Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 12/23

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. . .currently battling what might be the most useless hotel wi-fi in the history of technology, but we're finally getting your Open Thread for the day posted for your discussion enjoyment.

Not a whole lot to talk about in Minnesota Vikings land since the butt whipping they absorbed yesterday at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals. If you'd like to look back at the stream we had for everything relating to the game, you can check it out right here. Included are the recap from yours truly based on listening to the game on the radio, as well as Ted's Stock Market Report. I'd include more links to more recaps like I normally do, but like I said, this internet connection here really sort of blows.

The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no politics, no religion, 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.

It's Christmas week, folks. . .we'll start out with a tune that might actually be more appropriate for what will be happening at Winter Park a week from today.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Monday, folks. Enjoy the rest of your day, whether you're working or getting your last-minute shopping completed. We will have more for you throughout the day.
