NFL: Brady visits a (fictional) massage parlor

Okay, this is funny 

Brady cameo in Netflix series causes a stir

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, as noticed on Friday night by Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, makes a cameo in a new Netflix show starring Paul Rudd.

In a limited, out-of-context clip from Living With Yourself, Rudd’s character nervously pulls his vehicle up to a strip-mall massage parlor. As Rudd seems to decide to abort his plan to visit the Top Happy Spa, the door swings open.

Out walks Brady, looking quite refreshed. As Brady walks toward his chauffered SUV, Rudd gawks.

“First time?” Brady asks.

Rudd answers affirmatively. He then asks, “You?”

“Six,” Brady says with a smile.

The joke is obvious, but the scene’s connection to the broader story isn’t. The “Top Happy Spa” isn’t a front of illegal sexual activity; it’s a front for a cloning operation. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Brady didn’t realize that the scene would be a direct or indirect reference to the ongoing legal entanglements of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Indeed, the cameo was in the works before January 2019. Per the source, when Brady initially approved the script, the “six” was a “five,” because it was written before the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl championship in February.

Robinson’s article provides some background on the scene, from the show’s producer. Show creator Timothy Greenberg assumed Brady would cancel the cameo after the Kraft incident came to light. So if Brady didn’t realize the reference to the Kraft situation, maybe he should have.

Randomly watched some of this last night and the Brady cameo was perfection once the context becomes apparent in the following scenes.

Hilarious. Dex, you're funny as hell too.

[Jon Snow]

That's hilarious!

I know this was made before the sex scandal broke, but in light of that, it should have been shelved. Sex trafficking, sometimes involving underage girls, is not humorous. Also not humorous that rich men with enough money get away with just about anything while the poor rot in prison. Again, I don't blame Brady for any of that, but I think it was in poor taste to proceed with releasing this.

Brady saying he didn't realize it would be a shot at kraft..

It looks like Tom partied with 6 girls at once and is very pleased.  Just based on the clip.

Remember that time that Tom Brady was on the massage table and made his son give him a kiss on the lips?
