Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
It’s the weekend and even better my weekend off. Our plan is cram as much Netflix into Saturday and Sunday as possible, which knowing me is about two hours because I don’t sit still very well. We’ll be cooking what looks to be the last of the deer we have in the freezer on Saturday, not sure what we’re doing Sunday but it will probably involve the smoker......I’m thinking brisket again. The weekend open thread lead picture is of course HoF DT John Randle, one of my favorite Vikings ever. 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 stop in at Remedy Brewing Co and have a beer, it’s the weekend!

We come to today’s media selection: John Randle trash talk
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 sunshine and Welcome Aboard.
