Detroit Free Press writer cries about Buccaneers ‘running up score’ against Lions

If you have a problem with the other team running up the score against you, then stop them!

This is something that was taught to me at a very young age and it is something that I still believe to this day, even though my playing days are over.

One person who (not shockingly) disagrees with this is Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press.

Following the Detroit Lions 47-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday afternoon, Monarrez felt it was appropriate to publish an article titled, “Tampa Bay Buccaneers running up the score on the Detroit Lions was bush league.”

Here is what Monarrez had to say in his article.

From Detroit Free Press:

Yes. I understand there was only so much the Bucs could do since the Lions were extremely shorthanded, especially when Matthew Stafford left after the first series with an ankle injury. And yes, the Bucs pulled Brady at halftime when they were up, 34-0. But then Blaine Gabbert came in and started passing deep. On his first play, they threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski — and why was Gronk still in the game? — for a 40-0 lead. Then he threw a 22-yard TD pass to Mike Evans for a 47-7 lead. With about 10 minutes left, Gabbert threw a 40-yard bomb to Evans on first down that was incomplete. Gabbert even completed a 10-yard pass to Antonio Brown on the second to last play of the game. I can understand throwing on third down or even when you’re deep in your own territory. But deep throws for TDs? Late bombs on first down? Come on, man. And why was Evans still in the game that late? Sure, the Bucs are trying to get ready for the playoffs, but this was bush league.

Carlos, are you kidding me with this garbage? This is not what Detroit is about. We are not wimps and we sure as hell do not want a team to feel bad for us and stop trying. Detroit is about hard work and battling through tough times before eventually rising to the top. If you want people to feel sorry for you, have at it. But please, stop crying about a professional sports team running up the score.

It’s embarrassing.
