I really was expecting the Vikes to screw the pooch today and get shelled by the Lions. The Lions did their part. The Vikings simply did not blow it like they always have in the past.
Cousins grew up about, well, in West Michigan, is an MSU Spartan alum, and the Redskins were stupid to let him go -- although I doubt he really wanted to stay there. This mitigates my disappointment, plus, whatever it is in the brain that processes disappointment with sports teams has been burned out of me by a lifetime of Lions mediocrity.
