Playing in an NFL  record seventh Super Bowl this Sunday, there isn’t much left that Tom Brady hasn’t seen in the week leading up to the big game. From wedding proposals,  to requests for autographed soccer balls, not a whole lot of surprises can get past Brady at this point in his career.

That is until teammate Martellus Bennett decided to try a little prank.

Hiding behind a curtain away from the podium, the Patriots tight end yelled out a high pitched “Hiiiiiii Tom” right in the middle of Brady’s press conference.

Perplexed by the noise, Brady looked back then turned to the reporters and said that “scared the sh*t out of” him.

Despite not seeing who the culprit was at first, Brady knew right away that Bennett was behind it, telling him he needed to “go rest.”
