“I think that was 100 percent true,” Schultz said of Brady’s reaction to a joke Ross made about a legendary NFL quarterback asking his former owner for a massage. “I’ll tell you something. The reason I think this is real is because they didn’t joke about having a happy ending with Bob Kraft. I had a Bob Kraft tag.” [after] It’s a joke about Randy Moss. ”
Schultz felt that if Ross made a joke, Brady might want to stop the roast.
“This is the first comic to be baked live, and it’s your night,” Schultz said of Brady. “He was ready to shut everything down. It’s Alpha A–move out there.”
Brady didn’t mind jokes about his failed marriage to Gisele Bündchen, Deflategate, or his relationship with Bill Belichick, who made a surprise appearance. But he didn’t want anything to be said about the craft, and made that clear.

The day after the roast, Ross appeared on “The Rich Eisen Show,” and when asked if Brady was actually mad at him for making Kraft’s joke, he said, “No way.”
“We’re having fun,” he said. “It’s like a father figure to him, right? Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him. He just showed love to Robert Kraft.”
Ross said he had a great conversation with Kraft after the roast, and the billionaire owner also secured a spot for him. Kraft cracked a few jokes and ended his corner by asking infamous Russian President Vladimir Putin to give him back his Super Bowl ring.
