Brooking calls final Vikes' score 'classless'

[gmb85]

The funny thing is the Vikes will probably lose 7-45 next week.

This whole thing pisses me off!!

It's bad enough that we lost the game, now everyone's gotta piss and moan about rubbing it in with a meaning less touchdown and give them greater satisfaction in knowing the very goal they set out to achieve was accomplished by scoring this touchdown, rubbing it in our face and seeing us writh in anger and frustration.

Regardless of whether it was classless or not is irrelevant. Don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you get upset!!

The players should tuck this moment away in a dark corner of their minds and let it fester for the next year, make them work harder, become a better team and prepare them for the moment when they can rip vindication from their opponents hearts.

I was picked on as a kid and I learned pretty early that if I didn't get upset and made fun of them for how weak their insults were, they got frustrated and gave up because if they couldn't enjoy seeing me get upset, then why bother trying to get a rise out of me, so they stopped.

Steal their thunder and don't ever give someone the satisfaction of knowing they got to you.

The loss is bad enough, don't sound like a bunch of pansy ***, poor losers!

What does anyone really hope to accomplish anyway? They can't take it back, what's done is done and we just look even more weak for bellyaching about it.

Perfection right here.

I didn't think anything could make me a Saints fan but damned if Favre and Co. didn't manage to do it.

I will enjoy watching them get destroyed next week.

The Jets beating Brett might be more satisfying.

 

[Road Warrior]

I can't wait for the trip to minnesota next season if this team has any balls (i question that right now) they'll make sure they get some payback for this next season

I hope its scheduled in the first week next season

Brooking did just what the racist preacher from the Packers did when we kicked an FG in 1996. He was yapping away.

Fat Pat wouldn't have caught Brooking anyway.

 

[ryanbabs]

We didn't run up the score against the Eagles though in both weeks. So what was he talking about?

Exactly...we were up 27-7 at halftime, and the last score was Felix's scamper in the 3rd Q. When the game is well decided and there are under 2 minutes left, that is running up the score.

 

[tyke1doe]

He should let it go, it looks worse on him than it does on them.
It's not a pity league and it's your choice to show some or not; if you choose to don't think it's general practice.

I never got bent out of shape when the Pats did it. You teach your team to play until the clock reads 00:00.

That's how you develop killer instinct.

unfortunately, this will be lost in all the armchair-football-player-manual-on-how-to-play-the-game-cliche-ness

 

[triplets92]

...talk about "classless"

how is classless to say that you hope a qb gets hit??? aren't hits part of their job??? besides if its a clean hit nobody can cry about it. im simply saying that i wouldn't pity him if he gets his clock cleaned by a 260lb man...honestly i might luagh alittle and you know you would too

I was hoping Ware would be holding a helmet with Bretts head in it while Bretts body was running around the field with his hands up looking for his head.

OH Whaaaaaatever. It's professional football. The payroll on the defense is more than you or I will ever see in a lifetime, or 60 lifetimes. There is every reason in the world for Minnesota to go for it. This is the P-L-A-Y-O-F-F-S!! You lose --you're done. Great teams put the nail in the coffin when they can, and MIN hammered that sucker in with authority today, the way it should be done. Think of Houston/Buffalo blowing a 31 point lead. The game is never EVER over until the last whistle blows. If you're clicking, you keep your foot pounded on the damn gas pedal. That's what they were doing, right? I mean, would you feel better if they just handed the ball over? Dallas wasn't conceding a loss...their offense would have come out after a turnover on downs and tried to force it right back down the field to stay in the damn game! Dallas was playing it out, so if MN "gave up," Why wouldn't DAL just quit too and everyone head to the locker room with 3 minutes left and sit around holding hands and have milk and cookies? I think it's more classy to give the defense a chance to stop rather than just handing the ball over. If they come out and attempt a field goal, that's running up the score. Go for a TD? That's running up the score. Handing the ball over? That's even more insulting because their quitting. Bottom line is there's just no good way to get blown out. The better team won. That's it--fair and square. "Unsportsmanlike" was going over and crying to the opposing head coach for you getting your *** handed to you. Where were these complaints when Dal was running up 50+ points on BUF in the Super Bowl or the last 2 weeks against Philly? :bang2:

Notice it's never the team winning that feels they "ran up the score." It's only perspective from sore losers to place the blame on someone other than themselves.

By far the best post I've seen on here all night. Being a Chiefs fan, I've had my share of recieving huge beat downs. But man, you guys got to suck it up and handle business next season. IMO, Brookings ahould have just took his lumps and stayed on his own side of the field. Think of how Green Bay felt when Barry Switzer let your field goal kicker run up the score on meaningless field goal after the game was out of reach to obtain a record.

 

[ETex]

I don't like either team and I usually root for the NFC when the 'boys are out of it.

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!


ALL THE WAY BABY.

Think about how the Queefs felt when Bill Cowher left them to become a winner. Or Montana never winning you ANYTHING in your history. I am sucking up the loss, and sorry if I'm used to watching my teams win. It's obvious your a bitter Queefs who was rooting for Roidhead Allen, and company.

Give me a break man.. Born and raised in the Bay Area and disliking the ownership of the 49ers enough to hate that franchise of what they are trying to do to San Francisco by moving the team south and dogging former players. I don't boast on the success of a team to try and belittle another
. Last time I checked the 49ers have as many trophies as the Cowboys and are 5-0 in the Super Bowl. You've lowered me to your level.

Brooking calls final Vikes' score 'classless'

MINNEAPOLIS -- Tempers flared Sunday at the Metrodome after Minnesota’s final touchdown of a 34-3 playoff victory over Dallas. Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking sprinted toward the Vikings’ sideline, taunting coach Brad Childress and later calling the late score “classless.”

Vikings nose tackle Pat Williams, meanwhile, said Brooking was lucky to escape the Minnesota sideline in one piece.

"We don’t care what Keith Brooking says,” Williams said. “He was about to get his *** whupped on our sideline over there. It don’t matter. Nobody said anything when they blew out the Eagles [the past two weeks]. It’s the playoffs. It ain’t no regular-season game. If you lose, you go home. We take no pity on them. Do they expect us to? I don’t care about no Brooking. He can say whatever he wants to say.”

To recap: Ahead 27-3 late in the fourth quarter, Childress left his starters in the game. The Cowboys gave up the ball on downs at their 37-yard line with 5:26 remaining, and the Vikings threw three passes on their ensuing six-play drive. The final one was an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on fourth-and-3 with 1:55 remaining.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips acknowledged that the Vikings ran up the score, but he didn't seem particularly bothered by it. But Brooking was about to take the last score in stride.

"I thought it was classless," he told me. "I thought it was B.S. Granted, we get paid to stop them, but we had zero timeouts left. I didn’t think there was any call for that."

Told of Brooking’s comments, Shiancoe laughed and said: “OK, we apologize. I’m sorry. Better?”

Feel free to weigh in both this post and over at SportsNation.

I have no problem with teams running up the score on other teams.If they don't like it,then they need to man up and stop it.I will say this about coaches that do run up the score.If your in this league long enough,it will eventually come back to get you.

So you go ahead, and cheer on Kansas ****ty. Who are probably far worse than the 49ers at the moment. It's all good. You like who you like. Fair enough. But it seems that fans of loser organizations(Commanders for example) will troll away here. They get enjoyment over our displeasure. It's what makes their worthless lives seem much brighter. So to try and compete with us. They go after the biggest names out there. IE Shanahan, and Haslett, and will soon realize that plan will fail in no time. You want to show class stop acting like an Eagles fan, and be sympathetic. We earned the right to talk **** to opposing fans with nothing to compensate for.
