Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
I’m in Geogia this weekend working on footplots, fixing stands and trying not to get snakebit. I’ll be posting some limited pictures on my Twitter account if you’re interested, but I’m not sure why anyone would be. I don’t have a very good internet connection so I’m working off the connection on my phone to my laptop, and it’s about as bad as hotel wifi. There are more suggestions of the Minnesota Vikings organization commenting on social justice issues linked below, if that causes you to clutch your pearls maybe try not to comment on it....or go ahead and comment, I’m not your supervisor. 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 the weekend, get the smoker started, get all your outdoor chores done early, and have a beer or two, it’s going to be a great weekend!
Around the DN since our last open thread:
Chris ponders: Are we already underselling the Vikings’ cornerbacks? We might be, according to one source.

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, try the buffet and Welcome Aboard!
Topic of the Day: Which position group for the Vikings has you most concerned this year, offensive line, defensive line, the secondary, wide receivers, another group not listed?
