One of Tom Brady’s former teammates was quite unimpressed with the recent roast of the quarterback.
Longtime New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker was asked Wednesday if he had a favorite joke from the roast. The answer was no, and Welker even said he was “disappointed” in the event.
“Not really. I was a little disappointed in the Brady roast,” Welker said, via Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network. “There was some funny stuff and everything, but you know, it was what it was.”
Welker added that he was not asked to attend as a presenter, and was not sorry he had missed the event.
“I was not asked to be a presenter. I was asked to sit on the side and get roasted, which I’m glad I wasn’t there. To each their own, I guess,” Welker said.
It’s not clear what Welker disliked about the roast, but his comments certainly suggest that the content bothered him. Brady himself seemed to feel the same way about certain jokes, and supposedly tried and failed to make certain topics off-limits.
Welker was a member of the Patriots from 2007 to 2012, and he and Brady were known to be close. Some of the content may have simply rubbed him the wrong way.
