Julian Edelman Roast of Tom Brady Will Get '90s Kids Feeling Nostalgic

Julian Edelman couldn't pass up the opportunity to drop a nostalgic reference while roasting his friend and longtime former New England Patriots teammate Tom Brady on Monday night.

Edelman shared a photo of T.J. Detweiler, the main character on the late 1990s animatedABCseriesRecess, in reference to now Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback wearing a backwards hat on during an appearance alongside former NFL rivals Peyton and Eli Manning on the ManningCast edition of Monday Night Football.

"Tom on Manning Cast rn," Edelman tweeted, which has since gotten more than 7,000 likes as of Tuesday afternoon.

Trolling Brady seems to be Edelman's favorite post-retirement activity, as he's gone viral multiple times for jokes directed at his longtime teammate's expense.

In August, Edelman hilariously wished Brady a happy 44th birthday by acknowledging one of the quarterback's few career lapses.

The former wide receiver shared a video on his verified Instagram account featuring an edited version of Brady's viral video showcasing the quarterback playing catch with a jugs machine, throwing two passes into the machine, which shoots them back out before dropping back and firing one last throw through the machine, causing it to fall over and spit the ball back into the air.

In Edelman's video, however, a caption of "*high five attempt*" is placed over the football, and "*teammate*" is placed over the jugs machine during Brady's first throw, before a clip of the seven-time Super Bowl champion awkwardly holding up his hand for an unreciprocated high-five from his then-Patriots teammates is spliced in.

The clip cuts back to Brady's game of catch, with the caption "*denied*" placed over the football as it sails back to him.

On the second throw, the caption "*referee*" is placed over the jugs machine and "*high five attempt*" once again over the football, followed by a clip of Brady being denied a high five from a referee during the 2020 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady then takes a few steps back and fires off a throw with "*birthday high five*" captioned over the football on the throw that caused the machine to topple over, which is followed by a clip of Edelman aggressively giving him a high five on the sideline during their time together in New England.

Edelman captioned the Instagram post, "Will someone give my friend @tombradya high five today? It’s his birthday. HBD bubs 🎂"

Brady had also taken playful jabs at some of his favorite former wide receiver targets, including Edelman, prior to his former teammate's birthday post.

The 44-year-old quarterback shared a video of himself throwing passes to three young boys, who he addresses as "Welker," "Edelman" and "Amendola," in reference to the recently retired receiver and fellow former Patriots teammates Wes Welker and Danny Amendola, all of whom were considered "undersized" by the average standards of the NFL wide receiver position.

Brady finished the video with a shoutout to longtime former Patriots and current Buccaneers teammate Rob Gronkowski, excitedly asking, "where you at Gronk?"

"Great to have Wes, Jules, and Danny out in Montana this week! Just missing my tightest tight end @WesWelker @Edelman11 @DannyAmendola @RobGronkowski," Brady tweeted along with the video.

Both Edelman and Gronkowski responded to Brady's post, with Edelman quote-tweeting, "This feels like an attack" and Gronkowski replying, "Sorry I couldn't make it, I'm busy tightening up my end even more."

Edelman announced his retirement in April after spending his entire 12-year NFL career with the Patriots, playing alongside Brady every year prior to the 2020 campaign, and ranks second in franchise history for career receptions (620), fourth in receiving yards (6,822), and ninth in receiving touchdowns (36.)

The 34-year-old was part of three Super Bowl teams, including the Patriots' most recent championship, which saw Edelman earn MVP honors in Super Bowl LIII.
