Tom Brady, the purported golden boy of the New England Patriots football club, has been caught in Manhattan “high crime” area Greenwich Village trying to slink into a potential west village crack house incognito.

Greenwich Village, long known for its reefer-smoking, poetry-spouting beatniks, has become Brady’s “comfort zone” while hiding out from teammates and coaches who want to know what happened to the potted plants that were brought in to grace the Patriots locker room following their lucky victory grab from the San Diego Chargers.

Brazen Brady had no qualms about carrying a large satchell, believed to contain the cash from selling off the rights to his jersey number, which is commonly used by low-life drug addicts to purchase their “fix”.

New York Giants injured tight end, Jeremy Shockey, happened to be standing on the opposite side of the street when Brady rolled up, and was believed to be telling Brady that his shoelace was untied.

Former Mayor Rudy Guiliani, asked what he thought about this shocking turn of events, said, “I didn’t know she was my second cousin.  That would be disgusting.”
