It seems the former Michigan quarterback has a had a tough go of things down in Tampa already.
Earlier this week, Tom Brady, the former Wolverines team captain and new quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, went to a public park in Tampa to work out as no gyms are open due to COVID-19 social distancing mitigation. While he didn’t find himself in any actual trouble, it still made the news (and initial claims were that he was cited by a police officer, which were later debunked).
The scofflaw was none other than new Tampa resident Tom Brady, according to Mayor Jane Castor. And, yes, the superstar quarterback was sighted (not cited), she said.
Park staff came across Brady while patrolling a downtown park, Castor said Monday during a joint news briefing with St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman.”I got to tell you this story, too. Now, I always tell people, I’m not one to gossip so you didn’t hear this from me,” Castor said.
“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,” Castor said.
“And she went over to tell him that it was closed and it was Tom Brady.”
But on Thursday came another story.
On April 7, when Brady first got to town, he appeared to be staying with Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. He left the house, but it turns out it looks awfully similar to the one next door.
Thus, when Brady returned, he initially barged into the wrong house.
Kramer says he was sitting in his kitchen on the phone … when Brady straight-up barged in through the front door with duffel bags in hand. “I literally was just sitting here and I watch this tall guy just walk into my house,” Kramer says … “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.”
Brady had a little fun with the story on Twitter as a result.
Trespassing in parks, breaking and entering… Just making myself at home in Tompa Bay! 😂 https://t.co/zfm5q9zhz6

In less than a month, Brady has made the news twice for non-football reasons. What will be the next?
