Keith Brooking undergoes knee surgery

K. Brooking.jpgCowboys second round pick Sean Lee will get a chance to show what he can do at pre-training camp practices.

That’s because Dallas starting inside linebacker Keith Brooking underwent arthroscopic surgery recently (the only kind in the offseason), according to Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News.  Brooking is expected
to be ready for training camp
.

It’s uncertain if Brooking will practice at all in OTAs or minicamp, but we’re doubting it based on Archer’s report.  His absence gives Lee and 2009 third-round pick Jason Williams time to compete at inside linebacker.

Brooking, turning 35, still remains the favorite to start for the Cowboys in Week One.

    I wonder if Brooking is still mad that the Minnesota BrettFavres ran him and his Defense out of Minneapolis

    Keith Brooking is a cry baby

  3. CLosISgood says: May 12, 2010 5:40 PM

    I wonder if Favre will finally die this season.

  4. blackglass says: May 12, 2010 5:40 PM

    Wonder if he cried like a little bitch at any point. Hey Keith, if you don’t like teams scoring on you…well, you play D. Take all the energy you used crying like a girl about it, and channel that into stopping them.

  5. EskinSux says: May 12, 2010 5:45 PM

    Did he get his yeast infection cleared up as well?

  6. DatSkinzDude78 says: May 12, 2010 5:45 PM

    Brookings is a bum. I never seen a grown man get so in touch with his feelings because Jared Allen ate of the offensive line.

  7. BigMikeSkinsFan says: May 12, 2010 5:48 PM

    hopefully they give him some big boy pants to go with that new knee…

    I wonder if Washington will score more than 6 points total vs. Dallas next year.

    A source close to the situation reported that Brooking also had a vaginal lip reduction procedure.

    Jarred Allen is a drunk, redneck who “will break your neck and send you a check for it.”
    Awesome. Not.

  13. MasterShake says: May 12, 2010 5:57 PM

    He should have gone with the “addadicktome”. A little more complex but probably worth it to this biatch.

  14. Delta2k8 says: May 12, 2010 5:58 PM

    Jared Allen only wrecked AFTER Flozell got injured…before that point, he was a no-show.

  15. TheRedBengal says: May 12, 2010 5:59 PM

    Agreed guys. If I was the Dallas’ d-coordinator during that Vikes game and saw that they still were throwing the ball with the lead they had, I’d of just started to blitz like crazy, and told my guys to smack Favre around, even if it meant laying a few cheap shots on him. That would have got them to stop throwing.
    Or, the better way, would have been to stop them. But then again, the offense did them no favors

  16. toddm6d says: May 12, 2010 6:03 PM

    He would benefit more from brain surgery.

  17. CLosISgood says: May 12, 2010 6:16 PM

    If he were still a Falcon. You guys would say, “who cares.”
    Must feel good to hate all things Cowboys.
    Must suck to be a fan outside of the greater Dallas, Boston, San Fran, & Pittsburg areas.

  18. Jaso says: May 12, 2010 6:20 PM

    You know I really didn’t have a problem w/ the Vikes running up the score.. you know whatever… To me it was how Brett celebrated after the score…. jumping around smacking his teammates asses… I mean he acted as though that was the winning score, when the game was already put away. Just kinda of classless.
    And if you are going to use quotes it would be better to use one from Lombardi or Landry.. .not The f-ing Mighty Ducks movie.. I mean….really???!!!

  19. manofaiki says: May 12, 2010 6:23 PM

    Tell me these aren’t the same douches who were whining when the Pats ran up 56 points on the Skins.
    Brooking is a leader and he was the best thing to happen to that Cowboys D last year.
    #2 defense in the league in points surrendered, right behind the Jets. And it’ll only get better.
    Scary, eh?

  20. DoomsDayD75 says: May 12, 2010 6:24 PM

    The Vikings got what was coming to them for running up the score on the Cowboys. They choked like always in the post-season. Good luck with Tavaris Jackson as your QB.

  21. manofaiki says: May 12, 2010 6:26 PM

    The Dallas Cowboys do not do the cheap shot thing.
    We have good, hard nosed football players like Brooking.
    Every shot Farve gets if he plays this year against Dallas will be perfectly legal.

  22. rickah8888 says: May 12, 2010 6:42 PM

    I’m still waiting for the exclusive Keith Brooking Limited Edition Box of Tissues to debut. Hopefully this medical treatment won’t cause any lengthy delays!

    And the Cowboys got what was coming to them by running the score up on the Eagles…
    Plus watch the tape, Brooking already showed what a busher he is when got up by using Percy Harvin instead of the ground…
    Funny, when he went into his Mr. Tough Guy act, he sure got the hell out of Dodge when Jared Allen made a move towards him…

    Do you really drink that much Kool aid bozo?………..Seriously, do the dallas cowboys practice not giving cheap shots?……Damn bozo, i realize this squad is now the class of the NFC east, but get a freakin grip, now you are the perfect football team, you win one playoff game in 15 years, and all the sudden you don’t cheap shot, only Dallas back on the winning track knows how to win or LOSE a playoff game…….How do you know they don’t do the cheap shot thing?……..Are you on the coaching staff?

    Knee surgery is classless and b.s.!

    He should know that it’s pretty classless to get knee surgery at this point in the offseason.

    Actually, it’s pretty sweet being in NYC. Despite having a horrible secondary and an injury plagued year, the Giants ruined your home opening and won the rematch just for fun and we just crushed Jerruh by beating your asses at home to win it all two years ago. BTW – caught Romo last nite on TV just for fun. Couldn’t tell who was more out of shape, Tony or the lard asses he was supposed to “inspire”. How old do you think he’ll have to be before he stops wearing the baseball hat backwards EVERYWHERE he goes?

    Been a Dallas Cowboys fan all my life and cannot understand why “others” seem to think the past equals the present.
    Stop coming on here and living in the past. Get off the bandwagon or stay and STFU!
    Brookings motivational pregame rants are a joke and if he wants to play smash mouth football then he’d better back it up.
    There’s lots of work to be done before anyone can brag about these Cowboys.
    NEXT!

  42. Route36West says: May 12, 2010 9:55 PM

    Florio talking about Brooking’s knee is “classless”. Its “BS” that you linked Sean Lee to his injury and doubting that he will make OTA’s . There’s “No Call For That”. He also thought it was “classless” of his knee to get hurt.
    Everytime I hear this guys name I think about South Park’s version of Michael Jackson “That’s ignant, That’s ignant”
    Brooking is the biggest cry baby in the NFL.

  43. East Bay Ray says: May 12, 2010 10:05 PM

    Do you Cowboys haters have a system where you get a text message any time PFT posts a Cowboys story, so that you can all come to the comment section and make essentially the same joke? And it’s a tired joke that isn’t very funny to begin with. Yeah, the multi-Pro Bowl NFL LB Keith Brooking is a pussy. Right. He could kick any of your fat, couch-surfing asses with one hand tied behind his back.

    Yea the Superbowl will be at the Cowboys home the only thing is the Cowboys wont be there when it happens.
    Even though I never want the Giants or Redskins to win a SuperBowl if the Eagles dont make it this year I would gladly watch 1 of those 2 teams win the first Superbowl played in Jerry’s brand new billion dollar stadium and ruin it for him.
    He was obviously compensating for something when he built it and if 1 of those teams win that old liver spotted thing will shrivel up and fall off.

    ‘WE GON BUST EM IN DEY MOUT”–Keith Brooking, moments before getting his mouth busted by AP

  51. jbrownsjockitch says: May 12, 2010 11:04 PM

    I have a friend who works at this hospital. Apparently Keith did not have knee surgery. Brookings actually had a Brett Favre bobblehead surgically removed from his vagina, due to an offseason masturbating incident. While admitted Brookings also had a procedure to have his gag reflex removed, much to the enjoyment and partially funded by Tony Romo. In positive cowboy news, sources confirm in an effort to bring intelligence and fluidity to Brookings pre-game hype speeches, he has hired Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern show to write his material and Susan Boyle will be choreographing Brookings dance and celebration stylings. How Bout Dem boys!!

    Hate to break it to you but Romo is an elite QB who’s entering his prime. He’s also got a great supporting cast now that he didn’t have before. With the emergence of young talent like Mike Jenkins, Felix Jones, Miles Austin and Anthony Spencer he’s also things are looking real good in Cowboys land right now. You scared.
