Yeah. MJ wouldn't be a good one. Kevin Hart mentioned he once made a joke at MJ's expense at a charity golf tournament, and they haven't been good since.

Yeah, all the jokes about his gambling debts getting his dad killed would be awkward.
Is that actually true?

Jordan would be better, but I don't think MJ could sit through three hours of people roasting him.
Taylor Swift would be epic!
You could put this on ppv for any amount and I would pay for it. Too bad there is a zero percent chance she'd ever allow herself to be in a non-controlled environment at her expense

It's like the most famous sports conspiracy of all time and who knows… but there's a lot of smoke…
Brady was reportedly paid 5 million to do the roast. With a reported net worth of 300 million, that's 1.7% of his net worth.
Average net worth of a 40-50 year old in America is almost 600k (median is much lower but we'll use the big number). At 1.7% that equals out to about 10k for the average person Brady's age.
Not a chance in hell I would do that for 10k. Either these numbers are complete nonsense or Brady is just a glutton for punishment.

No
That being said there is no chance Jordan would agree to a roast as personally as he takes things. There are multiple former players and media personalities he doesn't speak to on the basis of very mild slights. Sam thing with Tiger Woods, I don't think his ego would allow for it.
Jeter would be kinda boring just because there's not that much there. Half the jokes would be about him being an overrated media darling. Hes just not a particularly controversial figure outside of great player debates among fans.
IMO Mike Tyson would be fantastic, mountains of stuff to go after and he's already spent half his life as a caricature so I can't imagine he would have a problem with it. Shaq is another one that would be fun. Honestly I think the best as far as sport figures go would be Jerry Jones especially if you could get Jimmy Johnson to show up, but I'm not sure if Jerry would take "any press is good press" that far.

Tyson would good. Jones' ego is too big to allow it, same as your argument against Jordan

Eh… scale it for your cache. Tom Brady attracted millions of eyeballs because millions were interested in watching it. If you scaled it to a level of people actually interested in seeing you get personally roasted, I'm sure you'd gladly take the 10k.
That's exactly my point. While 10k would be nice no chance I am taking that to be roasted in front friends and family over every horrible thing that has happened to me. In my 20's sure, who cares. But mid life, no thanks, I'm good. Brady took the equivalent of 10k to him to do it in front of millions and clips that will last forever.
I guess it would depend on what skeletons you have in the closet that someone knows about.
There's nothing you could say in front of an audience that would make me turn down 5 figures just to sit there for a few hours.

I mean, all things considered, it's not like that was legit embarrassing for Brady or anything, at least not in any tangible way. Boo hoo, his supermodel wife hooked up with a jujitsu teacher, some of his buddies gave him sh*t for it, and he had to listen to people tell him how handsome he is for three hours. I actually like Brady more now, as do so many others, it sounds like. Not to mention, it felt like Brady, Belichick, Patriot fans, etc weirdly got a certain amount closure, that era officially came to an end Sunday night, etc. Patriot super fan Bill Simmons was even talking about how cathartic the whole thing was, and overall I just think it was a big net positive for damn near everyone involved.
You're not looking at this correctly because you're trying to leverage the value of your 10k against his 5M. And you can't.guadalupeag said:

Your 10k, just being honest, is dick. His 5M, even after taxes, can be thrown in a trust for one his kids as future, real, FU, money. Or a major charitable donation. Or startup funds for something that may go nowhere or turn in to 30M in a few years.
5M for a few days, maybe a week of his time, is probably more than worth it. And as TCCTS points out, participating in that roast unquestionably will pay him dividends far beyond the 5M.
Men worth 300M don't sign up for anything not knowing what was coming at them. The roast was great, but let's not pretend Brady didn't know what was coming. Everyone, everywhere, already knew about the dirty laundry and Brady absolutely loved mushroom stamping them all with his close out.

Meh… similar to Brady, amongst my family and friends… most of it is all out there because they are family and friends. $10k to be made fun of for a couple of hours about anything in front of people who know me and then get to make fun of them about anything is a trade I'd personally make 10 out of 10 times… but people are different I guess.

Except for crypto, according to Nikki.
Alex Rodriguez would be a great one, but I think his ego is too fragile to do it, and hes trying to be taken seriously as a businessman these days.Infection_Ag11 said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Same! $10k for 2 hours of my best friends and strangers roasting me, then being able to party with them after? Sign me up!Infection_Ag11 said:

here's Andrew Schulz' podcast Flagrant -- he talks about the roast for about the first 25 minutes.
He talks about the person in the front row that received a pretty big shard of glass in her cheek from Gronk's shot glass spike.
He also talks about Dana White running his jokes by him, specifically the one where he says "My name is Dana, is that not trans enough for you liberal ****s?" and Andrew tells him that he's afraid that it wouldnt land well or get a big laugh, and Dana replies "Oh, I dont care about about that, I just want them to know I dont give a ****."
Everyone saying Taylor Swift is missing the obvious answer.
Travis Kelce would be great. Seems like a genuinely good dude, doesn't take himself too seriously.

If we are just listing hypothetical roasts that would never happen that has potential to be as good as this one, I'd think Tom Cruise or Will Smith would top the list.
Will Smith roast…only if Chris Rock gets to host it.

That's a good point. I could definitely see this paying dividends for him down the road. Either way just seemed like a small amount for a man his stature, but yeah he may be playing the long game here.

Brady has a 10 year contract worth 375 mil, not to mention all his endorsements he will make for being the goat. 5 mil is dick to him, just like 10k would be to middle aged person with an average net worth. That was my point. Just figured he would have demanded more but as TCTTS said he's probably playing the long game here.
Mike Tyson was roasted as a guest during the Charlie Sheen roast several years ago.
A Will Smith roast would potentially be useful for his career.

I'm not sure there's enough there to roast Kelce, though. Tom was great because there was enough material (cheating, Krypto, Giselle, Belichick, his weird **** with Alex Guerrero) to make jokes. And even then, the jokes towards Brady got a little repetitive.fig96 said:

Fair enough point. But that contract (which surely has a lot of outs in for both sides) is 37+ M / year and most likely just before and during the NFL season. If broken down monthly, that's $3M. That's my point. If he got paid $5M for the roast which took a week, maybe two, of his time, that's equitable.guadalupeag said:Urban Ag said:You're not looking at this correctly because you're trying to leverage the value of your 10k against his 5M.

Look at Peyton and Eli. They'll 'ho anything out that makes money. I don't think Brady is any different and why would he be. What else is he going to do? You can only bang a super model so many times a day, especially at his (my) age.
I think Shaq would be a great candidate to be roasted. He's been on several roasts himself and doesn't have the big ego
Barkley would be #2
Barkley would be #2
My favorite line during the Emmitt Smith roast years ago was Jeff Ross telling Shaq, "Shaq, your knuckles look a little scraped up, did you walk here?"

I think he's a more likeable, smarter Gronk. He's certainly not a Mensa candidate but he doesn't strike me as an idiot per se.
He's surprisingly entertaining on their podcast though Jason is the more lovable of the two. He's a sharper dude than you'd expect.Lake08 said:fig96 said:

I watched the roast this weekend and thought it was pretty damn good. Couple bits fell flat. I thought Ron Burgundy, Ben Afleck, and Bert Kreischer weren't very funny.
Disappointing too because I thought Burgundy could've been really good but I think Ferrell isn't very funny the older he gets. Kreischer just stood up there and laughed. Not funny at all.
And honestly I'm not a Kevin Hart fan at all but thought he was great in this format.
As far next up I think Tiger Woods would be fantastic

Ben Affleck pretending to be mad for Tom when it was obvious he was mad at anyone who didn't like Justice League was pretty entertaining imo.
