Can someone please explain to me why he or anyone in his position should have to apologize for running up the score? I understand that a fake punt when you're up by 30 doesn't really gain you anything, but I can't stand this idea of "not running up the score". This is a professional sport, not junior high girls basketball. It might actually do the franchise that is getting destroyed some good to have the score run up on them a few times. Maybe then they'll wake up and actually try to get better instead of whining
eta: I hate Carroll, but for other reasons than his team is really good

Are people saying he should apologize?

Meh, I don't have an issue with running it up, but running a trick play to pile on seems less than sporting.

I seem to remember Carroll getting pretty upset with Jim Harbaugh when Stanford ran the score up on USC by going for two when the Cardinal was already up by a ton at the end of the game.

Running up the score is a non-issue in professional sports. You're paid to stop them or keep it close. If you can't, then it's your problem.

I might have an issue with it in CFB, but this is pro football. Anything goes IMHO.

Seatlle is scary good right now. Pete should apologize after he loses the last game they play.

I hate when people get pissed about going for two or trying fakes when you're already blowing a team out. When will you get a chance to try those in live action? If it fails so what, you're up big. If not it gives you confidence you can do it in a situation where you'll really need to

They are professionals so they should not have their feelings hurt, but what he did was unsportsmanlike however.
The guy is a D-bag, so I would expect nothing less from him. Stupid time to call a fake punt, could have used it in the future when needed, but now everyone will be watching out for it.
