Somehow, the whole Deflategate saga just managed to get even more farcical. And it’s all thanks to a courtroom sketch artist’s, errr… less-than-flattering depiction of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at his court appearance on Wednesday.
Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell were on hand at a New York courthouse for the first federal hearing in the dispute over Deflategate. Artist Jane Rosenberg went on to illustrate the proceedings in a fairly subpar way, to say the least.

Oh the horror. From Tom Terrific to Tom Terrifying.
We knew that this Brady thing was a witch-hunt. We knew that the way this debacle was dragging out was melting all of our faces. But we didn’t think that the courtroom sketches would make Brady look literally like a witch with his face melting off.
Naturally, the Internet proceeded to have a field day with the ludicrous drawings. See them all below.

The courtroom sketch artist really did nail Tom Brady's eyes though. http://t.co/8sjSqQelBF pic.twitter.com/bLs2E9tU0t

Between these Brady sketch memes and the Geno Smith memes from Tuesday, it’s been a fun last couple of days on NFL Twitter, that’s for sure.
