Look at Ronnie Brown, he was trying to make a tackle, and slip and tore his ACL. It can happen and when your up 35-0 and that happens thats a coaching mistake. I hope if happens because the patriots deserve it. Karma will hit the patsies I'd laugh if it was the other way around one year and teams kept beating up on the patsies because they use to beat up on other teams.
Why? Because they couldnt help kick the snot out of garbage teams that try to pass for football franchises in the NFL? Why shouldnt the team that's down 35-0 pull their starters in favor of getting the backups some work? If (star player from some team) is still in the game down by 35 in the fourth, what's the point of keeping him in the game?

I hate the argument that the leading team should take their foot of the gas for sportsmanship. If, at a certain point BOTH teams remove starters to prevent injury, fine. That would make more sense to me, but the losing teams always drag out the clock and try to put points on the board. Nothing makes me laugh harder then when Trent Green/Mark Bulger or some other QB on an 0-5 - 0-8 team runs the no huddle offense in the fourth quarter down by 100. Stupid.
