[net.sport.football] Rants and raves

 The number of injuries this year in the pro ranks has
 been incredible.. Consider just the QBs to miss games
 due to injuries: Dan Fouts, Tommy Kramer, Terry Bradshaw,
 Ken Anderson, Ken Stabler.  And then there was Miami's
 linebacking corps, Tampa Bays offensive line, etc....

 I read a remark by a sports writer who said the Cowboys
 should be called South America's team rather than
 America's team because of all of the rumored drug
 involvement/use.

 In professional football, running up the score should
 be (and probably is) incouraged. The reason being that
 point spreads are used in the tie-breaking scheme,
 especially in the intra-conference games.
