Weekend Eve Open Thread
Good Morning!
We’ve (almost) finally made it to training camp. One week from today Kyle Slotergoat™ Sloter starts his conquest for the backup QB job along with a lot of other guys who have something to prove on the practice field and preseason. We’ve had a lot of fun with the Kyle Sloter, Chad Beebe, Brandon Zylstra thing since last year; I hope they all make the team again but really I want the best 11 players for the Vikings on the field at all times. 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 leave work early, it’s Friday.

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, try the last of the offseason and Welcome Aboard!
