Without a game to play on Thanksgiving, Tom Brady was forced to make his own fun. He apparently settled on scaring the crap out of his two young children while dressed in a low-rent turkey costume, E! Online reports. A video shared by the New England Patriots quarterback on his Facebook page shows 5-year-old Ben and 2-year-old Vivian playing in a pile of leaves when Turkey Tom pops out, gobbling and dancing.

For the children’s sake." (Read more Tom Brady stories.)
