LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Betty Cantrell, named Miss America eight days ago, should be totally focused on the crown. Instead, she's still thinking about the New England Patriots.
Cantrell told The Associated Press in a recent interview that when she was asked in the pageant's question-and-answer section whether Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cheated by using deflated footballs, she thought her answer might keep her from winning the crown.
Initially, Cantrell said she wasn't sure, then she went further: ''I'd have to see the ball and feel it. If there's any question, then yes, he cheated.
