I should clarify: the one video I found that was labeled “Wildcat” with Payton was not the Wildcat. I’m still fairly certain I’ve seen pitch-outs and/or laterals to him where he passed as well.

Brady’s response to Harbaugh’s whinging: “Maybe those guys gotta study the rule book and figure it out.” 😃

Is being a whiner a genetic thing for the Harbaughs?

Sorry I screwed the pooch on this. I was excited by the game, took what **AH** posted before me, ran with it and never even thought about it not being a flea flicker - which I _have_ seen before.

(_To self : Never post under the influence of emotion, you stupid fuck. Never!_)
