Brady Courtroom Artist’s Second Effort? Sketchy.

September 1, 2015

Poor Jane Rosenberg, the courtroom artist whose drawing of Tom Brady during a Deflategate hearing, well, blew up last month. Rosenberg got her mulligan yesterday, a matter of great interest here in Bradyville.

The Boston Globe’s Namesniks gave her new sketch a thumb’s up.

Artist has second shot at sketching Tom Brady

Everyone likes a good comeback story. On Monday, courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg got hers.IMG_3594A

Rosenberg made national news Aug. 12 after her less-than-flattering sketches of Tom Brady from his Deflategate hearing went viral. She told the Globe that day, of her courtroom work, “I don’t tend to flatter people and make them look beautiful.” Later she said she received hundreds of e-mails from fans who were unhappy with the depiction of their quarterback. But on Monday, after Brady left the courtroom, Rosenberg unveiled her new look for the Patriots star. Looks more like the guy we know, right?

 

Actually, no, according to crosstown rival Boston Herald.

Artist’s 2nd Brady sketch draws different critiques

Courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg got another crack at drawing Tom Brady following a disastrous first attempt that depicted the Patriots quarterback as ghoulish and uncomely, opening her up to ridicule and scorn from Patriots nation.

Unfortunately, her second sketch bears a striking resemblance to the wrong All-Pro quarterback.

Trying to tone down the rigid features she gave Brady’s lower face in the first sketch, Rosenberg ended up extending and stretching Brady’s forehead, creating a figure that more closely resembles his rival, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

 

Ouch.


Globe’s Dan Shun-nessy Is ExPatriot

January 15, 2014

Once again, Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy is the skunk at the garden party.

Today’s stink bomb:

Sorry, the Patriots are going to lose

The Broncos are going to beat the Patriots Sunday.

Sorry, that’s just the way I see it. I am not rooting for the Broncos. I am not into Satanic worship. Please do not kill my whole family. I am often wrong Screen Shot 2014-01-15 at 11.57.08 AM(remember the 2013 Red Sox, destined for last place?) and hopefully for New England fans, I will be wrong again.

The Patriots have proven folks wrong time and again. Overcoming doubters is the foundation of the Patriot franchise.

Doubting the Patriots this weekend is hardly a daring position. They are significant underdogs in Vegas. Most of the national TV panel guys will pick against New England. Some of the handicapping local car dealers will pick the Broncos. There might even be a footy-pajama fanboy or two with doubts about the Patriots’ ability to beat Peyton Manning.

So I am a doubter . . .

 

A doubter? Not in Denver, Danny Boy. There you’re a hero. You even made the homepage of the First-and-Orange BroncoBlog (look lower left).

You don’t see the Boston Herald being fêted in the Mile High City, do ya Danno?

No.

Final word goes to Roger Bournival at Dan Shaughnessy Watch (“We read him so you don’t have to”):

For what it’s worth, Tom Brady is 10-4 in head-to-head matchups with Peyton Manning. If Shank thinks the Patriots are going to lose, that’s all I need to take the Patriots.

 

‘Nuf ced.
