lolz
and exactly what power does anyone have? i can't overturn games, i can't throw games out. i could feasibly boot a player, but i'm not going to boot a good player because he ran up the score a couple times.
look, running up the score is shitty, and if it was luke going 4 wide up 20 with under a minute left ok that is complete bullshit. but he runs a basic run play, you miss a hit stick, and he scores a TD on a breakaway. SHOULD he have just run out of bounds and taken a knee, or taken a knee in the first place? sure. is it OMFG DEPLORABLE that he scored in the fashion he did? no, i dont think so. i neglected to score again fifty in the same situation and he told me he wish i had just scored.
so to everyone again i stress please dont get involved in this shit. if you are losing by 30 points in the 4th, don't use your timeouts. just let the clock run down. if you throw a pick and you're down by 30 your opponent has every right to run back that pick for a TD.
if you are up by 30 with under a minute left and your opponent has no timeouts, just take a couple knees and be done with it. this is drama that didn't need to happen.
personally i couldn't care less if someone runs the score up on me. i invite any of you to do it when you play me. but keep in mind that not everyone is like that and when someone has just had a frustrating game the last thing they want to deal with is you scoring a TD when you could have just taken a knee (whether they took their last TO or not).
luke as punishment i need you to bench girley and/or manning for one game at any point in the season. thanks bro
