Tom Brady is still adjusting to his surroundings in his new home of Tampa, and it’s taking some adjustments.
After not being able to find a gym earlier this week, the new Buccaneers QB was kicked out a closed park by a Parks & Rec staffer on patrol. Prior to that incident, Brady was also involved in an accidental home invasion after hilariously entering a random stranger’s home thinking he was in his new quarterbacks coach, Byron Leftwich’s place.
ESPN –
Per TMZ, on April 7, Brady had planned to visit the home of offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. Brady walked into the home next door without knocking before coming face-to-face with the homeowner and realizing he was in the wrong home.
A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed the incident to ESPN and said that Brady and Leftwich were trying to follow social distancing guidelines, having Brady come to pick up materials from his new coach rather than staying over there. The source said Leftwich had been expecting him, which might explain why he didn’t knock first.
“I’m sitting here, and I see this big shadow come up to my front door … and I hear my doorknob turning … and I’m like, What the hell? Like, who’s coming in my house?” homeowner David Kramer told the website. “I literally was just sitting here, and I watch this tall guy walk in my house.”
Kramer had left his front door unlocked because he’s selling his home and had multiple people over to see his property, he said. But he wasn’t expecting company at this point.
Brady was carrying duffel bags, and he dropped them on the floor as he looked up at Kramer.
“And he goes, ‘How’s it going, man?'” Kramer said. “And sarcastically I’m like, ‘I don’t know. You tell me, dude.’ Like, who are you? And then he looked at me with the most confused face. I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life.

“He just goes, ‘Am I in the wrong house?!’
“I said, ‘I think so. But who are you looking for? Where are you supposed to be?’ And he said, ‘Is this Byron’s house?'”
Brady immediately apologized before darting out the door. Kramer said he froze for several seconds, trying to comprehend what had just happened. He then rushed back outside to try to get a photo, but Brady was already walking into Leftwich’s home. Kramer said his home looks similar to Leftwich’s.
It appears the homeowner has no hard feelings.
“People make fun of me because I play the lottery,” Kramer said. “But somebody has to win the lottery.”
