Minnesota Vikings News And Links, 5/2

We are one week removed from the 2013 NFL Draft. . .yes, already. After the way time dragged leading up to it, I'm surprised how the time is flying by now. But, we've got your Open Thread for today for you to talk about whatever you'd like with your fellow Minnesota Vikings fans, as long as it isn't religion or politics. Also keep in mind that, because the busy time for this is during the day, give some thought to what kind of content you put into the thread here.

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .

Your ambient music for today, folks.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for Thursday, ladies and gentlemen. Have a good Thursday, and we'll have more good stuff for you throughout the course of the day today.
