Why Did NBC Make Tom Brady Look Like Dexter In A Sunday Night Football Promo?

Look into the eyes of Tom Brady and tell me those aren’t the eyes of a killer. And no, I’m not talking about “killer” talent, or “killer” instinct, or even a “killer bitchface” (although, that too). No, those are the eyes of a serial killer, and as you can see (and as many people on the Internet pointed out), the photo NBC used of the New England QB bears a striking resemblance to Showtime’s Dexter.

Is there a reason for that?

Is it a coincidence that NBC featured the promo of Tom Brady with serial killer eyes the night before it was revealed that Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen’s bodyguards were sentenced to five years for the attempted murder of photographers trying to sneak some shots of Tom and Giselle’s wedding nuptials? According to US Magazine, Tom and Giselle were allegedly oblivious to the fact that their bodyguards were shooting at paparazzi (*wink wink*), or maybe that’s just what the bodyguards insisted, because to say otherwise might mean their blood would end up in a slide in a hidden compartment in Tom Brady’s beach house and their bodies thrown off of Tom Brady’s yacht in individually wrapped pieces.

Or maybe the picture of Tom Brady was just taken from the Kerry Washington angle.
