Anyone who watched the conclusion of Sunday afternoon's game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys must have noticed Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking taking exception to Minnesota's last touchdown with 1:55 to go, which put the team up a whopping 34-3. Brooking stomped after a celebrating Brett Favre and yelled at the veteran QB and his coach Brad Childress, who decided to go for the touchdown pass on 4th down on the 11 yard line. Raises eyebrows, sure, but was it cheap?
Brooking obviously felt that way, and wasn't done letting off steam after the game.
"I thought it was totally classless and disrespectful," Brooking said. "This is the NFL, that's not what this is about. I don't think there's a place for that ... I was looking for Childress. I didn't think it was right."
I fall on the side of "If you had a problem with it, you should have stopped it from happening", but that's always the way I look at it in sports; however, I will admit the fact that it was 4th down makes me scratch my chin in a contemplative way...
