NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick couldn’t resist poking fun at Tom Brady’s involvement with Birmingham City FC during The Roast of Tom Brady, a live Netflix event where comedians and NFL stars gathered to humorously rib the football icon.
Belichick, who enjoyed immense success with Brady at the New England Patriots, made a surprise appearance at the roast. Amidst his set, he didn’t hold back, bluntly addressing Birmingham’s recent relegation to League One, humorously remarking that the team “sucks.” He quipped about the challenges of running a sports team, subtly teasing Brady about his foray into soccer ownership.
Birmingham City’s relegation came after a dramatic final day of Championship action, despite their efforts in securing a 1-0 win over Norwich City.
Brady, as a minority owner and chairman of the club’s advisory board, expressed determination for Birmingham to bounce back and achieve future success, thanking fans for their support during the tough times.
Meanwhile, Birmingham’s captain, John Ruddy, exuded confidence in the club’s ability to return to the Premier League within five years, emphasizing the importance of setting both short-term goals and long-term visions to foster success.
Despite the lighthearted banter, Belichick’s roast moment added a touch of humor to the event, showcasing the camaraderie and playful rivalry between two sporting icons in different realms of the sports world.
