In a stroke of genius, or maybe a way to distract people from "Deflategate", one of the players for the New England Patriots did something completely awesome.

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman did an awesome and hilarious video for Throwback Thursday. Throwback Thursday is where people take to Facebook and Twitter to show a picture or video from their past.

In this case, Edelamn made a one minute video that was set to the "Growing Pains" theme song and featured childhood pictures of his teammates and coach Bill Belichick.

I'm pretty sure the "Growing Pains" theme song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, but there are worse things that can happen.
