they get paid to play, not give up just because they are down late in a game

if they still have a remote chance of getting the ball back then yes what they did is legal and not unsportsmanlike, assuming they did it all within the established rules of the game. the only thing I can see written about the whole thing is that it was unsportsmanlike. this suggests to me that the only course of action left to a team trailing by one score late in the game is to just roll over and give up before the game officially ends.

So has Tampa Bay now forfeited any claim to sportsman-like consideration?

Five seconds. No time to run a play, even with the timeout. And they already gave up before.

They wouldn't have to run a play if they'd knocked loose a fumble and run it back for a TD. *NM*

Sounds like it; maybe Schiano should go back to Rutgers.

I mainly feel disgusted with them; the Texans are the team I have hopes for this year.
