Are teams/players who wine about opponents 'running up the score' a bunch of pansies?

The winning team has a right to win by as much as it can. The fact that you suck is nobody's problem but your own.

Are teams/players who wine about opponents 'running up the score' a bunch of pansies?
Tweety doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to college scores. The amount of points scored by college teams DOES COUNT in the BCS standings.


In the NFL score as many as possible too.
Reply:Absolutely, they're a bunch of pansies...





Every team in the NFL has been on both ends of a blowout...it happens... what's different here is that it's one team, blowing out one opponent after another, week after week...





Peyton Manning threw 6 TD passes in a 41-9 blowout of Detroit in his record setting TD season... and he only broke Marino's record by ONE TD. The way Brady is going, he's not only going to break Peyton's record, he's going to shatter it.





But you're exactly right... if a team can't stop them (and can't score against them), who's fault is that? Exactly :)





Sammy Baugh, the Redskins QB from the 40s, summed up best the way a loser should act after a blowout...





When the Bears beat the Redskins 73-0 in the 1940 NFL title game, Baugh, the 'Skins QB, was asked what he thought the score would have been had the Redskins scored first... he replied "73-7".





When you get you butt kicked, just admit it, congratulate the winners, and get on with your life!





If all these idiotic fans complain about the Pats running up the score, then why do so many of them hope that the Colts BLOW OUT the Patriots this weekend? Give me a break, either you're for blowouts, or against them... but if anyone wants the Colts to blow the Pats out on Sunday, it's exactly the same as what the Patriots are doing...





People should just admit they hate the Patriots regardless of how much (or how little) they win by.





I've seen a few games over the years in which teams came back from 20+ point deficits in the 4th Qtr...and many more such comebacks during 2nd halves of games...





Also, I'm sure that if we checked the scores of the Dolphins games during Marino's then-record TD season, I'm sure he padded those numbers with a few extra TD's in blowouts. That Dolphin offense was incredible...

Do you hear fans of LSU, Ohio State, USC, Florida complaining that their teams pile it on? Never... none of them can get enough of 63-10 blowouts... College should be more sportsmanlike than the NFL, not less...because there's a lot less at stake.





Bottom line is, if YOUR team blows someone out, fine...if someone does it to you, gee, how unfair of them!

Reply:let me take a stab at it....football is considered a mans game. classy men are respectful yet fair, men you beat people down just because they can are not considered to be good men. it becomes apparent when the other team has decided to quit fighting. they have accepted their defeat and are ready to move on. what kind of man rubs salt in a wound? yes, they have the right to. but that doesnt mean it is the "right" thing to do. football players and coaches are proud, they have fought long and hard to get where they are. when their pride is hurt, they get angry. they arent necassarily whining, just asking for respect. and not showing a respect is unmanly.
Reply:Offense get millions just to put the ball in the endzone so do your job for 60 minutes...And Defense get millions to stop it for 60 minutes so blame the D for not doing their job thats free money if you let them score 52 and you have nothing on the score board...And for the record I HATE the Pats but you can't complain for them doing what they get paid to do and thats play for 60 minutes...
Reply:No team or player has whined about it. Its the media doing the whining. And if certain teams fans cant take the heat they need to get out of the kitchen. You cant be classless and want respect.
Reply:yup
Reply:YES, and so are their fans!!
Reply:That's whine, not "wine", which it seems you may have been drinking too much of.
Reply:Yes. Anything can happen in football so why not score as much as possible in case the other team desides to show up?
Reply:Sure run up the score with all your starters in the 4th quarter. Just don't come back here crying about it when your golden boy QB gets his spleen removed by a defensive end who didn't hear the whistle in time during an 8-man blitz vs. a 5-man line.
