I turn my back on you guys for one minute, and you're out here meme-ing up a storm, making fun of Tom Brady and the poor artist tasked with sketching his likeness in court.
You are something else, you know that?
To be fair, however, the art that emerged after Brady, his lawyers and Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared before a federal judge in New York on Wednesday was a bit, uh, raw.
Here are the sketches made of the scene cameras weren't allowed to record:
Les Miles @CoachLesMilesFor the record, I have been working on LSU football all day so this is not me but an imposter at Tom Brady hearing.
Ah, yes. Really captures the tension. It's amazing what you can do with a few crayons and a Denny's place mat.
Unfortunately, you people can't appreciate abstract art, and you all had to go and make jokes about it.

Bleacher Report @BleacherReportTom Brady. Woof!
Les Miles @CoachLesMilesFor the record, I have been working on LSU football all day so this is not me but an imposter at Tom Brady hearing.
I'm ashamed. That is both mean and historically inaccurate.
It just goes to show that every time someone makes something beautiful and smudgy and kind of like a Dragon Ball Z spinoff in this world, we all have to go and tear it down. Nothing innocent can last.
I'm sorry, Riley Curry. Just know your Jelly Roll pen strokes are beautiful.
