With only 6 minutes left in the game and a MORE than 3 touchdown lead, what do I see? Tony Romo STILL in the game. Tony Romo STILL throwing the ball. Tony Romo STILL trying to get a TD pass to TO...and succeeding.

I say again WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE. Not a SINGLE comment by ESPN on the subject even SUGGESTING that the lovable Cowboys are running up the score!!!!!

What does this prove beyond ANY doubt is that the ENTIRE running up the score issue is nothing more that the CREATION of an issue by ESPN. More proof you say.

a. How about the fact that a VAST, VAST, VAST, majority of players and EVERY opposing coach, have NO PROBLEM with how the Pats have conducted the end of games.

b. How about the fact a VAST majority of the OWN analysts have NO PROBLEM with the issue, yet ESPN CONSISTANTLY leads every comment about the Pats with their scoring dominance.

c. There is NEVER a comment about any OTHER team who might be doing the same things that the Pats are being condemned for. The Cowboys being just ONE example in point.

BTW- I have NO PROBLEM with what the Cowboys chose to do yesterday. I have a problem with the double standard that the Media, especially ESPN, continue to practice on a daily basis.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE:

imagine if the patriots had the bounties on the vikings it would be bigger than spygate, oh but its the packers, its ok

Here's what I have a problem with: T.O. doing press conferences after every game. He's not just interviewed at his locker like Randy Moss, he does PRESS CONFERENCES after every freakin' game. And, HE WEARS SUNGLASSES.

It seems that every team except the Patriots are immune to the media's criticism. If another team does the exact same thing, the media turns a blind eye. Every since the so called "spygate" which was also stirred up by the media to a frenzy when it was a simple case of signal stealing, it seems the media has been set to try to bring down the Patriots in whatever way they can.

What an outrage! Actually granting access to the media! And wearing sunglasses! You are kidding, right? Surely, you are not suggesting Belichick's attitude toward the media is the only one.

Lampshade

It makes no sense for the media to diminish their only storyline. If people started to hear that Dallas go for it on 4th down with the game already decided, and that Dallas throw deep with the game already decided, well suddenly people might start to question what they hear; and we don't want that.

The media has an image of the Pats. They are cold, ruthless, cheating, arrogant, dismissive, etc. So if some event fits the image -- even if everyone does it -- it's made to be an issue.

If it does not fit the image, it's an aberration.

The NFL does not want to see the Pats dominate -- it's bad for parity.

I have not seen this comparison, but in Bill Simmons style, I'll point out the comparison to Rollerball, where the rulers want the greatest player to retire because he is dominating -- too dominant -- and they need to bring back more parity to the game. They change the rules to make his team lose.

Why should the media think that the patriots are not cold, calculating, arrogant, dismissive etc? I thought that we were proud of those traits.
