Thorsday Open Thread
Good Morning!
My consecutive days of Saturday start today as I’m finally off service just in time to play the hurricane game. The shelves are empty of cases of water in the stores already; seriously you’d think we didn’t do this exact same thing every.stinking.year. Sidenote: people are panicked lemmings. I haven’t seen if the game will be nationally broadcast tonight, if not I’ll catch it on DVR later this week. The Kyle Slotergoat™ watch continues with national pundits saying he’ll be cut by the Vikings. Meanwhile, we’ll 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 and have breakfast, it’s Thorsday.
Around the DN since our last open thread:
Key positional battles remaining via Ted.

From NFL.com Jadeveon Clowney could miss regular-season games.
Stephen Hauschka inks 2-year extension with Bills.
Jerry Jones has nothing to report on Ezekiel Elliott holdout.
We come to today’s media selection: Bryan Adams - Summer of ‘69.
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.
Tip your waiter, not the cows and Welcome Aboard!
