Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
The Vikings won ten regular season games last year and won a playoff game, is that the pinnacle of success? Hardly, but some of you act like the Vikings were the suckiest team that ever sucked. If that’s your opinion, then by all means carry on; meanwhile I did see some improvement in the team last year with continued improvement needed. I wrote up here a few days ago (that no one read) that I was all in for a full rebuild over the next season or two as I felt like the roster had gotten old fast....I still believe that and don’t think plugging in a rookie or two and signing a couple of free agents will do the trick. 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 since it’s the offseason, time to complain full time because that’s all some of you contribute to the thread.
Around the DN since our last open thread:

League News:
Consistent with the weekend thread, I’ll post league news in the comments section.
We come to today’s media selection: ACDC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
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, and Welcome Aboard!
