Thorsday Open Thread
Good Morning, It’s Thorsday!
Your Thorsday Open Thread is up, running, and ready for business. I’m off service for the next seven days so I’ll be online again more often. It finally quit raining after nine days so the lawn is screaming to get mowed, some league and Vikings news below so let’s get to it. 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 it’s Thorsday - I was informed this is cultural appropriation, but I’m not smart and still don’t know what that means.
Around the DN since our last open thread:
Report: NFL practice squads could be expanding even further. Chris notes this is in response to potential COVID-19 fears.

We come to today’s media selection: Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
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 wash your hands, tip your waiter well and Welcome Aboard!
Question of the Day: Should the NFL expand the practice squad and game day rosters in response to Covid 19?
