Friday Open Thread
Good Morning!
I saw mentions of a possible new collective bargaining agreement on the Twitters today. I’d like to see it approved because lockouts and replacement players suck yo, but one thing I’d like to see the players union push for is more money for the current and retired or past players. Today is everyone’s Friday expect me, it Monday yet again and I’m writing this after midnight. If I have time in the morning before work I’ll drop another 1st round mock with a player for consideration, if I don’t have time I’ll save it for the weekend thread. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and leave work early today, you worked hard all week and it’s almost time to put a brisket on the smoker.
Around the DN since our last open thread:
Report: NFL owners, players on the verge of a new labor agreement. It’s still not completely ratified, though notes Ted.
Ted ponders: Should I Stay or Should I Go? Looking at upcoming roster decisions on some key personnel: Linval Joseph in this edition.

Vikings news from other sources:

Topics including the addition of Dom Capers, the team’s salary cap situation, possible contract extensions for Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook, and much more.

We come to today’s media selection: ACDC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
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, and Welcome Aboard!
