. This statement received laughter from both audience and Belichick himself who seemed both amused yet slightly awkward when responding.
How Did Belichick Respond?
Bill Belichick is known for his typically subdued demeanor; but when faced with Brady’s jokey antics he couldn’t help but respond with an odd smile; though not overwrought with emotion this uncharacteristically warm reaction seemed out of character for someone known for having such a reserved and casual match-side manner.
Belichick also showed his appreciation by hugging Julian Edelman – another legendary Patriots player – demonstrating their close ties.
What Were Other Contributors Saying at the Event?
Tom Brady made light of Bill Belichick in an amusing, humorous series of jabs aimed at different aspects of his professional and personal lives. Brady recently retired from professional football himself and took some time to question Belichick’s achievements without him as part of this roasting session.
Brady cheekily teased, “Since I haven’t played, how many Super Bowls have the Patriots won since my absence?” suggesting that their success may depend just as heavily on players than on coaches.
Brady also likened his football experience to attending the Indy 500, humorously noting, “When I go to an Indy 500 race, I never ask who filled up your car!”- suggesting that those behind-the-scenes play just as important of an role than those in the spotlight.
How Did Others Assist With the Roast?
Kevin Hart hosted an open and candid roast of Tom Brady that showcased an open dialogue on all subjects; no topic was taboo and guests didn’t hold back, making jokes not only from Brady himself but also Hart and other participants discussing everything from his distinguished NFL career to personal matters such as his recent divorce from Gisele Bundchen.

At this year’s event, laughter, camaraderie and nostalgia combined as old teammates and rivals shared the stage together. Notable comedians as well as athletic superstars provided an entertaining blend of sports and comedy which kept audiences on their toes throughout the evening.
Tom Brady’s roast of Bill Belichick at this star-studded event showcased not only his quick wit but also the longstanding relationships and rivalries formed through his NFL career.
