Somebody said that what the Patriots did was akin to defeating a boxer, and then kicking him in the head when he's down on the mat. Why not do that? Because there are times when a REAL MAN stops caring about his own ego, to spare the embarrassment of others.

No, that analogy doesn't fit. Once the boxer is on the floor out cold from a punch, the boxing match is over. In football, the game isn't over until the final gun sounds and the clock reads 0:00.

The Patriots did not physically attack or try to maim any Redskin players on the field. Scoring touchdowns is perfectly within the rules of the game regardless of the time on the clock.

I understand what you said, and you're correct, the score was 45-0 and a field goal would have made it 48-0.

In either case, 52 - 49 does indeed equal 3. I misunderstood the error you were trying to point out.
