A Tampa man got a surprise visit earlier this month when Tom Brady barged into his house looking for Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.
According to TMZ, on April 7, the six-time Super Bowl champ was supposed to meet Leftwich at his house for the first time after signing his $50 million contract with the Bucs. However, Leftwich’s house is almost identical to the one next door, which is owned by local man David Kramer.
Kramer told the outlet he was sitting in his kitchen talking on the phone, when the G.O.A.T. just walked in without knocking, carrying two duffle bags.
"I literally was just sitting here and I watch this tall guy just walk into my house," said Kramer to TMZ. "He didn't even look at me. He just like dropped his duffel bags down on the floor and just kind of like looked up at me and I'll never forget the look on his face."
According to Kramer, Brady responded with “Am I in the wrong house?!”
"He was like, 'I am so sorry! I am so sorry!'" said Kramer. "Grabs his bags and just is gone. I don't think I've seen someone leave a house faster!"
TMZ reports that Brady was attempting to pick up new materials from his coach.
This isn’t the first report of Brady being somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be. Earlier this week, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said Brady was booted from a local park that was shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Our parks are closed down; and so a lot of our parks staff, they patrol around just to make sure that people aren't doing contact sports and things like that, and saw an individual working out in one of our downtown parks," said Castor in a video. “And she went over to tell him that it was closed, and it was Tom Brady.”
Poor, Tom.
