Former NFL star quarterback Drew Bledsoe took a ton of heat during Sunday night’s Netflix roast of Tom Brady, but he proved he could dish it out too — with a little help from his wife.
Bledsoe remarked about how defenders couldn’t get to Brady during his career and then zinged him with a joke about the end of his marriage to Gisele Bündchen.

"Obviously, buddy, you got really used to not being touched — just like the end of the marriage," he said.
On Monday, Bledsoe was on the "Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz" and revealed the Bündchen joke came with a little help from his wife.
"My bro, one of the funniest humans I know, he helped out," Bledsoe began. "And I’m gonna get in really, really big trouble for this, but I’m willing to wear it. The Gisele joke, that actually came from my wife. Don’t tell her I told you.

Bledsoe didn’t say the joke he initially wrote.
Meanwhile, People reported Bündchen was left "deeply disappointed" with the jokes hurled at her during the roast and that their two children were "affected."
