{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Brady stunned those watching his Netflix roast special on Sunday night when he ran up in defense of Robert Kraft and told comedian Jeff Ross not to "say that s--- again" after the roast master cracked a Robert Kraft massage joke.
Ross, however, appeared on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Monday and said he talked with the New England Patriots owner after the show and all was well.

"C’mon… No way. … He’s having fun," Ross said. "It’s like, that’s his dad. Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him. He was just showing his love to Robert Kraft. And Robert Kraft loved it. We had a great talk afterward. He was so happy that I gave him a shoutout."
It seemed to be the only joke that was off limits.
During Ross’s joke presentation, he mentioned Brady being taken 199th overall in the NFL Draft, and he said he walked into Kraft’s office to tell him something.

In February 2019, Kraft was charged in a multicounty investigation of massage parlors that included a secret video recording in the spas’ lobbies and rooms. Police said the recordings showed Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them.
