Call a gynocologist! We have a severe case of sand in a vagina, STAT! What's that? They're all treating Keith Brooking? Okay, never mind.

As the only team in the playoffs to TWICE fail to beat the NY Giants, they have no dignity. And who says points don't? It's probably not a coincidence that they went for the exact margin of victory needed to equal next week's opponent. They are going to have to travel and play in a noisy dome, against a team that has been the darlings of the media & bandwagon fans all season. Now Childress can tell his players "Hey, we ALSO won by 31 points! We are just as capable as they, and we did it against a better opponent than they did!" By showing that they can rack them up also, it nuetralizes any intimidation factor New Orleans might possess.

And since this was their last game in front of their hometown fans, I think it admirable that they played football all the way to the end, and gave them a show, rather than an excuse to hit the parking lot with ten minutes left in regulation. Their responsibility to their fans supercedes anything they might owe to a bunch of little snivelers who, after all, could have prevented the alleged "running-up" by playing better.

And what if a lineman (far more crucial to offensive performance than the QB) gets hurt on the pileup on the attempt? What if the RB (he's probably 3rd string for a good reason) fumbles? What if the field goal is blocked? So how is keeping the ball away from the Cowboys, rolling over and not actually playing football, upholding their dignity? According to you, they done the Cowboys wrong by...giving them a chance to win? That was YOUR judgment of their actions - they were stupid because they gave Dallas a chance, and they humiliated Dallas by giving them that chance? Maybe they simply have been reading the worshipful press Dallas has been receiving and did not think a mere 24 point lead was enough to get cocky against the tough defense and explosive offense of America's Team.
Anyway, it's not their fault if the Cowgirls ran out of field for the Vikings to chew up. They didn't leave them a lot of room to run down the clock much more. Why should they have gone for the field goal? How is that not running up the score too? All the Cowgirls had to do was tackle a 40-year old before he could throw, or, you know, cover someone, and there would have been NO increase in the score. Percentage wise, the best chance of keeping the score down at that point was what Minnesota did. As for the passes that got them to that point, first downs are the best way by far to run out the clock. A first down will waste a lot more clock than any running-up-the-middle play.

The same sort of thing Tony Homo does, no? Fumble a hold, throw an interception in the end zone, that kind of thing?

Wow, that's a generous assessment - three turnovers in a playoff game is "not choking"?



It's easy to win when you're the only team trying.
