In the history of the NFL, there has never been a quarterback more successful than Tom Brady. He put together a masterclass career split between the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now, Brady is part of the Las Vegas Raiders' ownership group. He has remained very active within the NFL, including becoming a broadcaster.

Back on May 5, 2024, Brady participated in a roast aimed at himself. He thought it would be a fun idea and fans enjoyed watching it. However, it had an impact that he did not anticipate.

Brady's family was brought up quite a bit in the roast, with many of the speakers firing shots about his ex-wife and the mother of his children. That was not easy on Brady's kids.

During an interview this week on "Impaulsive," Brady reveled that he wishes that he hadn't done the roast due to how it impacted his children.

"It was tough on my kids for sure... There are some things as a parent you (expletive) up and don't realize until after," he said.

Throughout his career, Brady has always remained an active father. His divorce has been difficult, but it has impacted his kids as well.

Hearing all of the negative comments and jokes about the divorce would be difficult for any child.

Despite doing the roast and regretting it, the fact that Brady can open up about it is a good thing. It's a good lesson for anyone in a similar situation to the one that he is in.

As for his current career, Brady has confirmed that he will return to the broadcasting booth for the 2025 season. Fans will likely hear many more stories from Brady throughout the upcoming year.
