    How is it part of the game? If your winning a soccer match 5-0 and get a penalty you don't pea roll it to the goalkeeper because your gonna win anyway. If your playing tennis and killing your opponent you don't start serving double faults just for the heck of it. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME

    This is a pretty wild conspiracy theory. Fixing a 2nd half total? Time to live is a shack in the woods wearing tin foil hats.

    it's called not running up the score in a 52-3 game. 100% standard procedure. Only a douchebag coach like Jim Harbaugh or Pete Carroll would have ran it in for the extra score in that situation.

    When a football team has commanding lead with little time left, they will do that to end game quickly without risking unnecessary injuries. The analogy to soccer and tennis is invalid, as those acts have opposite effect.

    Question. Where do you draw the line? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Halftime? They had a commanding lead at half, right?

    Also, you mitigate against injury by playing backups, which is what LSU was doing. Those kids should be able to play hard in game conditions, right?

    If all you're going to do is purposely kneel down four times and give the other team the ball on downs, I agree.

    This is really irritating in college basketball.

    wow... go on the defensive much?

    It was a simple observation big guy.

    Since your OP mentioned you were 44, I did not assume you are "little kid on my parents couch".

    I'm confused about how including your zip code would prove this though, if in fact I did doubt you.

    I simply observed that a "BIG TIME" bet, and $250, aren't often included in the same post in this forum.

    On a side note, for a 44 year old business owner, your ability to transfer your thoughts into a well organized, grammatically correct, properly spelt group of sentences is absolute sh*t.

    If critiquing your response is the result of "calling you out", I think barely passing high school english is enough to be sufficiently equipped to handle it.

    broseph, all I said was $250 would hardly be considered "BIG TIME" on this forum.

    I was just having fun with your classic over reaction.

    It's funny and ironic that you call me a "big talker" after making a post which included a zip code for a rich neighborhood, a claim of business ownership, and a claim that "I guarantee you I bet more than you on Saturday and Sunday guaranteed". If that's not "big talking" than I don't know what is
