If The Score of Your Game is a Blowout Both in Your League and a Different League Entirely, then YES, It Is the Worst Shellacking of All Time
This guy seems to think that the 30-3 shellacking Baltimore received from Texas in a BASEBALL game was NOT the worst beatdown every in sports competition. I admit that the stakes weren't high, but for God's sake, a 30-3 football game is a BLOWOUT,and in baseball terms 30-3 is 4-0.
I am also considering writing a contrarian article called "I Love Steely McBeam" and I just KNOW Slate will publish it. Here's why. And here.

Mike Golic (of all people) had some cool stats about this game this morning. Comparing the percent increase from a typical game in different sports, apparently this 30 run outburst is comparable to a team scoring 120 points in football, or a team scoring 600+ points in a basketball game. So, yeah, that's a beatdown.
And what about that Bears 73, Redskins 0 score from 1940? Interestingly, Brunell wasn't that bad that day, but the defense forgot to show up. Literally. They all thought the game was on Sunday, not Saturday, so they were at the Cubs game. True story.
OK, this comments area sucks.
