Patriots Wide Receiver Posts 'Growing Pains' Throwback Thursday Video 'Growing Pats'

The New England Patriots could use some new headlines not related to "deflate-gate" their scandal of using under-inflated footballs during a playoff game. An incredibly funny "ThrowbackThursday" video might be just what the doctor ordered.

Even Lions fans and Spartan fans will get a smirk from Brady's high five or Gronks kitten on the shoulder glamour shot.

If you didn't grow up in the 80s you're probably still familiar with the famous sitcoms of the era. "Growing Pains" is probably one of the most-watched and beloved shows of its time. The quality of this parody is spot on including the uplifting and infectious theme song and the actors' names superimposed in a cheesy font and video of the stars doing something corny.

Featuring shots of the offensive combination of Tom Brady, Shane Vereen, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, coach Bill Belichick. Team owner Robert Kraft gets the "Created By" credit.

The success of those shows was undeniable and so is the success of the Patriots, but what would Dr. Jason Seaver say about the behavior of those cocky Pats. They'd probably get a stern talking to.
