Bledsoe, the ex-Patriots quarterback who eventually was replaced by Brady, already mocked the seven-time Super Bowl champion over his divorce from Gisele Bündchen during an appearance at a Netflix roast earlier this year.

“I know that Tommy will work it to death,” Bledsoe said. “I will get kind of tired of his squeaky ass voice. … But I know he’ll do a great job calling the games.”
Drew Bledsoe talked about Tom Brady’s upcoming broadcasting career.
The jab was said in jest, and Bledsoe added that he believes Brady will do well working alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
Though it was quite the quip, it felt tame in comparison to the joke he directed toward Brady at the roast.
“Hey look, buddy, you have more rings than I do, but I’ve experienced a couple of things that you will never experience: the feeling of being the No. 1 overall draft pick in the NFL, and a 28th wedding anniversary. It was yesterday,” Bledsoe said to Brady.

Bledsoe was asked by the “GMFB” crew about his time roasting Brady, and the former 14-year NFL QB said he wasn’t “too nervous about” getting on stage in front of people cracking jokes.
“That was probably the most prepared I’ve been publicly just because I had to run through it with my wife and kids because they were so nervous,” he said. “My kids each individually called me and said, ‘Alright, dad, what are you going to say?’ because they were so nervous. ‘All I hear from you are bad dad jokes and super inappropriate stuff at inappropriate times.”

He did, however, say, his wife did “veto” one joke that he won’t share with he general public.
Now, Bledsoe — and NFL fans — will have to wait just a few weeks to hear if Brady’s voice does indeed get tiresome on broadcasts.
