Days after the Tom Brady roast on Netflix, more goodies are coming out about the behind-the-scenes action that took place.
On the "Games with Names" former New England Patriots player Julian Edelman and Drew Bledsoe said things got awkward with Patriots owner Robert Kraft entered the green room.
"Pre-show, we’re in the green room," Edelman said. "Randy, Drew, me, Gronk, we were just chilling in there. Bill was opening up, he’s having fun, he’s talking war stories, talking rookies. ... we know what Bill’s about about but it was like amplified, because he’s excited to see guys because he doesn’t have a job anymore."
"Then Kraft walks in," Bledsoe said.
"The tension in that room though… could cut (expletive) glass," Edelman added.

"It was very real, it was very real," Bledsoe said. "Belichick’s kind of holding court, while as he’s in the middle of this story, Kraft walks in and you guys all go over to say hi to Kraft. The last man standing, to hear him tell it, is my bro. He’s like, 'Well, Bill’s telling this story, if I leave then he’s telling the story to nobody because everybody is saying hi to Kraft.'"
"I just walked away," Edelman said. "I didn’t want to be in there."
All seemed to be fine during the roast when Kraft joined Belichick by partaking in a shot of alcohol.
