Dino Baskovic Can’t Lose

Five minutes before Lions snap skid, not that it's on TV in Detroit

UPDATE: Lions aren't so cowardly, after all.  Detroit 19, Washington 14.

This sucks for Detroit fans:

Free Press sports writer Shawn Windsor is live-blogging today's blacked-out game between the Detroit Lions and the Redskins. Per NFL rules, he may not be in the stadium while live-blogging, so he drove to a Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Rapids to watch it on TV.

Good call on B-Dubs. I should drive down and meet him.  Mmm.  Honey mustard...

Even though I root for the Browns, I and other football fans kinda wonder when the Lions will end their 20-game losing streak.  They are less than three two minutes away from doing so against the Redskins (who just scored a late TD and are within 5 and a horrific upset, onside kick notwithstanding).

Back to glorious HD.  I can't believe I'm about to say this: Go Lions!?

UPDATE 2: Additional coverage: Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, ESPN (via AP), NBC, CBS and my favorite tidbit from Deadspin:

It's over! For the first time since 2007, the Detroit Lions are winners. Matthew Stafford looked like an NFL quarterback, and Clinton Portis couldn't get going, so Detroit dominated possession. Washington simultaneously becomes a trivia answer and a punchline.
