Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft Got Into Awkward Exchange At Tom Brady’s Roast

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former head coach Bill Belichick took part in Tom Brady’s roast and wasn’t their best encounter. The tension between these two was present in the air. Belichick led the Patriots to nine Super Bowls and helped them win six titles. The Patriots weren’t really lucky following Brady’s departure and Belichick is no longer part of the team.

Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman talked about the tension between Belichick and Kraft on the “Games With Names”.

“Bill’s opening up, he’s having fun, he’s talking war stories, we’re talking rookies, we’re talking fun s—t, doing s—t we know Bill’s all about. But it was amplified because he was excited to see guys because he doesn’t have a job anymore,” Edelman said before revealing he, Bledsoe, Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, and Bledsoe’s brother and friend were in the room.

“The funny thing is — or interesting thing is, I think — I was kind of gone when it first sort of happened, but then Kraft walks in,” Bledsoe said. “So my brother was feeling sorry for himself because he’s over there and Belichick is kind of holding court. Well, as he’s in the middle of the story, Kraft walks in, and so you guys all go over to say hi to Kraft and the last man standing is my bro, and he’s like ‘Well, Bill’s telling the story. If I leave, then he’s telling the story to nobody because everybody’s over saying hi to Kraft.’

“But they did break it down and got together for probably, I don’t know, 10 minutes, at least the two of them.”

Former Patriots players get honest about the awkward Belichick situation during Brady’s roast

Belichick and Kraft had a conversation together and tried to act professional. However, former Patriots players couldn’t ignore the tension between them. According to Edelman, it could cut glass. It was a really awkward situation for everyone involded.

“The tension in that room, though, it could cut f—ing glass,” Edelman said. “It was so awkward. I was watching coach, and I tried to give coach a heads up. I see Kraft walk in, I’m like, ‘Yo coach, woo,’ you know, some locker room s—t, like ‘5-0, 5-0.’ Of course, he didn’t f—ing see it. He came in and I was like, ‘Oh s–t there’s going to be some fireworks.’ I just walked away, I didn’t want to get in there.”
