Thursday, 21 March 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Yesterday the NFL voted to outlaw the “Tuck rule,” a rule that says when a quarterback loses control of the ball after attempting to pass and then changing his mind a play can be called a forward pass. Considering the change, Boston Globe sports writer Dan Shaughnessy asks his readers to ask themselves a tough question: “Was the Patriots dynasty built on a lie?” Shaughnessy says Tom Brady’s “tuck moment” back in 2002 was actually a fumble.
