An interesting Tom Brady partnership has come to light in the wake of the former NFL quarterback’s Netflix roast.
Brady, 46, was the subject of a sensational roast streamed live via said platform on Sunday night. The viewership numbers haven’t been released yet, but they are expected to be historic, given all of the online buzz.
The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller was roasted by an All-Star cast including Jeff Ross, Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, Sam Jay, Kim Kardashian, Tony Hinchcliffe, Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, Randy Moss, Bill Belichick, Julian Edelman, and Rob Gronkowski.
MLFootball has since reported that Brady and Ross are now producing partners and own the roast.

Tom Brady And Jeff Ross Had A Bit Of Early Friction
Brady and Ross shared a notable moment on Sunday night after the comedian made a joke referencing Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s massage parlor incident.
He said:
“So Tom became a Patriot and moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft‘s office and said, ‘I’m the best decision your organization has ever made. Would you like a massage?’”
Brady immediately approached him, leaned over, and told him, “Never say that S- again.”
Ross spoke about the joke on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ the following day and revealed Brady wasn’t actually mad.
“Come on, no way,” he said. “He was having fun. Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him. He was just showing his love for Robert Kraft. And Robert Kraft loved it. We had a great talk afterward. He was so happy that I gave him a shoutout and a salute. It was beautiful.”
Ross also revealed that the roast had been in the works for years but was held back because Brady decided to return to football after retiring.
