Weekend and Father’s Day Open Thread
Good Morning!
Today’s media selection and lead photo is of my favorite Vikings players, Percy Harvin. I forget how electric he was until I see one of these highlight tapes. Hope you’re having a great weekend, unless you’re at work like I am. Tomorrow is Father’s Day, give your dad a call (if you’re able) and fire up that grill for some delicious slow cooked meat. We’re planning on either a smoked brisket or burgers, either way mine will be cold by the time I get home. Meanwhile we’ll catch up on our NFC North opponents and then carry on with our news and links thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and have another beer, it’s the weekend!

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-This isn’t a male version of The View, so 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, try the ice water and Welcome Aboard.
