I feel the same way, this is the NFL. You in a fucking grown up league, you can't compete then tough shit. Get better. I'm all for taking it easy from Pop Warner all the way through college, but once you reach the pros I don't care if your team loses 100-0 it's your fault for sucking.

i agree. College is different cause the monster talent differences, but this is the fuckin pros. If you dont have equal talent its cause you are doing a bad job. So if you get fuckin embarrassed cause of that, that shits on you

Really? I guess you never watched the 2000 Rams. Where they lost their kicker and rather then have someone else try to kick they just went for 2 point conversions the whole game. And I loved that team.

Personally I love when a team runs up the score. Fuck that, show no mercy.

once again the Rams pulled warner out of game. Brady never got pulled and he was throwing bombs all over the fucking place even in the 4th q once the game was over.

I have no problem when teams run up the score either. my point was that most teams dont and if they did it was 1 game here or there. The Pats did it in every game that they could. So yes their stats got padded when teams gave up and when others wouldnt be doing shit like that.

Run it up in pop warner too. Teach these kids today what it feels like to get their ass beat. A game is a game is a game, right? Make them all want to quit no matter the age!

The reason there is a rule is because of the difference in talent between teams. If there were no mercy rule, some games would almost never end.

It meant so little to them that the next day they recorded an awful music video to tell the rest of the league they were going to win the Super Bowl anyway & no one was stopping them. In fact, it was probably the preparation for that video shoot that had them distracted & cost them the game. That & the back-up QB.

Just saying.

You mean this little trip down video memory lane?

No the rule is in place to not make kids cry and get discouraged. Every team has kids the same age. Some as in everything are better then others. But 1 town doesnt have all stars at 8 and the other town the entire team is shit! You learn by playing. All that rule does it teach you how to quit when things are tough.

Just like that pop warner team this year that was banned from playing in the playoffs because they were TOO good and no one could beat them. Way to show kids that if you don't win you have to WORK at it!

Let me just clarify what Im saying. I dont think you should do everything to score when its pop warner or pee wee football. I just dont think you should quit. I think you should play it out the full 6 or 7 innings (whatever your league plays) and finish the game. Now if Im the coach of the other team Im nothing throwing bombs or stealing bases to embarrass the kids. I think you learn by completing the game!

Come on man, running up the score when you clearly have a game locked up is just not classy. I always get a kick out of the egos that love to act like it's the best thing to do bc it's the PROS man, but it's simply not the right move. I play fucking men's beer league hockey and if anyone even tried that shit on our team we'd lay some mother fuckers out.

I don't think anyone wants to institute some rules about it, but run it up at your own risk. In every sport there are ways to continue playing hard without running it up. Use your second team, work on your lesser side of the ball or work pitches you normal don't have great control of, learn to pitch to contact, dump the puck deep, work the passing game (hockey not nfl) and take the slapper out of the game (hockey again). Sure some teams will be so off they'll continue to fall behind, but teams and their coaches will realize if it's bc the team is running it up or not pretty easily.

I just don't see the need or desire to prove you can score 60 on the Panthers (NFL) or win by 6 on the Islanders this year. Work on weaknesses and other factors of your game once a game is all but over, not just rub it in and ask for issues and potential injuries. That's not even touching on the code players in the same league I THINK should have with each other. Perhaps I'm just not the competitor the rest of you are, yet I never let my teams run it up and most wouldn't anyway. Those I usually have to pull back with are the immature kids with egos the size of a Crippler bowel movement after Thanksgiving. I just don't see what someone gets out of embarrassing someone versus a solid win.

As a grown man that has played football and baseball I would be more insulted if I felt a team was letting up out of pity then I would if they won by 100. Fuck that. The goal of the game is to score as much as yopu can and win. If you dont like it either get better so you can do something about it or quit the game. But I honestly feel people that whine about getting the score run up on them are pussies.

I see both sides. But you never quit! I also say if Im on the losing end and a team is running up the score go ahead and hurt them. If you cant be them dont quit but put pain on the mother fuckers trying to embarrass you. Maybe then they will sit the starters and work on bench players getting playing time and learning the game.

I have no problem with that. If they are going to leave their starting QB in the game as long as the hits are clean Ive got no problem with the defense teeing off on the guy. I mean, when your down 30 points in the 4th why not just send the house every play? Blitz 3 guys. Even if you get beat deep, at that point, who cares?

By the way, we are going to see an example of this Sunday night when the Eagles massacre Dallas. Hey Spy, sig bet on the game?

See your problem is you have integrity. I mean you tagged out your own teammate at home plate (10 years and 30lbs ago I would have went for the takeout slide, ha-ha).

If your team is winning 12 - 2 in the 9th and you hit a three run homer it's all in the game. If your team is winning 12 - 2 and in the ninth and you steal second the next pitch is in the batters ribs.

But I don't see why you should all of sudden have to start doing things you don't normally do just because they can't keep up.

You then become a coach on their team and use your players to make them better.

I agree that subs should be in at this point but to start doing things you wouldn't normally do is silly.

Another point is why is it the winning team that has to lie down and play dead while the team getting killed can continue to try and make the game respectable ?

If you're asking me to call off the dogs than you better be running the ball ever play just like I am so we can end the game quicker.

I'm not gonna run a 3 and out so you can come on the field and use your whole playbook trying to score.

Baseball is a little different. Because yea if you just keep hitting the ball and running up the score nobody says anything to you.

But in football if you just keep running the ball you not only put your RB in jeopardy because they know whats coming, but you give the other team a chance to get back in the game. In pro sports giving the other team a chance, even a slight one, out of pity is unforgivable in my book.

Pro is one thing, these are the best of the best. But should Sam Wyche line up and kick a field goal as time expires up 58 - 20?

Let's use high school for example if you are winning 49 - 0 at halftime. Should you have the JV team on the field for the second half? My personal opinion is yes you should. Would that be considered pity?

For the first example thats unnecessary. Because the game is won and a kneel down ends it. Now say say theres 4 minutes left, 4th and 10 and Green Bay is on Detroits 20. They are up 48-10. Do they kick the field goal? Yes they should. Why? Because you cant punt it, going for it is stupid, you play the game the way its supposed to be played.

As far as high school goes I view that a little bit differently. I dont mind seeing them oputting the backups in because, just as in college, those kids bust their ass every week in practice, without pay, and hardly get a chance to play. So you throw them a bone.

I dont even have a problem with a pro team putting in some reserves when his team is up alot, I just dont like when the deviate from the way the game should be played. Whens its 3rd and 6 you throw the ball and try for the first. You dont just run and punt because you feel bad, thats just lame to me.

I have no problem when teams run up the score either. my point was that most teams dont and if they did it was 1 game here or there. The Pats did it in every game that they could. So yes their stats got padded when teams gave up and when others wouldnt be doing shit like that.

If you want to talk shit and act like your so fucking bad ass without winning shit. You damn sure better expect no mercy. I wish the Pats hung fucking 100 on those mouthbreathing ass holes.

Also the Pats have blown late game leads.

Belichick told them in the during a TO "I don't give a fuck what the score is we're playing 60"

He did that because his team needs to learn to play complete games and not layoff. Especially with the 1st seed there for the taking.

this is a good point, but thats baseball. How do you do that in football? If you are out on the football field, you better be giving 100% or you are gonna get yourself hurt. There is no situations in football where you have 45 seconds to think hey if i steal this base they are gonna get killed. the game doesnt set up that way.

Sure you dont have to call passes and whatever if you are up by 35 in the 4th quarter but most teams dont, and any of that shit would fall back on the coaches, not the players. they are just doin what the coach is tellin them in football.

Well, except Peyton Manning. He legitimately is the one player since Marino who decided he was gonna run up scores.

we cant do that, we already said we dont think its right on lower levels where the talent gets so different. We are straight talkin the highest levels. even in college football its a dick move cause some of those teams just dont have the talent

The playing angle is moot, many of the people in this thread played including me. I guess it's how you view the GAME versus ego. I choose to go with the former. Being on both ends of this equation gives players like me more perspective then simply playing. When up and keeping on a team is just useless and you get shit for it. Unless you count the game getting out of hand and players fighting all over the field, ice or beanings galore. Being on the tail end of the ass kicking, and it very well could simply be bc of an off game...they fucking happen, it pisses you off to know end and you become out for blood bc it's simply disrespectful to poke at a wound when you clearly have the game dominated.

As a grown man that has played football and baseball I would be more insulted if I felt a team was letting up out of pity then I would if they won by 100. Fuck that. The goal of the game is to score as much as yopu can and win. If you dont like it either get better so you can do something about it or quit the game. But I honestly feel people that whine about getting the score run up on them are pussies.

I see both sides. But you never quit! I also say if Im on the losing end and a team is running up the score go ahead and hurt them. If you cant be them dont quit but put pain on the mother fuckers trying to embarrass you. Maybe then they will sit the starters and work on bench players getting playing time and learning the game.

Yes, grown men. :wallbash:

See your problem is you have integrity. I mean you tagged out your own teammate at home plate (10 years and 30lbs ago I would have went for the takeout slide, ha-ha).

If your team is winning 12 - 2 in the 9th and you hit a three run homer it's all in the game. If your team is winning 12 - 2 and in the ninth and you steal second the next pitch is in the batters ribs.

I'm glad it's not 10 years ago then!

But I don't see why you should all of sudden have to start doing things you don't normally do just because they can't keep up.

You then become a coach on their team and use your players to make them better.

I agree that subs should be in at this point but to start doing things you wouldn't normally do is silly.

Another point is why is it the winning team that has to lie down and play dead while the team getting killed can continue to try and make the game respectable ?

If you're asking me to call off the dogs than you better be running the ball ever play just like I am so we can end the game quicker.

I'm not gonna run a 3 and out so you can come on the field and use your whole playbook trying to score.

I agree on most of what you put here. However, I don't really mean do something you don't normally do that you wouldn't want to develop. I was more saying working an angle of the team's game that needs development or refining. Get some players more touches that need them. Rotate responsibility to lesser players and see how they respond for situations down the road/playoffs as insurance. There are ways to play hard and not run up the score on someone. That really isn't hard to understand. But I guess we aren't men if we don't fucking Bobby Bowden teams like UAB, Duke, Rice and the Citadel.

For the first example thats unnecessary. Because the game is won and a kneel down ends it. Now say say theres 4 minutes left, 4th and 10 and Green Bay is on Detroits 20. They are up 48-10. Do they kick the field goal? Yes they should. Why? Because you cant punt it, going for it is stupid, you play the game the way its supposed to be played.

As far as high school goes I view that a little bit differently. I dont mind seeing them oputting the backups in because, just as in college, those kids bust their ass every week in practice, without pay, and hardly get a chance to play. So you throw them a bone.

I dont even have a problem with a pro team putting in some reserves when his team is up alot, I just dont like when the deviate from the way the game should be played. Whens its 3rd and 6 you throw the ball and try for the first. You dont just run and punt because you feel bad, thats just lame to me.

Why don't you get it has nothing to do with "feeling bad" for an opponent versus having integrity and class, being above trying to make someone the fool when already down on the ground?

Why dont you get its not fucking integrity, its pity youre showing. There is a set way to play the game. Some people change the way they play it according to score, others play it the same whether its 3-0 or 30-0. It doesnt mean you have less integrity because you play the game the way it is supposed to be played. Its got nothing to do with making someone look like a fool. Its playing a full game from start to finish, the way the game is supposed to be played.

You can say it shows more class and integrity to just keep running into a pile and punting the ball away so as not to embarrass youre opponent. I disagree. It would embarrass me even more if my team was getting shalacked and they started doing that to get the game over with. I took it as a sign of pity, and it would make me angry not happy to see it being done.

Bottom line is there is no argument you'll listen to bc you alone know how the game is supposed to be played. Sorry, you're wrong. Also, you think it only involves "running into a pile and punting the ball away". Yah, no. Not one person said this on the other side of the argument.

it wasnt fixed. in todays NFL and all the money involved and security it is almost impossible to fix a game. Not to mention there are too many places to bet so there is no bookie or group paying off a side. it wouldnt be worth it. If it was fixed it would be fixed because too much action was on 1 side and a bookmaker went to someone on that sides def and said "let them score". Tell me how and who would do that?

Even if I bet $1 million on a game what would I offer someone to fix the game? Not enough to make it worth it for both sides and unless you play off a QB not 1 other position could have enough impact to make it worth paying off a player because you would be throwing away money and that would be just as much of a gamble as would the bet itself!

Now if you paid an official off then maybe you could fix a game. But then again that would have nothing to do with monday night because Tenn still had to score as time ran out. No official could guarantee someone would score there.

Between 2002 and 2003 I had 65 clients and made over $60k taking pro and college football bets. That money paid for my wedding and 6 months of my bills when I was out of work. I wasnt some college kid taking bets from his buddies, dumbass.

Last night I watched the Titans drive down the field intent on scoring a touchdown at the end of the game that would accomplish nothing other then covering the spread. Ive seen coaches go for 2 point conversion at times where it made no sense yet affected the line by half a point. In the early 90's I knew 5 guys on the Temple football team that routinely bet against their team because they knew they had no shot at winning, agreeing that if by some miracle they were winning they would miss a block or drop a pass to try to cover that spread.

There are fixed games in all kinds of sports. Does that mean EVERY game is fixed? Fuck no. But with the money wagered on games every week I definitely believe that there are certain games where the score gets a little push in the right direction. You can say "Why would they risk all theyve got?" and thats a valid question. But these are the same players that do just that getting involved in drugs, guns, robbery, dog fighting and other activities that put their livelihood at risk for extra money.

Next, we're asking you for some proof bc you're making a serious statement about the game last night. I wouldn't ask you to prove or put out there why you thought something you didn't make that type of comment on. Do I think there is shady shit going on at most levels of sports, of course. However, I do expect you like my friends that constantly complain whenever 1 in 50 games has a line crossed on a last minute play to back up their claims with SOME form of proof or in the least speculation. You have nothing other then a line was crossed late and you don't like it. What were they supposed to do (TENNESSEE)? Give up and be pussies as you say? They scored late with the hope of a few seconds to be left to onside kick from what I can deduce. What do you expect them to do, just give up? I'd be more suspect of that if you ask me.

It was my own business, backed with my own money, I answered the phone, put out the lines, kept the book, did the math, collected the money and paid what was owed. There wasnt middle men, it was just me. (and sometimes my fiance at the time). Not only that but I put people on payment plans when they went over their head, took my best gamblers out to dinner for an end of season feast, and gave out free reverses for the Super Bowl to those that lost the most. I know EXACTLY what the fuck Im talking about.

spoon has a point with the whole tax issue but my bigger worry was making sure the wiseguys in my neighborhood at the time, including my landlord, didnt find out because then I would have had to pay them every week for the privilege.

I got out because I lost my job in April 04, and was getting married. It wasnt worth the risk anymore. Got out the perfect time too because that season the Eagles crippled most of the bookies in Philly. They covered 12 games. Lost to Pitt in Week 7 I think, and didnt cover the final 3 weeks when none of the starters played and nobody bet them. Then they covered every playoff game including the Super Bowl. I wouldve either had to push off all the Birds bets every week, which nobody really wanted to take, or lose everything.

Its like any other PSA against drug use, they are meant to scare parents! There is evidence that steroids have been used on baseball and football as far back as the 60's. Baseball has also been known for its speed and uppers! Those are a lot worse for you then steroids!

Anyway back to the argument. If the players has a prescription for a legal drug he shouldnt need to wait for approval to take it. All this player should have to do is provide proof that this was done under a Drs care. I know thats not the rules of the league Im saying it should be the rules.

It has always made me laugh when they make players that did juice out to be villains. There have been lots of Drs that have said steroids really only give recovery to a player more then anything else. I compare steroid use to Tommy John surgery or Cortisone Shots (which is a steroid). They all help continue a players career especially ones that would be over before they start. Not only have players been able to come back and play from tommy john surgery most have come back as more of a power pitcher. You are supposed to be happy about advances in medicine to help continue a career or help give you the boost and recovery to play the next day. But because of assholes like Bob Costas who hate that todays athletes were breaking records that nerds like Costas jerked off to as a child they created this mess and made it worse then it is. For how much fans even hated steroids it only lasted a few years. For the most part the majority of fans dont give 2 shits about it.

But they got what they wanted, to make criminals out of Bonds and Clemons. I hope they both win their cases!

Anyway...

12-11-2010, 07:04 PM
exactly and its one of the many reasons I have argued against all the assholes who have a problem with the players that have taken them. My Uncle who is a Dr has always told me steroids arent bad for you if they are taken properly and in proper cycles. The entire steroid argument is made to sound worse then it is. Its like any other PSA against drug use, they are meant to scare parents! There is evidence that steroids have been used on baseball and football as far back as the 60's. Baseball has also been known for its speed and uppers! Those are a lot worse for you then steroids!

Anyway back to the argument. If the players has a prescription for a legal drug he shouldnt need to wait for approval to take it. All this player should have to do is provide proof that this was done under a Drs care. I know thats not the rules of the league Im saying it should be the rules. The guy is suspended for taking legal drugs but because he didnt ask permission 1st they suspend him. Its all about control and showing who is boss. Its a bullshit power trip by the league!

BTW I dont even like the Patriots but I think its wrong they are getting fucked like this!
i absolutely agree with all of this

Well as a Giants fan I am happy they're not getting fucked over by being forced to play on Sunday after the horrendous travel conditions they had to face. A smart move by the NFL.
I just hope this makes the game National. With the MNF game going on I don't know what the contracts for TV/conditions are for this. Does anyone know?

I would think if Fox could, they would show football no matter what day it's being played...it's their bread and butter money wise.

Yeah, but now they'll have to play the Eagles on a very short week.

And, I was thinking about this even though, it won't happen (but it is a possibility with all that snow) - What if the roof of the Metrodome collapses during the day on Monday? Do they then move it to another stadium on Tuesday or Wednesday? And then do they have to turn around and play the Eagles on Sunday? What's the leagues contingencies on something like that?

That would NEVER work in a league where every win is important. Baseball you have 162 games in a season.

Football...only 16. And with the Giants tied with Philly in the W-L collum every win counts.
And if the Giants had to play on Tuesday would it be fair to have them play against the Eagles only 4 full days later? Their most important game of the season (so far?)

No...I can see where you might want to find an idea for situations like this, but that idea is not even CLOSE to being a good one.

Leave NJ, get stuck for god know how many hours in K.C. Then get to Minneapolis. Only to have to turn around and then go to Detroit and play tomorrow. 4 states in two days. That's not easy to deal with.

but the game was already postponed to mon night so even if they had them set up for the 1pm start why keep them running all the way to mon night?

Whats not to believe? The Jets won 1 game convincingly all year and that was against the Bills. They should have lost to Miami in Miami, they should have lost to Denver, Det, Clev, Cincy etc. The Jets are really a 3-10, 4-9 team who has played teams who gave away the games by bad coaching decisions or last minute mistakes.

neither they both suck Henne actually has a higher completion %, less ints and a better QB rating so dont go crazy because Sanchez did well 1 or 2 games. I think over all miami has a better team. The jets have just gotten lucky and the dolphins have gotten unlucky this year. I at least see miami for what they are, a .500 or little better team that needs to learn how to play 60 minutes.
