Minnesota Vikings News And Links, 7/15

We're back for more, ladies and gentlemen! It's Monday, the 15th of July, and in just 11 days we will finally be getting to the beginning of Minnesota Vikings Training Camp for the 2013 season! We've almost made it to the finish line, and soon there's going to be football once again.

Honestly didn't have a whole lot happening over the weekend, between not feeling well and taking in a movie over the weekend. (By the way, go see Pacific Rim. It ain't Shawshank, but it was still a lot of fun, I thought.) We went over the first round of our Greatest Viking Of All Time Tournament, and looked ahead to the second round. We even gave you a refresher/primer on how to vote in our tournament.

And, to be honest, there isn't a heck of a lot going on otherwise concerning our favorite football team. Like I said, right now it's just a matter of surviving until training camp, and we're almost there.

The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've always been, folks. . .no religion, no politics, no feeding the trolls, and keep the bad language to a minimum and/or use the spoiler tags if you're going to curse.

Our music for this week. . .by request from last week. . .

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for Monday, everybody! Have a good time hanging out with your fellow Vikings' fans, and if anything news-wise should come across the proverbial wire, we will have it here for you.
