Los Angeles’ Kia Forum has rarely seen a night quite like it did on Sunday when Tom Brady rolled into town.
”The Greatest Roast of All Time” promised fireworks, if nothing else. It certainly delivered, with celebrity after celebrity shrouding the former Patriots icon in endless barbs.
Brady tended to be a good sport during the encounter, although there were certainly some tense moments — namely, Brady’s confrontation with Jeff Ross after the veteran jokester made one too many jokes about Robert Kraft’s purported exploits in massage parlors.
There were a number of standout performers on Sunday night. Kevin Hart and Nikki Glaser turned up the heat on football’s greatest-ever thrower, routinely throwing digs toward the deterioration of Brady’s former marriage with Gisele Bundchen. Bill Belichick also showcased his legendary sense of humor, an aspect many will be hoping to see in his post-coaching tenure.
Brady took the cake on Sunday, though, admitting to certain wrongdoings involving footballs with slightly less air pressure than one would like.
All told, it was a night for the stars, Brady being the biggest one of them all. Follow Sporting News’ live coverage of the event below.

9:26 p.m.: It ain’t cheating if you’re winning. And although the Patriots have developed something of a reputation for the latter, former WR Randy Moss wishes they had done more of the former when he was on the roster.
