After being mocked, sketch artist apologizes for rendering of Tom Brady
On Wednesday, Tom Brady was in New York as he argued against his four-game suspension from the NFL for “Deflategate” in front of a U.S. District Court.
That was all fine and dandy, but then came the first artist renderings:

“I’m getting bad criticism that I made him look like Lurch,” she told the New York Times, referring to the Addams Family character. “And obviously I apologize to Tom Brady for not making him as good-looking as he is.”
