Tom Brady Courtroom Artist Says sorry After Sketch Goes Viral

“Obviously I apologize to Tom Brady for not making him as good-looking as he is”, she tells the New York Times.

She added, “Tell Tom Brady, I’m sorry”. Rosenberg said yesterday when asked why her moody, impressionistic sketch of Brady differed sharply from those produced by the other four sketch artists in the New York City courthouse.

Brady appealed that decision and that was upheld and now the sides are in court trying to work things out. He didn’t join the laughter of lawyers at several points, and slumped in his chair and kept his head lowered throughout the hearing. The players’ union countersued, asking him to nullify the suspension. Brady’s exchange with a childhood friend last November was contained in documents released as part of the NFLPA’s lawsuit on behalf of Brady to overturn his suspension.

But a courtroom sketch artist’s depiction of Brady delved into nearly the abstract, bringing out the best of the Internet as a result.

The public portion of the hearing ended at 12:45 p.m. ET after about one hour and 20 minutes. Brady is alleged to have known that the balls were deflated for the game.

Berman challenged the National Football League Wednesday at a Manhattan courthouse on its evidence linking New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to a practice of deflating footballs.

The two sides will file additional arguments to Judge Berman this week and reconvene in court next week if no settlement deal is reached ahead of that time.

“Turns out Mr. Brady did better with higher-inflated balls than underinflated balls”, the judge said.

Tom Brady and the players union disagree.

Nash said that there is no text message specifically showing that Brady instructed someone to put a needle in a football.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman says the legal dispute in “Deflategate” isn’t typically the kind of case to go to trial. “Those are very important initiatives”, Goodell said Tuesday after meeting with owners.

Goodell and Brady, along with their lawyers, met separately with the judge before the hearing started. His approach was surely designed to motivate Brady and Goodell to compromise by giving them each something to fear.

With the ambiguity of the Wells report and the support of the franchise, plus players in the league at large, Brady might actually skate with this one.

Furthermore, 88 percent believe that Goodell shouldn’t be the only person to decide on league disciplinary matters.

Sitting Brady may be a tactical move from New England’s perspective, designed to prepare second-year signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo. The Tom Brady problems are still floating around in Patriots camp, it seems both he and Roger Goodell are at a standstill in this lengthy battle.

Goodell was greeted by a smattering of boos as he walked inside.

Both sides are scheduled to return to court next week.

Brady is appealing a four-game suspension for his role in the deflation of footballs used in the AFC championship game in January.
