Cowboys vs. Vikings, Brookings View

[TeamPlayer1]

It looks like Brooking likes to rub it in when he wins but if the Cowboys lose it's a different story! Sunday's game should be good.

It's Friday. More football is coming on Sunday. So we fill some space for now with 10 takes regarding the story lines for the weekend that will be.

Of course, you likely know that by now.

So we'll shut up and let you read the thing.

1. Cowboys shouldn't worry about last year.

Last year, with the Vikings leading the Cowboys 27-3 in the final moments of a division-round playoff game, Minnesota threw for the end zone -- and scored another touchdown.

Linebacker Keith Brooking didn't like it.

"I thought it was classless," Brooking said at the time. "I thought it was B.S. Granted, we get paid to stop them, but we had zero timeouts left. I didn't think there was any call for that."

Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams took the bait: "It's the playoffs. It ain't no regular-season game. If you lose, you go home. We take no pity on them. Do they expect us to? I don't care about no Brooking. He can say whatever he wants to say."
