Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 10/7

Week 5 of NFL action is totally in the books, ladies and gentlemen, and now we can start looking towards Week 6 and the Minnesota Vikings' clash with the Detroit Lions at TCF Bank Stadium.

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

-We started our stream for this week's game by taking a look at a couple of injuries for the Lions that could cause them some issues.

-Ted took a look at some of the storylines heading into this week's contest.

-The Star-Tribune thought it would be appropriate to put together a hit piece on Adrian Peterson. Over at Vikings Territory, Arif pretty much took down the whole thing.

No other links for today. . .it's mostly all negative crap and I'm kind of tired of promoting that kind of thing at the moment.

The rules for the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no politics, no religion, no feeding of the trolls, keep the bad language to a minimum (using spoiler tags, if necessary), and keep the GIFs relatively work-safe.

For today's musical entertainment. . .here, have some metal.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Tuesday, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your day!
