BRADY BUNCH PUNT AT PUMPKINS

-

Tom Brady may seem otherworld­ly on the football field, but he and his family celebrate Halloween just like us mere mortals — failed attempts to carve a pumpkin included.

The Brookline fam apparently tried their hand at customaril­y slicing and dicing gourds this weekend, and the GOAT acknowledg­ed that it wasn’t his best work.

“I’m trying!!!” a self-aware Brady wrote in an Instagram story that revealed his crudely carved creation. The lopsided expression on the vegetable obviously left the athlete looking for answers, and he polled his followers to determine whether the face looked happy or sad. Personally, we’ll give TB12 a pass on his lackluster jack-o’-lantern skills — because everyone knows his hands were meant for throwing, not wielding knives in an artistic fashion.

While our quarterbac­k was hard on his own carving capabiliti­es, he eased up his judging criteria when it came to his supermodel wife, Gisele

Bundchen. Brady gave mad props to “Mrs. Brady’s” finished pumpkin product, scoring the “spooky” work of art at a generous 100/100.

The famous family’s minimember­s also took part in the festive fun. Ever the proud father, Brady showed off his kid’s eery opera for all the Insta-verse to see. Ben , 8, managed to make a pumpkin so beastly that Brady said it looked like it went full cannibal and consumed one of its own; while Vivian, 5, shined as the clear creative frontrunne­r in the family, transformi­ng her seedy specimen into a unicorn.

Now that the carving is complete, the question remains: Will the Brady bunch version of the pumpkin toss have everyone going long?
