Six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady got his signals crossed trying to visit his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator and walked into a neighboring house by mistake, celebrity website TMZ reported Thursday.

Brady’s blunder came April 7 as the 42-year-old quarterback, a newcomer to the Tampa area after playing the past 20 NFL seasons for the New England Patriots, searched for the home of Bucs offensive mastermind Byron Leftwich, according to TMZ.

Brady knew Leftwich was expecting him to pick up team-related materials so he just walked into the home of David Kramer without knocking, setting down two bags without realizing Leftwich’s house, which has similar white and gray paint and triangular roofs, was the larger one next door.

An apologetic Brady hustled out of the home as if he were being chased by an NFL defender.

“He was like, ‘I am so sorry. I am so sorry,” Kramer said. “Grabs his bags and just is gone. I don’t think I’ve seen someone leave a house faster.”

It wasn’t the only trouble Brady has had since the move to Florida. He was told Monday to leave a public park in Tampa when he tried to work out there in breach the city’s stay-at-home coronavirus rules.
