Vince... you stole the title I was going to use. I prefer this clip to yours.
Keith Brooking is a hypocritical crybaby.
First of all, in his pregame ritual, he says something to the effect of, "When we get them down, what are we going to do? Stomp on their throats..." which makes it so ironic, that when the cowboys were down, the Vikings eliminated any chances that they might have had by "stomping on their throats."
Second of all, you can see through the clip that the way that Keith plays the game is classless, which once could also argue is a product of the environment/team. Cause we all know and have heard of how dirty the cowboys players are, like tripping and kicking players... ie. Justin Tuck.
And lastly, and also probably most damning, is that I recall in the prior week, that they ran up the score on the Eagles. So, apparently, Mr. Keith Brooking thinks that it's only classless when it's done to him and his team. What a joke. I agree with what Jimmy Johnson said following the game:
"That was an old fashioned ass-whipping. And if you want them to stop, then stop them. If you can't, why should the other team do anything for you? This is the PLAYOFFS."
Quick thought to Mr. Keith Brooking...
How is it classless to score a TD when you don't/can't defend it? So you stack 8-9 people in the box because there's less than 2 minutes left, they have 11x your score, and you think that they will run the ball to run out the clock? Isn't the mantra "You take what they give you?" If you don't want them to score then don't give them that opportunity.
Icing on the Cake...
For me it was watching the released kicker from the Redskins that the cowboys picked up, miss field goals. Not that those field goals would have made the game any closer... but it definitely made my smile a little bit bigger. The cowboys got CRUSHED and I loved it. To echo Vince... Go Vikings.
Edit*
By the way I was looking back at some of our posts from 2008... I think I'm prophetic.
