But her likeness of Brady today s=during his Deflategate court hearing will no doubt be her most infamous sketch of all. Her name is Jane Rosenberg, a New York artist who has worked the courts for several years – sketching the likes of Woody Allen, Martha Stewart, and John Gotti. If there’s no settlement by August 19, both Brady and Goodell will have to take the witness stand next week in court. The players’ union countersued, asking him to nullify the suspension.

The Patriots also signed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Ryan Lindley this week after Matt Flynn couldn’t pass his physical.
Swarming around a courtroom sketch of Tom Brady at his Deflate-Gate trial Wednesday, Internet users superimposed the rendering of his head atop other famous images – and the results are hilarious.
The public portion of the hearing ended at 12:45 p.m. ET after about one hour and 20 minutes. “Judge Berman has asked us to appear tomorrow”.
He also pointed out that Brady actually played better with properly inflated balls in the second half. Kessler said the union does not believe the balls were deflated but, if they were, the employee did it on his own because he thought it would be good for his quarterback..
Roger Goodell and the NFL are in federal court with Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Meanwhile, the judge put the NFL on the defensive over its four-game suspension Brady, demanding to know what evidence directly links Brady to deflating footballs and belittling the drama of the controversy. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen later reported that Brady would need to “accept” the Ted Wells report to get a settlement done.
But Berman also grilled the NFL Players Association over Brady’s participation in the investigation, including why the quarterback didn’t hand over his cellphone-and, in fact, destroyed it-to Wells when he was asked to.
Berman surprisingly concentrated on the facts and stated that each side had its strengths and weaknesses.
Berman then questioned NFLPA attorney Jeffery Kessler as to why two low-level Patriots employees would act independently and deflate footballs without Brady’s knowledge, saying, “He’s the one who throws the ball”.
‘I apologise to Tom Brady for not making him as good-looking as he is, ‘ she said.
Goodell and Brady, along with their lawyers, met separately with the judge before the hearing started.
U.S. District Judge Richard Berman is meeting individually in his robing room with the sides in the scandal known as “Deflategate.”
So as good as Berman’s roasting of the league had to feel for Brady and the union, Goodell and the NFL aren’t done yet – if they don’t choose to be.
If a settlement is not reached, Berman has been encouraged to make a ruling by September 4.
A crowd gathered outside the courthouse to watch Goodell and Brady arrived.
“It’s lucky if I have a few minutes”.
“I think the questions were clearly designed to create fear on both sides (they could lose the case)”, Feldman said.
