Jake, my point was that the team wasn't getting some giant psychological boost over this. Do I think for half of one second that Brady and at least one other person didn't know? Not for half of a nanosecond. But saying that this caused a psychological advantage is too much of a stretch.
No one will ever convince me that this caused a 45-7 score. The Colts ran out of gas one game short of the Super Bowl, plain and simple.

Aaaa..gotcha. Yeah, that isn't exactly the kind of thing you would tell everybody about if you were doing it. And, I agree, while it might put "an asterisk" on the win, it's a really, really, tiny asterisk.
