The Roast of Tom Brady delivered one-liners, low blows and self-deprecating candour, including from the GOAT himself.
He delivered this classic one-liner with deadpan manner, making it more awkwardly funny.
“The NFL spent $20 million to police I more probably than not deflated footballs. If you had just given me the $20 million, I would have told you I f___ did it.”
That is as close to an admission that Brady has ever come up with regarding the furore over his potentially, probably deflating of football in the 2014 AFC championship game against the Colts.
He would go on to serve a four-match suspension mission g four games at the start of the next season, but there was such histrionics around the issue that looking back, a slightly softer ball did not warrant court cases and millions of wasted dollars.
The news coverage must have generated hundreds of millions more in advertising spend, so in retrospect the decision to deflate or not contributed greatly to the economy. The league could have saved all that by simply giving Brady the money.
