Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 11/12

We're moving right along with the work week, ladies and gentlemen. . .there's a game tomorrow night, and we're that much closer to Sunday's tilt between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

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

-The grievance hearing for Adrian Peterson is scheduled for 17 November.

-The Vikings are moving up, ever so slightly, in the Power Rankings across the internet.

From some other sources around the internet. . .

-Some members of the Vikings made a trip to the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis yesterday for Veterans Day.

-Running back Matt Asiata has overcome quite a bit of adversity to achieve what he has with the Vikings.

-ESPN's Ben Goessling lays out the timeline for Adrian Peterson's hearing and (potentially) the rest of the season.

The rules of 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 pictures work-safe and appropriately-sized.

Your musical entertainment for today.

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