Tom Brady was back in the courtroom on Monday - for a whopping four minutes - for a settlement hearing in his case against the NFL in the Deflategate scandal.
Also back in the court on Monday was Jane Rosenberg, the artist behind the infamous courtroom sketch of Brady that launched a thousand memes.
Rosenberg met with the media outside the courtroom and showed off a practice sketch of Brady that is much more flattering. Clearly Rosenberg is a talented artist and that shines through when she has more than a few seconds to sketch a courtroom full of people.

However, in the courtroom, things turned out a little differently, with Rosenberg calling it "a nightmare." Rosenberg only had a few minutes and Brady was sitting in the back of the courtroom with numerous people between him and Rosenberg. This was the result.

In showing off the sketch to the media, Rosenberg acknowledged that it was not the best portrait of Brady. "I still think I made him look like Lurch," Rosenberg said and later added that she is just glad it is over.
