re: Tom Brady Roast live on Netflix

Comedy Central would have neutered it big time, plus cut half of it out to fit commercials

Comedy Central roasts went downhill at the end. "We roast the ones we love" is just became a lie and it ended up being a random celebrity publicity tour. The Rob Lowe roast was the worst of these offenders (Jewel? Ann Coulter?)

This was closer to form. Everyone on stage was either a professional commedian or had an actual tie to Brady. The two semi-exceptions were some of the weak spots: Will Ferrell (Comedic actor, not necessarily comedian) and Ben Affleck (Actor, but at least he has New England heritage and is a fan of Patriots, so it's not quite random).

The Tom and Burt bit sucked, but those are actual comics so you can at least justify why they would be invited.
