59 - 0.

That Harrison Bergeron story aside, I wondered if there was some reason for running up the score on the helpless Tennessee Titans like that...

Seems there is a background story there;
Dan Wetzel explains:

A little more than two years ago, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was immersed in a spying scandal that would cost him a $500,000 fine, a first-round NFL draft pick and a chunk of reputation.

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher issued, at least by the standards of the closed-rank culture of NFL coaches, one of the strongest condemnations.

“There’s no place for it,” Fisher said. “Everybody clearly understands the rules.” He went onto discuss the importance of the NFL protecting “the integrity of the game.”

Fisher stood silently in the Massachusetts snow Sunday and watched Belichick’s team deliver a record 59-0 beating on his Titans.

Was it revenge? Was Belichick piling on in response to those comments? Was he driving a stake into Fisher, whose team is now 0-6 and who answered questions after the game about his job security? Or was it some shot at Tennessee after Belichick hired football advisor Floyd Reese, whose departure from the Titans was less than amicable?

Only Belichick knows for sure. For the Patriots, the best part of the debate is that there is a debate.

Read the whole thing.

And this one too, in case you might have missed it...
