There you have it! Now we KNOW Brady and Belichick are guilty!

[Dr. Thorne]

God bless this girl. They must have crowned her for intelligence and honesty. This is not sarcasm.

[BerniesFriend]

Miss America contestant says Tom Brady 'definitely cheated,' immediately crowned Miss America

Didn't Nixon say, "If you lose Miss America, you lose America?" I read that on the internet so it must be true..

[Red Badger]

Must be a Dolphins fan................................

[driftdiver]

Well he did cheat, but then thats nothing new.

Her logic is mind numbingly stupid though.

[Ohioan]

Beauty & gracious femininity should be the qualifications, not half-baked opinions, that must embarrass one's kin, if later reduced to print.

The Feminist influence in a beauty contest is really indefensible.

[Sacajaweau]

Unbelievable....absolutely no evidence...but she knows....definitely, too. Probably hasn’t read a newspaper in a month.

[Resolute Conservative]

Stupid question.

"And she wouldn't be able to do ... whatever it is Miss America does if she wasn't able to answer questions about current events in a cogent, confident, smiley and inoffensive manner. "

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

As part of a question and answer portion of the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant, Upton was asked by the questioner, this:

"Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

Upton responded:

“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future [for our children].[8][9]”

Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question

"Did he cheat? Um, that's a really good question! I'm not sure. I think I'd have to be there to see the ball, and feel it to make sure it was deflated or not deflated. But if there was question there, then yes, I think he cheated. If there were any question to be had, I think that he definitely cheated, and he should've been suspended for that. That's not fair."

She got thru the entire answer without using: "you know", "like" and "actually". She only used "really" one time.

That has to be worth some points.

Very disappointed in the turn that the Miss America Pageant has taken. When I was growing up, every little girl wanted to BE Miss America. Some of the comments from the contestants were vulgar double entendres, Miss Wisconsin actually saying ‘come to Wisconsin and smell our dairy air'?? I know that stuff was written for them, but they should have a bit of class at least, and say no to the embarrassing stuff. We watched up to about the middle of the ‘swimsuit stroll’. All I was thinking was ‘so the Miss America Pageant has become nothing but an implants and little boy bodies (ignoring all the implants) strut’. Sad, but goes along with the degradation of our culture.

“Poise. Poise.”

[mkjessup]

Miss America said she would want to "see the ball and feel it"

The jokes just write themselves.

In our brainwashed society, giving the politically correct answers assure you advancement, not reasoning or accuracy.

It’s what we’re spending trillions on in the public schools.

Feeling balls will be informative.

[cincinnati65]

If Brady didn’t “cheat” and knew nothing about the deflated balls, then why didn’t HE report them to the ref as soon as he took the first snap? The balls were supposedly seriously under-inflated, which should have been obvious to the touch. He should have known something was “off” with the ball and said something, right?

[VideoDoctor]

How far down into the bowels of DUMBNESS is America prepared to descend?

[lewislynn]

I’ll bet Tom Brady can tell without touching that she’s been over-inflated.

[Swede Girl]

She had a terrible answer, and I was surprised that she won after that. I don’t think she knows much about football or the entire episode that she was asked about. She said she would have to feel the ball herself....as if she is an expert on the subtle differences of the inflation of a professional football. This was very funny, but I know she had to be nervous and had to say something off the top of her head.

To be honest, I don’t believe that most people have given this football issue their full attention. I really don’t think a great percentage of females followed the whole story, and I, for one, found it to be boring and unimportant compared to what else is going on in the world. I tuned out when it was discussed on TV or the radio, and I am sure that this was ... and still is ... a common reaction with many people.
