Tom Brady wasn’t in Glendale Sunday, or was he?

No Tom Brady, no problem.
Jimmy Garoppolo made his first NFL start at quarterback for the New England Patriots Sunday night in a 23-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Much was made before the game about how New England would be missing star quarterback Tom Brady, who was serving the first of a four-game suspension for his role (whatever it may have been) in Deflategate.
Heading into the game, Cardinals fans were confident in their team’s chances to beat the Patriots due to Brady’s absence. That didn’t happen. And was Brady truly absent?
A New England fan made his way around University of Phoenix Stadium wearing a lifelike (and incredibly creepy) Brady mask while mingling with fans.

You gotta hand it to the guy, he was committed. Apparently, he wore the mask for several hours before the game and throughout the contest. That couldn’t have been easy on a day where Valley temperatures climbed over 105 degrees.
But if you’re going to commit to #FakeBrady, you’ve got to commit to the most current Brady haircut, which caused a stir on social media earlier in the preseason.
There was also no sighting of #FakeGisele. We hope everything is alright at their fake home.
