There's an NFL game tonight, ladies and gentlemen. . .unfortunately, it does not involve the Minnesota Vikings, as we're still dragging through the bye week. But, hey, it's better than nothing, am I right?
Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .
-Author Tom Clancy passed away on Tuesday, as we look at how he was nearly the owner of our favorite football team.
-Arif and company have put together another edition of Norse Code for your listening pleasure.
From some other sources around the internet. . .
-Andrew Kammerer from 1500 ESPN has a breakdown of the last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
-There's going to be some news about fees and the new Vikings' stadium coming down the pike soon.
The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no religion, no politics, no feeding of the trolls, and keep the bad language to a minimum/use the spoiler tags if you feel that you absolutely must curse.
MOAR KISS, you say? Certainly!
GET UP! GET DOWN!
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Thursday, ladies and gentlemen! Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you later on, including Eric's picks for this weekend's action.
