Bucs, Tom Brady Won't Be Penalized for QB's Visit with Coach

First, it was just a funny story about Tom Brady walking into the wrong house.

Then, it turned into a punchline for Brady trying to skirt NFL rules, having a meeting with his new offensive coordinator that was against NFL offseason regulations.

Turns out we can still just laugh about Brady's unintentional B&E.

The league investigated the situation and determined that no league rules were broken by Brady's brief visit to pick up his new playbook from Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich:

The NFL made an inquiry into Tom Brady’s recent visit to #Bucs OC Byron Leftwich’s house and determined there was no violation of offseason work rules, per league spokesman @NFLprguy. “It was a brief personal visit and Tom picked up the playbook.”

Other teams raised the issue with the NFL, since Brady's visit to Leftwich's house -- revealed because he accidentally walked into a neighbor's house first -- occurred during the "dead period" prior to the virtual period of the offseason. But the league says no violation occurred https://t.co/ijZCgva5oB

Brady has been trying to get his bearings in his new city, but in recent weeks has been kicked out of a Tampa park that was closed due to COVID-19, and mistakenly entered the wrong house while trying to meet up with Leftwich.

As you were, everyone. You can go back to your deflated football jokes now.
