lol, I dunno about all that. I just think it's a bit much to bitch about a bunch of scrub third stringers running plays up the middle to run the clock out of a game. If the guy had been tackled and the clock had run out, nobody would have said anything about it. If you want to gripe about RUTS, look at USC throwing passing TD's in the 4th quarter while up 49-3. Even in that situation it doesn't bother me all too much. The guys on both sides of the ball want to PLAY. I can pretty much guarantee you that nobody on San Jose's defense was begging for mercy. I can't recall ever playing in a baseball game where my team was getting our ass kicked and saying "jeez, I wish they would just weakly ground out on purpose."
