I am disgusted by the Cowboy's whining about that last Vikes TD - It's football...

[old mark]

they are supposed to try to score points and you are supposed to try to stop them. They did - you didn't.

Get over it - you lost big.

1. I agree

actually I think the last touchdown was a surprise to the Vikings also....


just happy the Cowgirls lost....


lost

[old mark]

3. I think so, too - I think it was just Favre having a great time. nt.

[gmoney]

2. "There's no crying in football!"

To paraphrase Jimmy Dugan

[old mark]

4. Except in Dallas, I guess....nt

[blueamy66]

5. Yep, just Brett being a boy.

You gotta love Brett.

And the fact that he whoopped the Cowgirls....just icing on the big ole cake!

I felt such joy in my cold dead heart watching J Jones on the sideline. Utter sheer joy.

[merh]

8. Didn't that last touchdown give Brett Favre his first

4 touchdowns in a game?

Screw Dallas, the other team was playing the game and setting records. Perhaps Dallas should have tried to do the same.

[blueamy66]

39. Exactly.

It was a good dig on the Pack as well. Serves them right. :-)

[Oceansaway]

6. cry me a river...ty Favre for sending

them cry babys home....now off to Indy !!

[joeybee12]

7. Bret Favor did to the Cowboys what no one else was able to do...

...make them look classy by comparison. What a putz he is.

[Generic Brad]

10. Bitching and whining like a spoiled child to the other team's bench is classy?

Stay classy, Dallas.

[joeybee12]

14. Scoring when you don't need to so you can finally say you got 4TD's..

...Bret Favor is a worthless little toad, if there is a God, the Saints will humiliate him.

[TZ]

19. Dude.

You are a fan of Bill Belichick. Your standards of what is classy are ummmm VERY debatable....:rofl:

[joeybee12]

22. Have you proposed to Bret?

I don't understand why people like the dipshit.

[TZ]

24. I respect his abilities

As a person, yeah he's a diva and a jerk. As a lot of atheletes are. Gosh, if I disliked teams just cause people are assholes, I certainly couldn't root for the Skins now could I? :)

[alarimer]

29. Because he wins.

He manages to win most of the time. This year is one of his best years, only 7 interceptions. But he puts his money where his mouth is and gets it done. He is very, very good, certainly one of the very best. And made the Vikings the team to beat. I think New Orleans is likely to lose to them next weekend, especially if the Minnesota defense plays as well as they did this week,

[mix]

9. of course you are, you're an Eagles fan

Dallas owns the NFC East, get used to it.

[old mark]

16. After the 'Boys rolled all over the Eagles 3x this year, the Eagles website

was furious - at the Eagles coaches and players. I don't recall a single post there weeping about the nasty Cowboys running up the score or being nasty.

Face it, Dallas is in last place forever when it comes to class. And I am sure most people replying here are not Eagles fans.

11. Going for more points was a mildly dickish thing to do, but the criticism

is best left to everyone other than the losing team. To complain when you had a chance to stop it does look whiny...

[KG]

12. i'm not disgusted, i'm amused. i think it's a hoot.

Ha-ha

[CBR]

13. I agree. This is professional sports for crying out loud. nt

[Taverner]

15. One of the reason I always root against TX teams - - they're a bunch of crybabies

And to boot, they're sore winners :evilgrin:

[jobycom]

17. Speaks poorly of you, then.

I didn't much care about the TD, and I thought Brooking was out of line complaining about it, but I hated the Vikings reaction afterwards. Everyone knows there's a tradition in football not to do that. The Cowboys weren't even defending against it, anyway, so it's like stealing a base when a pitcher doesn't care.

If the Vikes had just said "Yeah, we got carried away," or "We were trying to pad Brett's numbers to meet an accelerator clause in his contract," I wouldn't care. But the open taunting and whining from the Vikings about it is out of line. You can tell they know they were assholes, because they are all acting more like assholes. It's something you don't do in the NFL, every team knows it, every team complains when it's done to them.

But because some assholes got a stick up their ass about hating the Cowboys, suddenly it's ok. Just speaks poorly of the speaker, that's all.

[trotsky]

21. Dallas Cowboys' Keith Brooking motivates the team with pregame fire

http://www.wfaa.com/internal?st=print&id=81921482&path=/sports

Before the Washington game, as players gather around, Brooking screams, "We're gonna keep hitting 'em, we're gonna keep hitting 'em!" Players shout, "Yeah!" after both lines.

Brooking, wide-eyed and picking up speed, says, "They might get back up. Then we're gonna hit 'em again! And when they're barely hanging on ...

At this point Choice cuts in, "What're we gonna do?"

Brooking concludes: "We're gonna hit 'em in the mouth! We're gonna bloody their nose! We're gonna knock 'em to the ground!"

How fitting he was the one who had his underpants in the biggest knot about the Vikings' late score.

[jobycom]

23. Which is the point of playing defense in the NFL

You fire up your team before the game.

That's different than a sucker punch after the bell rings.

[trotsky]

25. The bell had not rung.

And did you notice a member of the offense jumping right in with Brooking's chant? Give me a break! Whiny Cowpies!

[jobycom]

26. It had rung.

The Cowboys had folded. That's exactly the same as Buddy Ryan making the Eagles fake a kneel down in the final seconds, then throwing a TD pass just to run up the score. That one was so bad even the Eagles players came up to the Cowboys immediately afterwards and apologized for it, saying Ryan forced them to.

The Vikings have no class. Firing up your team before a game is just the way it's done, no one complains about that. The Vikings were doing the same thing on their side. It's rhetoric. No one runs a TD play in that situation. No one. Everyone knows that's running up the score. The Vikings would be screaming to Almighty Joe Montana God if that was done to them, and everyone knows it. Everyone. That's why they are so whiny and defensive about it--they know it was classless.

[trotsky]

27. Somebody call the...

[TZ]

30. Hey Trotsky

Nice to see you in the Lounge. I see what it takes to get you to post here..some good ol fashioned Cowpie bashing...:rofl:

[trotsky]

31. Yeah I'll pile on. Especially when the Cowpies are at the bottom of the pile.

C'mon, does anyone REALLY think that if the situation were completely reversed and the Cowpies had gotten that late score on a TD, that the Cowpie fans would be ANYTHING less than gloating mercilessly about it and telling everyone who had a problem with it to get over it?

[TZ]

32. True!

Well not Jobycom, I have to give it to him he's pretty classy...but as for the others, not so much...;)

[jobycom]

33. The Cowboys have been in the situation where they could score.

They take the knee, or they run the ball to kill the clock.

Can you honestly say you think Phillips--one of the nicest guys in the NFL--would have done that? Or any other coach except Tice? You're wrong if you say yes, and you know it.

[trotsky]

35. Bullshit.

We only need to go back to Week 17 to blow that one out of the water.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gamecenter/playbyplay/NFL_20100103_PHI@DAL

Cowpies' second-to-last drive, Romo and the offensive starters are still in the game with a 24-0 lead AND THROWING THE BALL. The Eagles had even PUNTED on their previous possession, indicating they had given up.

[jobycom]

34. When the facts are against you, resort to insults.

Kind of like the Vikings. nt

[TZ]

36. !

:popcorn:

Maybe I should take back my compliment upthread..:P

[trotsky]

38. The facts are above in post #35.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=9215174&mesg_id=9215541

Were you condemning the Cowboys' lack of sportsmanship then?

[Captain Hilts]

28. The tie-breaking rules of the regular season force you to run up the score. Not in post-season.nt

[PVnRT]

40. LOL that's your best defense?

That Brooking was firing up the defense before the game by using fighting language? Oh heavens, no!

I guess anything to excuse running up the score to pad The Diva's career postseason numbers is acceptable.

[trotsky]

44. Actually no, the best defense is the Cowpies doing the same thing in week 17.

See post #35. Starters in, throwing the ball, up 24, late in the 4th Q. What made it worse for the Cowpunks was that the Eagles had given up by punting. They had surrendered.

[Captain Hilts]

18. They should be big enough not to whine- it was bad form on the Vikings' part as much as I enjoyed it

[dugaresa]

20. I grew up hating the Cowboys, in fact when I was a kid our teacher made us

write letters to kids in a Dallas school because the Steelers were playing the Cowboys in the '79 Super Bowl and she and some other teachers thought it would be cute for kids in Pittsburgh and Dallas to exchange letters. I just remember how obnoxious the letters from those kids in Dallas were and how it just set the stage for the nastiest pen pal letters between the two schools. The teachers ended up having to put an end to it.

So I delighted in the game last night!

Since my own beloved Steelers are not in the playoffs due to their schizo performance this season, I am rooting for the New Orleans Saints! I was in New Orleans a few years ago, loved the place, people and atmosphere!

[pintobean]

37. General Discussion: Football? n/t

[madinmaryland]

41. Nice post, Bellicheck? Are you still upset that the Cowboys beat the Eaglets

THREE times this year??

:D

[old mark]

42. Actually, that was LAST YEAR - the season is over.

We will beat the 'boys in '10, and they will whine some more - a fine Texas whine, goes with chicken fried steak.


mark

[madinmaryland]

43. Actually the Eaglets lost to the Cowboys twice in 2010!!

:evilgrin:

[KamaAina]

45. +34-3

:P
