I enjoyed the Vikings game yesterday very much. And it's not every day you can honestly say you enjoyed a Vikings game. In fact, after their depressing loss against Philadelphia a week ago, I was beginning to think the entire season was going to look very, very ugly. And it still might. Especially since approximately 90 percent of everyone we have who doesn't suck is injured.

I'm still scratching my head over the Bears touchdown late in the game that, to me, involved the officials deciding on review that as long as your hand is still on top of the ball, you still have possession of the ball, even if you're not actually holding it anymore. I mean, in retrospect, it doesn't matter, but . . . that looked very weird to me. I was prepared for the call to be changed, because the announcer guy kept saying it looked like a touchdown to him, but to me, it looked like the ball, she was already lost.

At any rate, at least we didn't get crushed like bugs, which is a good thing. I have a feeling that we won't be piling up a lot of wins this year, so I'm happy to take anything I can get.
