So it's OK to humiliate a good team, just not a horrible one? Joel Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 06:34:24 AM
1) it's the NFL playoffs. there is no such thing as "running up the score" in the playoffs. if you supposedly earned your spot to play you should be good enough to not get blown out. step up your game or get your ass kicked, plain and simple.

2) IT'S THE NFL PLAYOFFS. this is a professional sport played by people paid millions of dollars to run a ball around a field for 3 hours. if you did your job as poorly as the cowboys did theirs, you would be looking for work tomorrow. at the college level it's more of an issue but at the professional level, if you don't do your job you can't really whine about how badly you got beat.

Good thing we have a sharp cutoff in December so we know whom it's OK to abuse and not.

I find it difficult to feel bad for a team of millionaires... Brian - 18/01/2010 01:52:57 AM 703 Views
It's less that I feel bad for the Cowboys (and more their fans) than I'm disappointed in the Vikes Joel - 18/01/2010 02:56:11 AM 682 Views
