I turn my back on you guys for one minute, and you're out here meme-ing up a storm, making fun of Tom Brady and the poor artist tasked with sketching his likeness in court. 

You are something else, you know that?

To be fair, however, the art that emerged after Brady, his lawyers and Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared before a federal judge in New York on Wednesday was a bit, uh, raw.

Here are the sketches made of the scene cameras weren't allowed to record:

NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 12: New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady arrives at federal court to appeal the National Football League's (NFL) decision to suspend him for four games of the 2015 season on August 12, 2015 in New York City.

For the record, I have been working on LSU football all day so this is not me but an imposter at Tom Brady hearing. http://t.co/xYpWKYa95Q

Ah, yes. Really captures the tension. It's amazing what you can do with a few crayons and a Denny's place mat.

Unfortunately, you people can't appreciate abstract art, and you all had to go and make jokes about it.

I'm ashamed. That is both mean and historically inaccurate.

It just goes to show that every time someone makes something beautiful and smudgy and kind of like a Dragon Ball Z spinoff in this world, we all have to go and tear it down. Nothing innocent can last.

I'm sorry, Riley Curry. Just know your Jelly Roll pen strokes are beautiful.
