08:02 AM ET 12.09 | Jared Allen made this weekend's Vikings-Lions game a little bit more interesting. The [Lions hope] to get back on the winning track when they welcome the 2-10 Minnesota Vikings to town this Sunday. Previewing the game for KFAN-FM, Vikings star defensive end Jared Allen expressed his dislike for the city of Detroit. "I don't like going to Detroit," Allen said. "I'll be honest, it's gloomy, it sucks. Everything is brown and then there is snow on the ground. There's like Brownstones everywhere and I'm like, 'Awesome.' I don't know, I couldn't do it. If I had to live in Detroit, I think I'd just drown myself in the river that was across the way. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's just depressing when I go there," he continued.

So sorry the economy isn't to your liking Jared. Maybe if you stopped buying Chinese made goods and started buying more American made ones it would turn around.

It all goes back to Mayor Coleman Young, who destroyed the city by alienating everyone but his own political base. There's a lot of truth in what Allen is saying.

I highly doubt it.
Detroit literally has no color, and is dull... Everything IS brown.

Maybe this is the root of Suh's anger management problems? A geography issue and not a football issue? He should see the commish again and tell him this.
