Tom Brady sighted, but not cited, while working out at a closed Tampa park

Tom Brady has been sighted in a Florida park.

But the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback was not cited while at the park, even though the state is currently under stay-at-home orders because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Apparently there was a bit of confusion after a joint news conference Monday held by Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman. At one point, Castor told an anecdote about a staff member at a local park spotting a man working out.

“Our parks are closed down, and so a lot of our parks staff, they patrol around just to make sure people aren’t in there with contact sports and things� Castor said. “She went over to tell him that it was closed, and it was Tom Brady.�

Kriseman reacted, “Oh, my goodness!�

Castor responded: “Well, there you go. He has been sighted!�

Brady received a bit of a public scolding from the city of Tampa’s Twitter feed Monday night.

But the six-time Super Bowl champion did not receive a citation, as the city clarified in another tweet Tuesday morning.

“To clear up any confusion, @Buccaneers QB @TomBrady was SIGHTED in one of our 194 beautiful parks,� the tweet read. “He was not cited as some media outlets have reported.�
