    Fake Tom Brady gains attention at media day, sort of resembles Tom Brady

    A Missouri man who sort of looks like Tom Brady, if Tom Brady still rocked long hair and ever had a beard, drew the attention of the press at Tuesday's Super Bowl media day in Indianapolis.

    Nick Lower, 26, shares the same pigmentation and hair color as the New England Patriots quarterback. That, combined with a No. 12 jersey, actual NFL pants, cleats and some eye black stickers was enough to land some interviews and photos while the Pats fielded questions at Lucas Oil Stadium.

    "This was my Halloween costume this year," Lower told Dan Hanzus of NFL.com, "so we saw the Patriots were coming to Indianapolis [and] being from Columbia, Mo., we thought we'd take the trip and make an effort to see the Patriots and see them at media day."

    Lower told reporters he was surprised at the attention he was getting.

    "I didn't really expect this," he said while wearing full pads and game pants. "I figured all the attention would be on the players, but I guess I get a glimpse of what Tom Brady deals with every day."

    Clearly he overestimated the availability of legitimate news that comes out of Super Bowl media day.

        then a lot of people must be stupid to go running towards him for an Interview, plus A Pic can change someones feature, you kind of have to watch if there was a vid but there isnt.

      Chris Chase kinda reminds me of Kramer on the episode of Seinfeld where he went to the place and pretended to work there.

      Chris Chase posts a story about a fake Tom Brady that doesn't look like Tom Brady, sort of resembles a legitimate writer.

        Ramon I will hardly believe that anyone who has read Chase's previous articles will actually read this post. I'll tell you how this works, if you're good at maths, you should understand this little thing. iff Author = Chris Chase = skip to comments.
        As a matter of fact and record, the comments on Chris Chase's articles are more interesting than the articles themselves and no one really reads them lately anyways.

      Dude doesn't even slightly resemble Brady...so why is this a story...Ohh wait...its because Chris Chase doesn't even slightly resemble an actual reporter...Yahoo really needs to list who wrote the stories on the front page so we all don't have to waste our time clicking on Chase's crap which he labels a news story!

        And then we all wouldn't have to waste our time writing in the comments about how awful Chris Chase is...I mean seriously....when I read this crap I just can't help myself from listing my opinion of his reporting skills....ITS JUST SO BAD!

        The best part of a Chris Chase article is the comment section...so I stand corrected...I'd still click on his articles but would save time by skipping right to the comments! CHRIS CHASE --- HOW DO YOU STILL HAVE A JOB AS A WRITER???

      I'm a 5'6 female with blonde hair. If I throw on a Brady jersey does that mean people will think I look like him too?

      Chase used a big word. "Pigmentation" instead of color. So anybody with the same hair pigmentation who uses eye black and puts on a number 12 jersey is magically Tom Brady. Maybe more girls can have hope of being Giselle if they get the hair pigmentation right. Thanks Chris Chase. There is hope for everyone. Maybe if you get your hair pigmentation right one day you will resemble a real writer.

      I was there. Just got back and we did see the guy walking around. He was dressed like it but looked nothing like him when you saw his face. just thought he was an idiot for walking around like that.

      I hate Chris Chase. He is the dumbest sports writer ever. And I am the one to blame. His articles always seem to be inviting and when you see the body of work, you just have to wonder why you wasted 2 minutes of your life. Please get rid of this guy. We should ban this man.
