Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” special on Sunday was meant to be a roast of the former NFL quarterback himself, but even Tom Brady decided to join in on the action.
On Sunday, Netflix live streamed the Brady roasting event hosted by beloved actor and comedian Kevin Hart. Others who appeared and spoke at the show included Bill Belichick (Brady’s former head coach in New England), Jeff Ross, Kim Kardashian, and ex-teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski.
When it was Brady’s turn to speak, he made a ruthless joke about OJ Simpson that caused a reaction from the audience. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 on Apr. 10 from a battle with prostate cancer.:
“When I heard there was a slow white Bronco heading down the 405 to come here tonight, I thought we might actually see a real football legend.”

Brady is referencing the infamous “Bronco chase” involving Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings on June 17, 1994. Simpson was charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, and he drove off with Cowlings despite agreeing to turn himself over to police.

About 95 million Americans watched the low-speed chase unfold on TV. Simpson arrived at his home and spoke to his mother over the phone before surrendering to police.
Simpson was ultimately acquitted of both murders, but he was later found liable for the deaths of Brown and Goldman in a civil trial. Simpson was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the victims of both families.
