It's probably how we'll feel when Newman finishes his career somewhere else.

[Asklesko]

Would it be so bad if Newman were to not retire a Cowboy? He's been pretty embarrassing lately.

I think we offered him more money in FA

I think him doing the dirty bird and him yelling and making all types of motions at thier bench was classless

sorry just MO

No, he got cut.

Wow, can you say butthurt, Falcons fans?

When did he do the dirty bird? I didn't catch it. And so what if he did it? The way they cut him was classless.

Here he is getting ready in the locker room and leading the team before warmups.

Most Falcons fans in this town still love Keith Brooking. He's from Atlanta, played college ball at Ga Tech. I think any and all articles/fan posts/etc you read like this are decidedly in the minority.

under most circumstances maybe....but all the years, effort, heart and dedication he gave them just for a new regime to cut him and tell him "its a young mans game"....right or wrong you cant blame the player for wanting revenge...

A day after he was unable to reach a deal to remain in Atlanta linebacker Keith Brooking has joined the. Cowboys.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3942571

unrestricted free agent after 11 seasons. Although the Falcons made Brooking an offer, he would have had to accept a significant pay cut

 

[DIAF]

Well, the Falcons were right to cut him. His play had diminished, and they replaced him with Mike Peterson who has made a ton of plays this season.

They also weren't offering a starting role. They basically told him "Goodbye, unless you'd like to be a backup. You're not good enough to start here."

Man, he's quickly becoming one of my favorite Cowboys, if not my favorite. And I love that he loves being a Cowboy. That pic is epic.

get back to when you got you story right he was not cut - Alanta offered him a pay cut in FA dallas offered him more

I don't think so. I never read anything reported that Atlanta offered him a pay cut to stay. His contract ran out with them and they chose not to re-sign him.

One of those Falcons fans mentioned them offering him a pay cut, but that is the first I've heard of it.

I don't know what happened over there only can speculate

but I know what I saw today an it was classless

I sure he wanted to get back at them but not by doing the dirty bird etc

IMO
