Who Cares if the Pats Run Up the Score?

Much has been made about Bill Belichick and the Pats running up the score late in games - how it's unsporting and mean to opposing teams and coaches, but honestly, I don't see it. It's just a score in a football game. No one's getting hurt, it's within the rules of the game and everyone's still getting paid.

I assume Joe Gibbs, in the comfort of his mansion, and with all of his massive NFL achievements and Hall of Fame resume, can get over the beating the Pats put on him Sunday. And I doubt that if New England won 38-7, that would have made any difference. Plus, it's certainly not personal. The Pats are doing it to everybody.
