Tom Brady Shot at Dak Upsets People
Talking about his first game, in the upcoming 2024-5 season, Brady said, “Obviously having the Cowboys on is a huge draw, as America’s team,” Brady said. “That’s gonna get a little hard for me to say that all the time. I understand. They were the competition for a long time but in this new role, I know the Cowboys, how important they are to this network. They’ve got great storylines. Come on, Dak Prescott, let’s see if he can finally come through.” The reaction was shocked, murmurs, so Brady added, “Did that just slip out?”
Don’t bitch at Brady. Dak knows he’s a disappointment.
Aaron Rodgers Tells Tucker Bout RFK Asking Him About Being VP
“I was interested when Bobby came to me and said, ‘Would you think about being my running mate?’ And I said, ‘Are you serious? I’m a fucking football player.’ But I love this country, and I’d love to be a part of bringing it back to what she used to be.”
This just shows how batshit RFK is.
Tom Brady Says No He Would Not Do Another Roast
“I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun,” Brady admitted. “I didn’t like the way that it affected my kids, so it’s the hardest part about like the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize I wouldn’t do that again because of the way that affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world.”
Everyone knows comics don’t give a shit who they hurt in a roast.

Aubrey Plaza Talks About Megalopolis
She said about Francis Ford Coppola, “He’s got such a magical way of directing and inspiring actors. You can feel it when you watch his movies and I felt it when I worked with him. It was everything that I had hoped for. And I think ultimately, he is just a brilliant storyteller, and he has something to say, I think. Every movie that he makes, there is a passion behind it. It feels like there is a reason for it. It’s pure in an artistic sense. Even though he’s obviously commercially successful through the years, it never seems like it’s about that. It’s just that he wants to tell stories and he wants to play with actors. So, it’s my favorite stuff.”
Two names we never thought we’d see together. Aubrey Plaza and Francis Ford Coppola.
