Kravitz is such a hypocrite

A great blog entry from Eric Wilbur on boston.com (thanks to Jim for the link) that talks about how hypocritical the whole RunUpGate thing is, especially when it comes to columnists like Bob Kravitz of the Indy Star.

Here's an excerpt from the blog in which Wilbur points out 4 consecutive drubbings (49-14, 41-10, 41-9, 51-24) in which the Colts destroyed their opponents in 2004.

"The Colts were celebrated as the bright and shining star of the NFL. Following the 51-24 win over Tennessee, the Indy Star's Bob Kravitz wrote, "At this point, we're not just watching football anymore. We're watching history. Every week, the Indianapolis Colts' offense uses the football field as its canvas, and every week, it creates an art form that is distinct from everything else in the copycat NFL."

Flash forward almost three years, and the very same Kravitz wrote about the juggernaut New England Patriots, "In the last three weeks, New England has scored 48, 49, and 52 points, inspiring inquiring minds to wonder, 'Did the Patriots pile on?' And every week, the obvious answer is, 'Duh.'"

This pretty much encapsulates the entire RunUpGate media frenzy that has taken place the last few weeks.

*** Update - Kravitz strikes back with a good defense of Wilbur's assertions that the Colts had run up the score as well. He says only one TD was in the 4th quarter. Good points Kravitz, of course the Patriots have been criticized for scoring at the end of the half, in the beginning of the 3rd quarter, and end of the 3rd quarter for games this year.
