Earlier this week, NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks published his list of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL. And while this normally wouldn't catch our attention—there are about a million lists like this published every day (OK, maybe not a million, but…)—Brooks' list has caught the attention of quite a few people on the Internet because of a symbol that he decided to include in it. On his list, he listed Tom Brady No. 5. And next to his name he put this:
1.
An asterisk? Yep. An asterisk. And within his write-up, Brooks explained it by writing, "Brady's standing on this list is a reflection of the stench emanating from the Deflategate scandal (hence the asterisk)."
It'd be one thing if, say, we put an asterisk next to Brady's name. But isn't it kind of weird that the NFL's own website did it? Sound off below, angry Patriots fans!
