Man, the Detroit Lions mus REALLY REALLY SUCK.

I think the Vikes have had the ball six times and have gotten six TD's. Just when I was starting to think that Minnesota does not have real sports teams. Does anybody know if the Lions are any good?

Greg, after the way the Vikings did the Giants last week, I am actually starting to get excited about them again. I have hope for next year all ready.

They key for the Vikings over the last two games has been the rushing game. They could put Tony Richardson at quarterback and it wouldn't make much difference, the Vikings would still move the ball. As far as the Lions, they are sliding. They started out hot, but the offensive line has weakened and revealed their flaws. They will always be, quite simply, the Lions.

And stupid. Did you see how they fell for that fake punt thingie?
