Someone Wanted to Watch Tom Brady Play a Bit Too Much

The bloom may have worn off the Tom Brady rose some time ago, but a New Hampshire woman's infatuation for the former New England Patriot spurred her to fork over nearly $6,000 for tickets to watch him play against his old team—except the money wasn't hers to begin with. reports that a federal judge on Thursday sentenced 39-year-old Stephanie Pratt to 30 months behind bars and three years of supervised release, following her guilty plea over the summer to a wire fraud charge. She'd been accused of stealing almost $500,000 from her employer, some of which she used to fund her 2021 trip to Gillette Stadium, where Brady had returned to face the Patriots as a quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
