Was The Pass To Shiancoe Wrong?? Heck No

Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker Keith Brooking wasn’t too fond of the Minnesota Vikings’ for going for a touchdown with minutes left in the game and up by 24.

“I thought it was classless,” Brooking said to Kevin Seifert (ESPN.com).  “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.”

He was seen walking past Vikings’ players and refusing to shake their hands when the game ended on Sunday.  Yeah, that’s classy right there.

Didn’t the Cowboys run up the score on the Philadelphia Eagles for the past couple games?  So it’s okay for your team to run up the score, but you whine about it if a team runs the score on you?

This is the NFL, a professional football league.  If you don’t want the opponent scoring on you, then stop them!

I like what Mike Florio (ProFootballTalk.com) had to say about this.  “Under the universal rules of Madden, he who opts to prolong the agony only invites more of it.  If Dallas wanted to concede the game they should have simply let the clock run.”

One thing for sure, the person who caught the ball doesn’t care what Brooking had to say.  “Okay, we apologize,” Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said.  “I’m sorry.  Better?”

    Keith Brooking is nothing but a crybaby ~ He didn’t say a word when the Cowgirls run up the score on the Eagles or anyone else for that matter ~ He just got a taste of what it’s like when your on the losing side in a game were the score got away from this team ~

    Had the shoe been on the other foot do anyone think he would have called out his team for running the score up ~ Heck no he would have ~ He would have been jumping around like the dummy he is ~
