My point was that people shouldn't be crying about Minnesota being poor sports. Where's the sportsmanship in Wade calling timeouts when the game is practically over and the ball is in the hands of the other team? Take the loss like men and move on.
When did Wade take the timeouts, with like 6 minutes left?
I know the Cowboys were getting stomped and I'm not comparing Romo to Peyton Manning, but I saw Manning erase a three-touchdown deficit with FIVE minutes left to send the Colts into OT against Tampa and win the game. You just never know.
I do agree that the Vikes were running it up, but then again, the reaction can run both ways. The Skins were up 45-0 against the Lions once and were at the Detroit 1 late in the game and Gibbs had them take a knee....after the game, Chris Spielman of the Lions claimed that it was "disrespectful" of the Skins to take a knee. So..................
As for the other points, one of the other things about the Theismann incident in '78 was that he also spiked the ball after running out of the end zone.
The next year I believe Harvey Martin threw a wreath into the Skins locker room after Staubach led a comeback to beat the Skins by 1 and knock them out of the playoffs.
Of course I liked the video by bbgun! It reminded me of when they used to put the opposing team's name and colors around one of the goalposts at Texas Stadium.....always thought that was cool.
