Video: Vikings throw late TD in blowout, Brooking goes after Favre
yahoo ^ | 1.17.10 | Chris Chase

Did the Minnesota Vikings run up the score on the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday's NFC divisional playoff? Keith Brooking(notes) thinks so. A late Brett Favre(notes) touchdown pass infuriated the Dallas linebacker, who charged over to the Vikings' sideline to voice his displeasure. And in his postgame press conference he didn't back down. The Vikings had held a comfortable 27-3 lead since the early part of the fourth quarter. Dallas looked completely deflated after going down 24 points and the team's subsequent play did nothing to dispel that notion. On the Cowboys' next two possessions the team went four-and-out, gaining a mere 14 yards on eight plays.

Since the Cowpies and their supporters have done so much chest-pounding over the past few weeks, I guess they’ve got to pick something to whine about.

As noted earlier, “if you don’t want them to score, stop them”.

As someone who lives in Green Bay and has hated the Cowboys back in the 90s when they were eliminating the Packers from the playoffs, it's kind of hard for me to gin up tears. I don't blame Favre for doing what he did although it hurts to see him doing it as a Viking.

Rumor also has it that Wade Philipps is toast.

why would Jerry Jones fire him? If you want to fire the reason the cowboys haven't won is cause you can't fire an owner.

Jerry Jones started thinking he was a "football expert" after two of Jimmy Johnson's teams won Super Bowls and he got that idiot Switzer to take another Jimmy Johnson team to the Super Bowl.

I wish Jerry would just get in the owner's box, drink scotch and bang cheerleaders instead of playing general manager, coach and all around douche bag.

As I recall, the year before Jones bought the team, the Cowboys were 3-13.

Wade is an excellent coordinator who got the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Defensive Coordinators, IMO make horrible head coaches. Look at Buddy Ryan, Ray Rhodes, etc. Excellent coordinators but horrible as coaches.

I’ve despised the Cowboys ever since they went out of their way to taunt the Packers during a playoff game several years back in a sickening display of childish unsportsmanship.

I have no problem with Favre getting a little revenge.

My fear is that Jerry will do something nutty like hire Mike Leach.

I did not see the Cowboys throw in the towel or wave a white flag. Would they not have been very pleased to score on the Vikings at that juncture (if they could have).

The pussy-fication of football continues. Must I really take up watching rugby to find the last real men in sports?

And then the Vikings traded for Herschel Walker?

I dont think Favre, Childress or any Viking fan in the building gives a rat's ass about the Cowboy's feelings.

Maybe the Cowboy's ought to feel bad about how they allowed the Vikings to run up the score.

And he can take that Redskins reject no-kick place kicker Sean Suisham with him too.

What are you supposed to do in a playoff game when you have a big lead? Sit on the ball?

Has anyone noticed how much the Viking coach looks like the convicted spy, John Walker?

I always thought he looked like a liberal college professor. ROFL

Oh, that would be a blast.

Fat Girlfriends and locking Tony Romo in a shed.

There's no such thing as "running up the score". If one team can't keep the other team from scoring, whether it's on the first play of the game or the last, then the defense simply isn't playing very well. For a defense to try to blame it's own shortcomings on the fact that the other team's offense scored again is simply whining on the part of the defense.
