Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 1/8

Our apologies for the lack of content that we brought you yesterday. . .another instance of real life getting in the way for everyone at the same time.

There were a couple of things happening in the Minnesota Vikings' universe, though.

-Chris Kluwe has his meetings scheduled with investigators.

-Former Viking Chris Doleman tells ESPN that the next head coach needs to be able to better relate to today's athletes.

-The cold temperatures have brought the early stages of the Vikings' stadium construction to a halt.

-Former Vikings' head coach Mike Tice is now the new offensive line coach of the Atlanta Falcons. That's the job that the Vikings refused to allow Jeff Davidson to interview for.

The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, folks. . .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.

Your musical selection of the day, keeping with this week's theme.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you as the day goes on.
