The Dallas Cryboys!

By Cory Williams

Let’s face it, The Minnesota Vikings dismantled the Dallas Cowboys in every facet of the game and as time wound down in the fourth quarter the Cowboys truly let their lack of mental toughness show.

With the Vikings leading 27-3 and 1:55 left in the game the Vikings Brett Favre, on fourth down, completed an 11 yard pass to Visanthe Shiancoe for a touchdown and a 34-3 lead. The score caused Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking to sprint towards the Minnesota sideline and give Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress an earful about what he later called a “classless” score.

What was “classless” was the way Brooking handled the situation. This is the NFL Keith, not pee wee football. If you don’t like the fact that the Vikings keep scoring, STOP THEM! I don’t care if the score was 64-3, this is the NFL Playoffs, if you can’t hang, you deserve to get run out of the building. The Vikings, Saints, Colts, and Jets are playing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl and they have earned the right to do whatever they deem necessary to better themselves for a championship.

Dear Baltimore Sports Fans,

Don’t get mad the next time Camden Yards is run over by Red Sox fans. We learned Sunday during the Ravens-Patriots game is that Boston sports fans are fair-weather friends.

The only thing more embarrassing than the Patriots performance on the field was the fans performance in the stands.

For starters, the team struggled to sellout a playoff game. Jacksonville would have performed better at the gate if the Jaguars got into the playoffs.

Tom Korun - WFTS, Tampa

As we will move forward in our blogging relationship, you and I will likely agree to disagree. You'll learn I mean what I say, and say what I mean. If you don't bring passion, don't waste my time and yours!

David Francois - WFTS, Tampa

A Virginian by birth, David Francois can be found at Elmer’s in Ybor City on Sundays, the only Redskins bar in Tampa. He attended JMU and is proud to say he went to the same school as Scott "Wide Right" Norwood.

Brian Nutt - KJRH, Tulsa

Living in Tulsa means Golden Hurricanes, Sooners, or Cowboys, but not for this guy. Woo Pig Sooie Razorbacks! Nothing like a fall evening in Razorback Stadium calling the Hogs.

Aaron Heintzelman - KSHB, Kansas City

Aaron hopes to use his limited football expertise to fuel many fantasy victories this year, but a quick look at his roster proves he has some work to do. Aaron's true allegiances lie with the Eagles, but you'll also catch him tuning into Chiefs, Steelers and Dolphins games.

Tom Leyden – WXYZ, Detroit

The first book Tom ever read was, "Super Bowl," by John Devaney, written in 1971. He was hooked from that moment. He knows every Super Bowl site, score and MVP. Go ahead - try him. Especially XXI, XXV and XLII. G-Men!

Ian Preuth - WCPO, Cincinnati

I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life so I've seen many bad teams and a few good ones. Most of the time the good teams get screwed because Cincinnati is cursed. I can watch any sport, enjoy competition no matter what it is and appreciate a good debate.

Larry Carney - WMAR, Baltimore

Larry loves crab cakes, football and everything purple and black. He hates Heinz ketchup, Primanti Brothers’ sandwiches and all things Pittsburgh. His fantasy football teams grab running backs on good teams and wide receivers on bad ones. Hidden Talent: Great heckler.

Jeff Heisner - KNXV, Phoenix

I grew up and worked in Detroit and have a keen sense for what bad football really is. After escaping to Arizona I've come to find out professional football isn't all that bad.

Craig Fouhy - KNXV, Phoenix

He's played the game, he's been a coach, and now he's spouting off about it! It's not just about highlights in Phoenix...out here it's a little bit of highlights and a lot of..."Fouhy on Sports!"

Cory Williams - KNXV, Phoenix

Representing the west coast! Cory has spent the last 15 years covering the desert dwelling teams of Arizona. When you’re tired of all the east coast bias (and there's plenty of it here!)...Laugh it off and look west!

Wyatt Wright - WPTV, West Palm Beach

Wyatt Wright is a husband, father and football fan. When he's not yelling at the neighbor kids to get off his lawn, he's reminiscing about seventh grade, when he was a scrappy but undersized linebacker for the 110-pound "B" squad.

Chip Mahaney - E.W. Scripps, Cincinnati

Even though Chip's Cincinnati office has a view of the Bengals' stadium, his heart and mouth are native Texan. His first NFL memory: Super Bowl VI (Cowboys 24, Dolphins 3). Each Saturday in autumn, he prays for a resurrection of the Southwest Conference.
