In truly dramatic fashion, the Oakland Raiders actually won a game this past Sunday. In the last moments of the game, the Cleveland Browns attempted a field goal and made it. This would have won the game if the Raiders hadn't called a time-out at the last possible second. They set up again and the Raiders block it! They win! It only took twelve tries but they've won another game!
Now, usually this would be a great story to remember and talk about but not much more. To me however, I believe this is "playing dirty". To call a time-out at the last second is legal I suppose, but it takes away from the game. I'm not a Browns fan, so that is not where this is coming from, I just feel that those tactics are cheap.
The Browns are not the only ones who lost Sunday, the character of the sport took quite a hit as well.

At least the Steelers won though - 37-16.
And what about those Buckeyes? 58-7? Wow.
Steelers and Bucks... WOO!
Poor people who bought tickets to the Bucks game... it was less of a game and more of an annihilation!
Some people said it was poor sportsmanship to rack up that many points but what is Tressel supposed to do? Kneel the ball for the entire second half? If the second and even third strings can score, more power to them!
