What short memories we all have here. It wasn't too long ago when the Stamps would consistently run up the score against the Riders. .

Did Calgary ever go for a short kickoff late in a game with a three-touchdown lead? Did they gamble on third down with a three-touchdown lead? I suggest the Stamps "ran up the score" as you so eloquently put it simply because the 'Riders were perenial losers, and still are.

They sure did. A game I remember vividly is about 6 years ago at TF when the Stamps were up 38-16 and decided they needed to score 2 TDs in the final 3 minutes of the game to make it 52-16 at the end. But you know what - football is 60 minute game and the Riders closed shop early that night and deserved to get their a$$e$ kicked. Calgary gave up in the 4th quarter last night and got what was coming to them. [/b][/quote]
So how were those two final TDs scored??? Was it on a 3rd down gamble? A long bomb? I can guarantee that you wouildn't have seen Wally's Stamps gambling on 3rd down when they were up by a bunch in the fourth.
Boo-hoo, 7 years ago the Stamps layed down an ass-kicking on the Riders, so that justifies blatantly running up the score now... I'd get a violin, but seeing as you're a Riders fan, I think a banjo would be more appropriate somehow....
