He resembles Tim Tebow in that one.

Yeah,he does!

I am sure you think you have a point.

[AnselmosSyringe]

If the situation was reversed would Cowboys fans be whining about the scoring situation?

Couldn't one say the Cowboys ran up the score on the Eagles the last two weeks?

I didn't see any effort in running up the score.. I seen it as the Vikes figuring if they got stopped, they'd have the Cowboys pinned deep in their own territory.
What were the Vikes supposed to do, take a knee with 5 minutes to go or just pull their starters and try and let the Cowboys catch up?

A field goal would still be considered "running up the score?"

Ahh, a voice of reason.

How refreshing!

[UtahRatt]

YOU ABOUT TO GET RAPED!

[chungasrevenge]

[Sabu]

There is no such thing as running up the score in professional sports. NONE! These guys are making millions of dollars and all teams operate on equal ground. This isn't college where the Penn State's of the world are lining up the directional schools and exploiting them for 60 minutes...

Cowboys thought the Vikings were trying to embarrass them by scoring that last TD? They did a good enough job embarrassing themselves up to that point by allowing themselves to get ass raped for 55 minutes. They looked like they had NO business being out on that field and received the appropriate beatdown that goes along with the performance they gave.

You don't want a team to run up the score? Then have a little heart and stop them from scoring at will.

[Luminiferous]

[gr8twhte]

Skol Vikings!!

About that last TD: it's only douchey if it happens to you.

[UtahRatt]

Roadhead, today your nick name is Wade Phillips....Because he's a fat fucking ball of bacon suck!


LOUZERRRRRRRRRRRRR!

HOW BOUT DEM BOY'S?????????

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Crazy Levi]

A column I read makes a good point...

The cowboys were still calling timeouts - hence they were obviously still trying to win.

It's not like they had given up.

So in summary, fuck them, and fuck their crybaby fans.

[thejuggernaut]

The ONLY problem I have with "running up the score" is a team possibly unleashing a new play/trick play when it's not needed.

Personally, I would like to see more teams throwing on the last play of a blowout.

[SkyDog112046]

Running up the score should not be an issue in professional sports. Especially in the playoffs. Both teams are supposed to be among the best in the league, and if one team just has a bad day they really can't blame the other team for running up the score.

Running up the score is something that I associate more with amateur sport or college sports, like when a major powerhouse top 10 football program opens their season against a division II team for what is essentially a warm-up game and then leaves their starters in and runs a hurry-up offense when they are leading 56-3. That is running up the score.

Professional athletes should just shut up about another team putting up a lot of points. They should just shut up and try to stop the other team instead of crying about it afterwards. It's hard to have sympathy for guys who make millions crying about the score of a game.

[KillDevilHill]

They all get payed to play and coach. Run that shit up. You are a total bitch if you are bitching about a ran up score in the playoffs.

Dallas sure ran up the score once or twice in superbowls they were in.


Reason 32749593483 why roadhead is a dumb bitch

Romo's fumbleruski and his recent flop is giving Jackie Smith and Leon Lett a run for the best Cowboy's of all time.

Who else thinks its all a fix: the NFL wants Favre in the SB this year, and next year Jerry Jones and the Cowboys will magically "host" the SB in the shrine that Jones built large enough to house his own ego????

If it all comes true, it'll make you wonder, won't it

Of course it's fixed, to a certain extent. It's a multibillion dollar business and you try to eliminate chance as much as possible, then sell the fuck out of chance when it does happen.

Now, we can never really know who the fix is in for.

As I've said before, don't think the powers that be aren't helping the young latino boy QBing the team in the media capital of the galaxy with their eyes on 100 + million potential new fans and billions upon billions more.

If it ends up being Brett Favre vs the team he QBd last year (and ultimately ended up leaving to make room for the demographic changing qb), well, come on - if that doesn't scream fix then you probably think Don King's fighting stable is all by the book.

While I agree there is something "odd" about the officiating in the NFL, there's no way the NFL would want the Jets in the Superbowl. They're a low scoring team that wins games by running and playing defense. Having them in the Superbowl will not make for an exciting game. Of course, they do play in the largest market in the country, but I don't think the rest of the country will have much interest in seeing the Jets make the SB. Not many people care that Favre played for the Jets for one season. Not like there's any animosity between Favre and the Jets.

I would think the NFL would want a high scoring, exciting game in the SB. On top of that, some of the NFL's highest rated games in the past five years have featured the Colts. They are a pretty big draw.

No, if things were fixed the NFL would want the largest television markets represented and a team from New York would be there every year. The top markets are:
NY
LA
Chi
Phi
SF/Oak
Dal
Bos
DC

So since there is no team in LA their first choice would be Jets vs Bears or Giants vs Raiders. One of the best Superbowls recently in terms of television markets would have been Giants vs Patriots (Market #1 vs Market #7).

Out of the teams left in the playoffs the best matchup in terms of potential television ratings would be Jets vs Vikings because it would be Market #1 vs Favre(whom they could sell the shit out of). In terms of an entertaining game the best matchup left would be Saints vs Colts, but if it is strictly looked at in terms of ratings the NFL would want NY vs Minn.

Disagree there. While conventional wisdom would tell you that the highest rated games are between big market teams, there are exceptions. Overall, I'd think the NFL would rather have a compelling match up in the Superbowl, rather than a bland match up between big markets. Ideally, you'd want a compelling match up between two big market teams. But the Jets aren't a fun team to watch. Casual fans are not going to be interested in the game. Peyton Manning is the the biggest superstar in the league, and in many ways is the face of the league. No way would they want a boring team with an unknown rookie QB in the game over the Colts. Take a look at this link, which shows that the Colts VS Pats match up in 2007 was the highest rated regular season NFL game in 20 years:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sport ... 00_00.html

So that tells you that a small market team like the Colts can command high ratings nationwide. Favre VS Manning is a pretty compelling storyline, one that the league I would imagine is pulling for.

No, it doesn't matter WHO is in the SB. It never has in my lifetime, or in many people's liftimes. It's an event, not a sporting contest. If it mattered who was in the Super Bowl, it wouldn't be the juggernaut it has been since before you were even born, junior.

The NFL is looking at a market of 100 + million possible new fans which won't happen with a Colts' appearance but it sure will with Latin Americans and Mexicans all getting behind the little Mexican American kid from So Cal; they certainly aren't going to line up for the fetal alcohol inbred in the blue jersey.

The NFL can sell any bullshit but make no mistake, Roger Goodell is hoping to god the team from the media capital of the galaxy with the latino QB makes it and attracts tens upon tens of millions of new fans.

Before this year, the highest attended game was........in Mexico City. That record was broken in Dallas. What does Dallas have ? You know the answer.

Football seems to be very popular with the latino folks and it only stands to reason that if "one of their own" were to make it to the SB, well, the NFL will be smiling like a cat with a cream flavored arsehole.

3. It doesn't matter who is in the SB. That's a given, and has been since before you were born. It's going to pull close to 100 million american viewers, and around 150 million, regardless.

Sure, the NFL is concerned about getting the hispanic demographic. But if they were as obsessed with it as you claim, they would already have a franchise back in LA. Obviously that's the biggest hispanic market in the US, by far. Furthermore, Sanchez is hispanic, but you certainly wouldn't know it by looking at him or talking to him. If his name weren't Sanchez, you'd have no idea. So I doubt hispanics are going to relate much to him.

The NFL's number one priority for the Superbowl is ratings. The Jets do not equal ratings. Yes, the Superbowl is going to get good ratings no matter who is playing, but that doesn't mean they don't want the match up that will yield the highest ratings. Having a big market team doesn't factor into that much. Last year's Superbowl was the highest rated of all time. It was between Arizona and Pittsburgh, neither of which are considered big market teams.

Notice how many of those markets that have teams have made appearances this decade ? 9 appearances and this year has a NY team still in the hunt.

Regarding casual fans, you just made my point for me. A good part of the Superbowl viewing audience is composed of casual fans regardless of who's playing. But the NFL wants a match up that will keep those casual fans tuned in for the whole game, not just the first half. That's why it's key to have a good match up. Yes, the ratings will be high no matter what, but the ratings will be higher if there is a good match up on tv. If the Jets are playing the Vikings and the score is 6-3 at half time, I don't think that would bode well for the NFL.

Manning is the biggest superstar. Favre is still a big star, but no longer is he the Superstar that Manning is.
