Thorsday Open Thread
Good Morning!
It’s Thorsday and no training camp today as it’s a travel day to New Orleans for the first preseason game against the Saints tomorrow. I’m back on service for the next seven days, I’ll try to keep links fresh and updated, but no promises. 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 a martini lunch, it’s Thorsday.
Around the DN since our last open thread:
The Front Page writers have the Minnesota Vikings Training Camp stories in one convenient place.
FMF 204 | Kubiak Clones Flipmazzi looks at past Gary Kubiak offenses and finds the players who best compare to our 2019 Vikings.
Vikings news from other sources:

Offensive Coordinator Kevin Stefanski addressed the media from the TCO Performance Center on Tuesday with goals for Friday’s preseason opener In New Orleans.

League news:
It’s that time for one of my favorite series every year Deadspin’s “Why Your Team Sucks” by Drew Magary. The most recent team to get roasted is the Miami Dolphins, but let’s not pass over the Green Bay Packers. I’ll update the teams as they are posted.
From NFL.com Preseason headlines from the future: Trent Williams trade!
Raiders’ Antonio Brown dealing with frostbitten feet.
Cowboys, Bengals donate to El Paso, Dayton funds.
Packers TE Jimmy Graham: ‘Everybody thinks I’m old’
We come to today’s media selection: Prince - Let’s Go Crazy
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 salty nut roll and Welcome Aboard!
