Re: Vikings Run Up The Score: Brooking vs. Pat Williams

As far as I am concerned, a win is a win whether the score is 20-19 or 200-19, at the end of the day it is still a "1" in the win column.

But if any of you guys want to complain that some people are "whining", look no further than that thread from 2007. My money is that some of you are criticizing Brooking, were whining louder than anyone after that Patriots game.

If your gonna "talk the talk" you need to "walk the walk" to have any credibility.

Fair enough, although you're not the first person to bring this up in this thread. But surely you can see a difference between a message board whining about the score being run up and a player who just got whooped doing the same? I don't think anyone here would have an issue with people on one of your message boards being mad. That's what message boards are for. It's the the fact that a Dallas player complained, and more importantly the way that he complained, that is rubbing people wrong. Take a look at how Gibbs fielded questions about that 52-7 game for a further reference on how to classily handle such a situation.
