I read that previous post by that pats fan and it actually made sense. Except that part about crappy playing teams being the one's that disrespect the game. I'm a Cowboys fan by the way but grew up in Stoneham MA during my childhood years.
But I don't think that guy was being a douchbag. He didn't personally attack anyone (for example, Matty that I just quoted), nor did he say any profanities or wish evil doings on anybody. While browsing the forums, I've read a lot of skins fans agree that "brady deserves to get hurt" and some other disturbing comments.
No one in professional sports deserves to get hurt. Athletes do get hurt but wishing someone gets hurt is just not right.
Play the sport as it is, within it's legal boundaries. I don't believe running up the score is illegal. As exemplified in that Lions/Bears game when the Lions scored 34 points in the 4th quarter, or that Cardinals/Bears game last year when the bears overcame a huge deficit in the 4th quarter to actually win the game by their defense.
No lead is safe in the league and I think that's what belichick is trying to avert.
Peace!
