I like winning.  I'd be more conflicted if you asked me to join ISIS.

I don't get this one - of course I would beat them. 

Why would I want to help them break a record?  Records should be respected.  If there is a record there to be broken, then the team should have to earn every bit of that.  To intentially let a team win so they can get a record defeats the purpose and subtracts meaning / significance from their achievement.

It's like if you are making a run to beat the 72 game win record, and you have tied that record at 72 games with one game left to play.

If the other team throws the game and LETS you win, then you didn't really win...the other team essentially forfeited.  You didn't earn anything.  The win would be a win on paper only, and would be without honor.

So Bret Favre letting Strahan get that sack means Strahan is not the sack leader in NFL?

On paper he is, just like Crimson said, but he didn't earn it. That's a perfect example, so don't be sarcastic.

Celtics win and then go on a 25 game win streak of their own. then they win the championship beating the Warriors four straight and all the tankers start foaming at the mouth and are mistaken for Zombies and are all shot in the head.....the end.

That would be BEAUTIFUL.

But the Blog would be somewhat empty minus the tankers.........

is this seriously a question?

Every team should try to win every game.  C's may try like hell to beat them but I think GSW will take of business without the C's having to worry about possibly conceding the game ::)

It's gonna be a non issue. Golden State is probably gonna chew us up and spit us out like they've done to the rest of the league.
