    Patriots remind me of "Quiz Show"

    For the past 6 years the Patriots and their QB have been praised for their "perfect and timely execution" of screen passes and their offense in general. Running screens when you know there's a blitz coming and to what side the blitz is coming from makes it pretty easy to be effective.

    Knowing what we know today, it's incredible how the whole Patriot's cheating scandal parallels the game show scandal of the 1950s and the movie by Redford. In the movie the stuffed shirt All-American guy (Charles Van Doren) is getting all the answers before he's asked the the questions. Of course he then acts like he didn't have any advantage of any kind.

    Funny thing about it is that just like the Patriot's scandal, it wasn't just a movie. The cheating was going on and has been exposed. There'll be those that claim Brady had nothing to do with it, but when you're theone getting the "answers" passed to you, you're just as guilty as your mentor.

      Wow, you might have had something there... But it was horribly executed.
      BERNIAC!
