Charlie Moore: No Offense is not your typical sports magazine TV show — unless you often see hosts fishing in the Everglades with Doug Flutie, or jumping rope with boxer Micky Ward. That’s Tom Brady in the photo there, firing indiscriminately into the woods in today’s episode. Just give him a reason, Mr. Squirrel.
Actually he’s skeet shooting, which is one portion of the three-segment Season 2 episode that airs for the first time today (3 p.m. ET, NBCSports Network). Also included will be Moore visiting with Flutie (fishing and a rather rambunctious game of touch football) and Steve Grogan.
“With the Super Bowl coming up, we thought this would be a fun time to put together an all-quarterback show,” Moore told Off the Bench. “It kind of gives the viewer three different perspectives from quarterbacks who shouldn’t have been there: guys who were underrated and had to fight and prove themselves. And being a Boston guy myself, it doesn’t hurt that they all play or have played for the Patriots.”
Watching Brady learn to shoot was somewhat revealing, said Moore.
“It was like anything else Brady does,” Moore said. “He starts off slow, then starts to get good, and by the end he’s this great trick shooter. Persistence defines this guy.”
A three-on-three touch football game with Flutie and some friends was also revealing.
“It quickly moved from touch to tackle,” Moore said, laughing. “Flutie is a very competitive guy, as am I. It was interesting.”

once you have Super Bowls and supermodels on your resume, stuff like this doesn’t really matter…unless he was really taking out zombies. but doesn’t Chuck Norris protect all of mankind from stuff like that?

I wonder if Tom learned to shoot like that in Michigan?
