Jason Kelce On Brady Roast: 'My Family is Ruined, It's So Funny'

The Roast of Tom Brady created a lot of buzz, with many asking who will be the next person to be the butt of jokes, but one thing is pretty certain, it doesn't seem like it's going to be former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

"It was pure entertainment and I’m really happy they did it but I just don’t get the roasts," Kelce said on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, per The New York Post. "I don’t know why people do it. Maybe I take myself too seriously."

Well, I think we all know the reason people are willing to get roasted. Cold hard cash.

Real cash. Not cryptocurrency. Tom isn't falling for that one again.

However, there is an element of prestige that comes with getting roasted. They don't roast nobodies. They roast people who are at the top of their fields, are respected, and are considered to be icons… and David Hasselhoff.

It's clear that Brady fit the bill because the laundry list of people who turned up to be on hand was pretty astounding.

"It was star-studded. The best part about it was how many just iconic NFL and celebrities of immense stature that were there," Kelce said. "Not to mention the entire Patriots dynasty showing up for Tom. That being said, I really don’t f--king get it. 

"I don’t get why people do roasts. I don’t get why they are a thing. ‘Haha, yeah, my family’s ruined, it’s so funny, everyone’s laughing, it’s great, we’re having fun.’ Yeah right.'"

I think Kelce does have a point. Everyone thinks a roast will be fun and that they have thick enough skin to handle it. Then the barrage of jokes starts and the next thing you know, you turn into Chevy Chase, hiding your rage behind sunglasses.

Plus, it's somewhat inevitable that those around will be dragged into the fray, but you know that when you agree be roasted.

Well, at least Kelce is self-aware enough to know that he wouldn't fare well sitting on stage while Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser throw haymakers at him.
