When it comes to Tom Brady preparing for Super Bowl LIII, there are plenty of labels you could use to describe him to the viewing public.
“New England Patriots quarterback” is the simple one. “Five-time Super Bowl champion” could be popular. “14-time Pro Bowler” is impressive even if the man himself disagrees. The legendary quarterback has no shortage of accolades that could be used, but there is also that one negative thing that opposing fans are quick to throw out. As well as opposing news stations, apparently.
Whoever ran the chyrons at KDKA, a CBS affiliate located in Pittsburgh, took that negative thing and ran with it, labeling Brady as a “Known Cheater” during the station’s coverage of Super Bowl media night on Monday.
