While his actual appearance in the eventual game was short-lived to say the least (1-for-4, 10 yards in a quarter of play), Tom Brady made his presence known to New England Patriots fans when he was announced to the crowd at Gillette Stadium ahead of the team’s preseason showdown with the Green Bay Packers by strolling out to Jay Z’s “Public Service Announcement.”

Nice, but Falco’s “Der Kommissar” would have been even more apropos.
Of course, the tune is Brady’s traditional walk-out music, but the song’s opening line, “Allow me to reintroduce myself,” obviously carried extra meaning and added significance given the quarterback’s battle with the NFL over his four-game suspension.
