Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
Only one more day until we get the first border battle of the year with a Vikings v Packers clash. I’m going to make another change to the weekend thread during the season, I’ll be highlighting the team the Vikings play on Sunday, and will go back to the NFC North once the Vikings season is over in February. Also, I’ll be traveling most of Saturday but will be able to check on the thread via phone, if someone spills the chardonnay on the piano just flag their comments and move on, or if something needs my immediate attention drop me an email....no, you can’t start DN After Dark at 8am. Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and go ahead grab an adult beverage and start the tailgating early.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waiter, don’t cut the cheese and Welcome Aboard!
