Tom Brady was in a federal New York appeals court yesterday about the ongoing #Deflategate mess. New York does not allow cameras or videos in court, which is why a courtroom sketch artist created this masterpiece of Tom Brady sitting behind his lawyers in court. The sketch has already gone viral and become the biggest meme of the week – go here to see some of the memes. The sketch was made by artist Jane Rosenberg, who told Vice: “Tell Tom Brady I’m sorry. He’s a very good looking guy, and if I didn’t make him look good enough, I’ll try harder next time.” She also told the Boston Globe that her intention is not to flatter people and that Brady was checking his cell phone throughout the hearing.

As for the appeal – Tom is still trying to get his four-game suspension lifted or cut down or something. Both Tom and Roger Goodell were in the courtroom yesterday, and the whole process took hours and hours. Judge Richard Berman was apparently trying to negotiate some kind of deal between the two sides, and he met separately with each side in judge’s chambers in an attempt to get both sides to budge. Still nothing, though. Both sides (the NFL and the NFLPL) will be able to make additional arguments and filings this week and if the whole thing isn’t settled in the next few days, the judge will have to make a ruling next week. You can read more about what went down here at SB Nation.

As for Tom’s ongoing involvement in the trainwreck that is Ben Affleck’s life, I have no idea. We know for sure that Tom Brady, Affleck and the nanny were on the same private plane to Las Vegas. We know Brady let Nanny Christine wear his SuperBowl rings (DUMB) and take photos with them. And that little fact has upset some retired football players:

Brady’s fellow football players balked at the notion of a pigskin king parading around with all his jewels.

“I saw the picture and was like, ‘What the heck is he doing carrying around all his rings?’ ” former Giant Michael Strahan told The Post’s Dana Schuster.

Retired Giant Shaun O’Hara has one 2008 Super Bowl ring and says most active players don’t wear their rings, “because they don’t want to dwell on the past. By no means do I wear the ring for a random night out,” he told The Post’s Tashara Jones.

Though there’s no word of what Brady’s wife Gisele Bündchen thinks, “I know my wife would not want the nanny wearing my Super Bowl rings,” said Damien Woody, who played for the New England Patriots and has two Super Bowl rings. “I have my rings locked up.”

So not only is Tom Brady tainted by the disaster that is Ben Affleck, but Brady’s also getting significant shade for being the kind of douche-bro who brings out his SuperBowl rings for a weekend of Las Vegas partying and sketchy mistress-banging. So is it any wonder why there are new rumors about the state of Tom and Gisele’s marriage? This week’s OK Magazine (I know!) says that Tom and Gisele are “in crisis” and considering a trial separation because their sex life sucks and Gisele is too “controlling.” She wasn’t in control when Tom boarded a private plane with Ben Affleck and his mistress. Oh, and something about how Deflategate has put a strain on their marriage.

Go here to see some exclusive photos of Gisele, allegedly post-boob job and eye job. And here are some photos of Tom leaving court yesterday afternoon:
