What’s not to like?

Winning at home against the Michael Vick-less Falcons, especially when they are lead by Joey Harrington, isn’t really that tough to do. But for this Minnesota Vikings team, any win is a good win.

The defense was outstanding and Adrian Peterson gives us a reason to be optimistic. Sure Tavaris Jackson didn’t do much, but he didn’t really hurt the offense either, so at this point -- it is all systems go. Taking on the Lions next week should be a good test, particularly for the secondary, since they get to see Calvin Johnson for the first of what will no doubt be many 100 yard 8 catch days.

All in all not a bad weekend – the Gopher football team squeaked by Miami of Ohio and the Twins called Matthew LeCroy up to the big club for one last month of major league salary before he hangs up the cleats for good. He only hit .194 down in AAA Rochester this year, but you can’t overlook his defensive talent at the catcher position. With all of the Twins catchers banged up, LeCroy was the only option left. Yikes.
