Court sketches of Tom Brady cause social

The courtroom sketch portraying the strikingly attractive New England Patriot – who also models for Ugg in his downtime – has social media buzzing for all the wrong reasons. Why bother? What’s the point for people to write these things?

Neither Brady, Goodell, nor Smith spoke at Wednesday’s hearing, other than to state their names to the court.

Two hours of morning meetings occurred a day after Judge Richard M. Berman in Manhattan oversaw more than four hours of discussions aimed at moving both sides toward a settlement of a dispute over deflated footballs that threatens to taint next month’s start of a new season.

Rosenberg opened up to ET on Thursday about the memes poking fun at her drawings, saying, “Some of them are amusing, but some people are cruel as well”.

“I may not have made him look handsome as he really is, and I apologize to the fans for that”.

No, but that’s the beauty of it. Rosenberg has already apologized for offending people who felt she misrepresented Brady’s good looks.

In a tweet featuring Brady’s sketched face superimposed over Vincent Van Gogh’s in one of the artist’s self portraits, Jody Genessy summed it up well: “Thanks to Tom Brady, we’ve discovered the Van Gogh of courtroom sketch artists”.

Rosenberg said she would try harder next time.

Jane Rosenberg has been a sketch artist for 35 years.

“I’m hired to go in and be the camera in the courtroom”, he said.

“They say there is no such thing as bad press, but this is kind of personal, that would hurt, it’s your work”, said Keane.

Her reaction to all the fuss is “it’s insane”.

Think of it this way: Most EVERYTHING you see in professional sports – drafts, trades, dress codes, salary caps – on its face and without a collective bargaining agreement – would be violations of anti-trust.
