While all pretense of Tom Brady’s humanity has already fallen away in the months since the New England Patriots cheated their way to their fourth tainted Super Bowl championship, his symmetrical, conventionally handsome, if not mannequin-esque face had remained unspoiled. That is until Wednesday afternoon when New York-based courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg, accessing some heretofore unknown psychic ability at Brady’s DeflateGate hearing against the NFL, saw through the mirage mask that Brady wears as he walks upon the earth to unveil the dark creature that lives within.
Yes, the Ugg boots may have successfully covered up the cloven hooves until today, but no longer. The demonic form of Thomas Beelzebunchen Brady has been revealed, horns and all and once seen cannot be unseen.

And there he sits, freed at last from the human skinsuit and not bound to pretend that he possesses empathy, compassion, any sense of fairness or a mortal soul. Frankly, this should all be really good for his court case.
For her part, Rosenberg has been taken aback at her perfect likeness of the troll that wears Tom Brady’s face.
“Some people are sending me snippets… complaints that I made him look like Lurch or whatever,” Rosenberg told Vice Sports Wednesday. Tell Tom Brady, I’m sorry. He’s a very good looking guy and if I didn’t make him look good enough, I’ll try harder next time.”
And she did.

Well done, Jane. Well done.
The internet, as it is wont to do, reacted appropriately. Here are some favorites.
