Minnesota Vikings News And Links, 8/1

We've made it to August, ladies and gentlemen, and the Minnesota Vikings 2013 Training Camp is in full swing in Mankato. We're going to continue to have great coverage of the happenings down there, but we have plenty of stuff for you to have a gander at in the meantime, too.

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

-One of our posters, "Krauser" (who just happens to be a neurologist) looked deeper into the injury history of former Viking Percy Harvin.

-If you missed Arif's notebook from Day Four of Training Camp, you can find it right here.

-Cris Carter moved on in our Greatest Viking Of All Time Tournament, and we gave you the match-up between Fran Tarkenton and Kevin Williams for your voting pleasure.

-The National Football League has changed the format for the Pro Bowl going forward.

Since I'm running a little short of time here, we'll forgo the look at links from around the league.

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

We keep on moving along with our musical theme of the week. . .and, I'm thinking, our musical theme for next week as well.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for Thursday, ladies and gentlemen! Enjoy your day and our continued coverage of Minnesota Vikings Training Camp!
