Tom Brady was back in court on Monday for a Deflategate hearing, and the now-infamous Jane Rosenberg was once again tasked with drawing a quick sketch of the New England Patriots quarterback.
We’d definitely call that an improvement, especially when you consider that the hearing lasted less than five minutes. If you want to know how much her first sketch of Brady has been talked about in recent weeks, just look at how many members of the national media swarmed Rosenberg on Monday.

Rosenberg, who said she received hate mail after her first drawing earlier this month, told reporters that trying to draw Brady in such a short amount of time on Monday was a “nightmare.”
“I couldn’t even see him,” she said, noting that she basically had to work from memory. “It was really a nightmare.”
Does she think she did a better job this time?
“I don’t know. … I still think he looks a little like ‘Lurch’ [from the Adams Family],” Rosenberg joked. “I’ve been under tremendous pressure. I don’t like being in the limelight. I’m ready to go to the background where I belong and just be an artist.”
Like the rest of us, Rosenberg is ready for Deflategate to be over. She even spent time in her apartment practicing drawing Brady so her sketch wouldn’t be criticized as much this time around. While no one should ever take a court sketch that seriously, we’re thrilled Rosenberg’s first attempt at drawing Brady left us with these hilarious memes.
