What is it with Tom Brady and his unflattering connection to composite sketches?
The New England Patriots quarterback probably was minding his own business Tuesday when Stormy Daniels, the porn star who claims she had an affair with Donald Trump, released a composite sketch of the man who she says threatened her to keep quiet about the alleged affair in 2011.

This story, of course, has nothing to do with Brady. But folks on Twitter apparently thought the man in the sketch looked a whole lot like TB12.

With the way 2018 is going, Tom Brady threatening Stormy Daniels wouldn’t be unrealistic https://t.co/KEuuTiBhX6

You get the idea.
We’ll grant there’s some resemblance to Brady here — more specifically the 2011 version of Brady — but it’s certainly not uncanny. (Not to be party poopers, but the sketch does say the man is between 5-foot-9 and 6 feet, while Brady stands at 6-foot-4.)
The internet already has taken off and run with this though, so the Patriots QB will have to confront the bizarre fact that his name will be trending alongside “Stormy Daniels” for the next couple days.
