The New York sketch artist’s courtroom drawing of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (above) at his federal court hearing to try to get his “Deflategate” suspension reduced is a viral sensation. The sketch has been criticized as making Brady look like an aging cartoon villain or like his face is melting. It’s been superimposed upon “E.T.,” Michael Jackson performing “Thriller” and the figure inEdvard Munch’s “The Scream,” depictions that make Rosenberg laugh. But the scores of nasty e-mails do not. “I’m really having a rough time. This is so not my life,” Rosenberg said. “I thought I might crawl under a pillow and never come out.” She said, “It wasn’t my goal to make a photograph of him in the building but to show the feeling of what was going on.”
Usain Bolt
The Olympic gold medalist is returning to the stadium in which he became a star when the world track and field championships begin next Saturday at the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. The $450 million, 91,000-seat stadium, latticed with steel beams, was the centerpiece of the 2008 Beijing Games. Bolt, a 6-foot-5 Jamaican, redefined what is possible at the Olympics by winning gold medals and setting world records in three events — the 100 meters, 200 and the 4x100 relay. Now 29 and the man to beat at the Rio Games next year, he says he’s made lifestyle adjustments to stay on top: fewer parties, more vegetables. “I have to be real careful, have to be aware of everything around me to make sure I’m on point,” said Bolt, who made Chicken McNuggets his dinner, and lunch, of choice at the 2008 Olympics.
