Okay, So What Was the Deal With That Enormous Jacket Tom Brady Wore Yesterday?
So the Patriots beat the Steelers 36-17 in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. It’s the seventh AFC title for the Pats since 2001. And now they’re bidding for their fifth Super Bowl during that span and blah, blah, blah…
Whatever. Let’s get to the real story from Sunday night’s game: Tom Brady‘s sideline jacket.
Look at that thing. It’s positively gargantuan. He could fit his entire offensive line under there.
Twitter had a field day with this thing. Here’s a sampling of the reaction.

I understand playoff tickets are expensive, but Tom Brady is a millionaire, he shouldn’t be sneaking people in under his coat. pic.twitter.com/zeOec8YYVm
