Madden & Michaels

I don't really care what you think about the Patriots running up the score, (personally I think it's rather assholish behavior, but it doesn't keep me up at night or anything), but the new conventional wisdom of "it's not the Patriots fault, it's the job of the defense to stop them", is fucking stupid. If they were in any way capable of stopping them, there would be no running up the score in the first place, right genius? But even stupider is hearing Al Michaels and John Madden continually try to defend it. They are bad enough as it is, and listening to them suck the Patriot teat makes Sunday Night football unbearable.
