Did a Pittsburgh TV station really call Tom Brady a “known cheater”?

It's no surprise that football fans in Pittsburgh are no fans of the New England Patriots.

But a screenshot making the rounds online appears to show that Pittsburgh's KDKA TV station took things a step further, by taking a not-so-subtle jab at the Patriots' quarterback in a segment that aired last night.

A user on Reddit apparently discovered this graphic from the station's Super Bowl coverage labeling Tom Brady as a "Known Cheater."

While the Patriots have been known to be a bit enterprising when it comes to the league's rules, for a CBS affiliate station to take things a step further and call out the Patriots' star quarterback is unusual.

Or perhaps this is simply the Pittsburgh station's way of filling time since the Steelers missed the playoffs this year, failing to qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2013.
