I hear ya on the "unwritten rules" I know all about them when it comes to playing sports, I grew up with them, so I hear what you are saying, and I totally agree, there are skeletons in the closet. It's like NCAA basketball...if you already clinched a spot in March Madness before the conference championship game...it's okay to lose the conference game so that your conference can have 2 teams in March Madness...another example of "unwritten rules"......but.....to make an illegal hit on a player just because he is kickin yo'a$$....
Yes, I also agree with you, Belichick IS on a mission...people are questioning all of thier previous Super Bowl Wins...as they should...so Belichick is trying to prove they don't need to record teams playbook during the game to win....Well, he isn't
TRYING to prove it...He
IS proving it.
Yeah, they shouldn't be making teams look like idiots on the filed...but on that same note...they aren't the ones doing it....the opposing team is doing it to themselves by not stopping them...I would way rather have someone kick my trash then to let up and play easy on me...but then again...I am not in the NFL and don't know all the "codes"
I always just thought "running up the score" ended when you were in Jr. High or High school.....and, if I remember correctly...all three of the Patriots QB's played against the 'Skins...
Ouch, sorry skins fans...
(BTW, I too hate the Pats)
