Trying to see the upside.

As long as Tarvaris Jackson’s groin injury isn’t going to be a long-term thing, yesterday’s 20-17 loss at Detroit will help the Vikings as much as it hurt them.

The pass defense was bad, the offense couldn’t move the ball, and Jackson turned it over way too often. But, it was an entertaining game and The Purple still had a chance to win with a field goal at the end of regulation. At least Ryan Longwell’s attempt had the distance from 52-yards. I believe he makes that kick 8 out of 10 times.

We know this isn’t going to be a playoff team, so we’ll take an entertaining game when we can get it. Either way, it’s still about a million times better than cheering for the Gophers.

I finally had a minute here because Mike and Mike are talking to a bass fisherman. Anyway, I watched that game -- Detroit market -- and I have to say something weird: I think the Lions might actually be decent. They LOVE Kitna. I mean LOOOOVE.

Terrible team. teriible fans. terrible uniforms.

The lions?!? They're a joke. The NFC's a joke. They should just cancel the NFC season now and give the superbowl to the Pats.

Tavaris sucks. Football sucks.

BTW. can you tell the eagles lost?
