Minnesota Vikings News And Links, 7/9

We're moving through the week here, ladies and gentlemen, as we get closer to Minnesota Vikings training camp and the start of the 2013 NFL season. It's dragging along now, to be sure, but hopefully it will be here before we know it.

There wasn't a whole lot going on for us to bring you yesterday, save for two more match-ups in our Greatest Viking Of All Time Tournament, as well as the results that saw Ron Yary and Kevin Williams advancing to the second round. There wasn't a whole lot going on across the rest of the internet as far as Vikings-related news, either.

So, as usual, this will serve as your Open Thread for the day, and with that comes the reminder that the rules are the same as they always are. . .no religion, no politics, no feeding the trolls, and keep the bad language to a minimum. Or, at the very least, use the spoiler function if you're going to swear.

We continue with our Muppet theme for our ambient music of the week.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Tuesday, ladies and gentlemen! Enjoy your Tuesday, and if there's any more news that comes our way, we will do our best to have it here for you as soon as possible.
