It's one thing to keep going for points with 5-6 minutes left on the clock. Anyone who's watched the league for any amount of time, knows what can happen inside the 3-minute warning. But on the last play of the game? C'mon, man!
Perhaps then we should let Wally have the final say?

Published reports quoted a couple of Lions accusing the Alouettes of “running up the score” in last Friday’s 24-9 win over B.C. Lions GM Wally Buono had no sympathy for the whiners. “This is professional football,” he said. “You play for 60 minutes.”
