Here are some of Jim's comments during the roast that I've compiled via Google:
Jim Norton: "Howie Long had 99 1/2 sacks, meaning he tackled 99 QBs and Lance Armstrong."
Also from the SBNation article
> I'm truly amazed by the way that these roasters can come up with brillant jokes for ether how Lisa Lampanelli likes big instinctual dual-threat type guys who can just jump out of the gym, or how Jeff Ross is always able to find a new way to describe how strangley ugly Jim Norton is in the same type of way that Eskimos have a million words for snow.
Bradshaw's age and appearance were also brought up often. Lampanelli said he "looks like Hulk Hogan's grandfather," comedian Jim Norton said he "looks like Robert Duvall in every role after 1980," and Ross likened him to a "smiling thumb."
Comedian Jim Norton, to Jerry Lewis: "Thanks for taking time out from fact-checking 'Jurassic Park' to be here."
Norton, on Bradshaw: "Terry once said God spoke to him every morning. He just didn't know how a clock radio worked. He never thought it was weird that God gave away Aerosmith tickets."
Even though Norton didn’t know Bradshaw coming into the roast, he told For The Win beforehand that he didn’t think he’d have a problem ripping him to shreds.
“You have a little more personal angle on it when you know somebody. But it’s not that different,” Norton said. “I don’t feel all that different with Terry as I would anybody else. He’s such an easy guy because he’s so iconic and there’s so much information about him. It’s hard if you’re roasting a casino host at a hotel, which I’ve done. That’s an abomination because no one knows anything personal about him.”
According to Buffalo.com, apparently Jesse Joyce wrote Norton's material: Buffalo.com
