You guys missing the point of what it means to run up the score.

When there is a lot of time left in the game its not running up the score... its scoring what ever you can because you don't know what is going to happen and the other team makes a comeback.

Late in the game when you have them beat say 24 to 0 with 2 minutes to the gentlemen thing to do is not throw a touchdown pass... that is running up the score not what the Saints did. It totally 2 different things.

Obviously the Saints pulled Brees out before the 4th quarter and only ran the ball after that so its no harm and clearly no foul.

Saints Run Up Score on Hapless Colts, Though Media Doesn't Attack Sean Payton, Drew Brees


Blogging does not equal journalism, and this is from NESN, a homer website for the New England Sports Network, so don't be fooled into thinking it was written by a writer.

At first I was going to point out that the blogger/homer (can't call him a writer) was actually defending the Saints blowout, but simply crying foul about unequal treatment by the public and media at large. But then I saw the part about "Vicodingate" vs. "Spygate" and I saw behind that thin veneer of a sportswriter, an actual crybaby homer...the kind you don't like to sitting next to you at a sports bar when the games are on, because they can't acknowledge facts.

Sean Payton is no Bob Stoops.
