Hey kids.

Did you know that training camp starts next Monday? WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

To get you ready for the season, may I present to you the Vikings storming the field from their last home playoff game, in 2009 against Dallas. The video quality is just okay, but man, if that doesn't get your blood flowing, your heart isn't beating. Seriously, get to a doctor, because you've had a heart attack:

Now, the open thread topic for tonight: Cats vs. Dogs

Seriously, cats vs. dogs. Are you a dog person, or a cat person? I am a dog person, having owned one for most of my adult life. But my daughter has brought home two stray cats over three years, and I gotta say, they've kind of grown on me. I don't viscerally hate them like I used to, but I still consider myself a dog guy.

But I no longer hate cats. I've become such a pushover since I hit my 40's.

And I will say they have a long way to go to catch up to the cats on the Internet. So post a picture of your dog or cat, or your favorite dog or cat meme.

So have at at kids, and we'll see you in the morning.
