I see five times during the season where MN was ahead by less than they were with Dallas late in the game, deep in the opponents side of the field, after their opponent was out of TO and each time they ran the ball, took a knee or kicked a FG. Not once did they go for the endzone. There were many other times they were ahead in their own end of the field and took a knee also. Didn't try to push the field and score either.
Changing here was very unsportsmanlike and classless.

Actually the final NYG game, they were up 34-0 with 7 or 8 minutes to go and they went for it on 4th and 1. Favre threw a TD pass to Tahi and no one complained then - I remember there too, the commentators saying something about how they can't kick the FG as that would add points to a blowout.
I don't think they were classless, I think they just wanted to keep the momentum going. That last Giants game was out of hand and they kept the foot to the pedal to keep momentum for the playoffs and it looks like it didn't hurt them in the Dallas game. I really don't see why people are up in arms about this. Its football, its not lawn bowling.
If I was Brooking, I would have been more angry about the fact that you didn't even show up for your millions of fans watching. Fine, kick the Fg. Even 30-3, thats embarassing considering its the playoffs. He should have been that fired up on D and maybe they would have stopped them once. If you stop them, there's no issue, like they stopped them on the previous 4th down, they weren't running around then crying like babies.
You get paid millions of dollars to play a game. So your crying like a baby because Big Bad Favre made you play another down, waaaaaaaaaaaaah. Be a man and stop them. You knew they were gonig for it, its not like their faked a FG. Earn your paycheck.
