MINNEAPOLIS -- On a night when the Minnesota Vikings were once again frustrated with officials, the teams final offensive play proved to be a flash point.Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Cedric Thornton hit Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford in the helmet as Bradford threw incomplete on a two-point conversion that could have tied the game, but officials did not call a penalty. After the Vikings 17-15 loss, when Bradford was asked what explanation officials had given him for the non-call, the quarterback said, He told me that I did not get hit in the face mask.Bradford punctuated his response with a quizzical shrug, but defensive end Brian Robison was more animated.At the end of the day, thats a game-changing play and youve got to make those calls, Robison said. At the end of the game, Bradford gets hit in the face. Thats an opportunity for us to score and tie the ballgame, but it doesnt get called.Referee Tony Correntes crew penalized the Cowboys 10 times, but Robison didnt back downI dont care, he said. You can look at play in and play out. The problem is the costly penalties that dont get called. When you look at the play that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott scrambled [for 14 yards on a 3rd-and-11], there should have been penalties called on that play and they dont.It gets to a point where its too frustrating. I dont know. Im probably going to get fined for this, I understand that, but somebody has got to step up and say something.The defensive end, who forced a Prescott fumble late in the third quarter, said he tried to talk to officials, but it was to no avail.You always get the excuse, he said. I understand its a hard game to ref. I understand all that. I get that theres just so many things going on every single play, but I just feel like sometimes its just so blatant and obvious that it should be a no-miss call. ... Its just frustrating. You see it every single week. They say you can call holding every single week -- take a look at the tape. They send us stuff every single week, saying, Yeah, this should have been called. It does us no good when the games over.The Vikings became the first team to sack Prescott at least three times since Week 2, and Robisons forced fumble was one of two Vikings takeaways. The pressure created by one of the leagues best defensive fronts, though, could have teams looking for whatever edge they can find.Teams are going to do different things against us, because of what we are able to do with our front four and the blitz package we have, Robison said. Theyre going to try to establish the run, and then theyre going to try to do some max protections and things like that. You do see, a lot of times, a last-ditch effort, they just grab and hold. Its bad in a way, but at the end of the day, weve got to figure out a way to get it done.

NEW YORK -- For all of his victories during two decades on the tennis tour, including eight Grand Slam titles, Andre Agassi looks back most fondly these days on the aftermath of a loss.During an interview Tuesday in the city where he played his last professional match 10 years ago, Agassi called the way he walked away from the sport as good a moment as he had on court during his lengthy, successful always-in-the-spotlight careerOn Sept. 3, 2006, Agassi lost a third-round match at the U.S. Open against Benjamin Becker, then delivered an on-court speech in Arthur Ashe Stadium to an adoring crowd that gave him a lengthy standing ovation as he headed into retirement.It really brought together what its all been about from the beginning, which is people and connection. And it put everything into perspective: the ups, the downs, the successes, the failures, the triumphs, the comebacks. I not only grew up in New York, but New York helped me grow up, the 46-year-old Agassi said.So when all of a sudden it was over, and there was that raw emotion -- both on my end and 20,000 other people who were in the stadium -- it made me realize how connected weve all been over the years, he continued, thinking back on that occasion. And Ive got to say, I look back on that moment as probably the best moment Ive ever had on a tennis court.He famously wrote in his book Open that he always hated tennis with a dark and secret passion because of his overbearing father, and so maybe it shouldnt come as any surprise that Agassi said he rarely picks up a racket these days.Ill give charity lessons, he said, but thats about it.Becker, who is 35, was on court at the U.ddddddddddddS. Open on Tuesday, losing in the first round.Asked what he recalls most from his long-ago match against Agassi, Becker replied: It was a tough match, and I dont remember that much.Then he paused, before adding with a grin: But I remember I won. I hit an ace on the final point.Becker said that day is brought up to him by others quite often, obviously, but I understand it, and he referred to having the honor of playing him in the last match.Agassi, who won the U.S. Open in 1994 and 1999, planned to be at Ashe as a spectator for Tuesdays night session, in connection with his new role as a spokesman for Lavazza coffee.As part of the arrangement, $1 per coffee sold at the brands cafes at the two-week tournament will go to the USTA Foundation to benefit the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.Between matches Tuesday, the stadium scoreboards were supposed to show an ad in which Agassi is seen having an espresso in an Italian piazza, leading to a series of flashback videos of him as a kid and a pro.Its capped by Agassi transforming into his long-haired, day-Glo-outfit persona of yesteryear and declaring, Im back!Initially, when I read it on paper, I was like, `No way Im doing it, Agassi said. But then, when I talked to the director, and they sort of said: `Listen, heres how its being filmed. Its like this flashback. It wont be a close up. ... Just putting on that outfit made me feel real old, let me assure you.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
