What would Coach Belichick think?

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was photographed sporting a tiny ponytail at a carnival parade in Rio de Janeiro early Monday morning.

Brady, who went with a thick, flowing, almost Bieber-eseque do last season, was snapped in Brazil with his wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

The two are face-to-face, wearing T-shirts with corporate logos on them, and at the back of Brady's now-notorious locks can be seen a tangle of tendrils with one small, but unmistakable, ponytail peeking out.

Brady won his second AP MVP award after guiding Bill Belichick's Patriots to a 14-2 regular-season record.
