Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 7/15

Sorry for the delay, folks.  We're almost into the single digits until training camp starts...and I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.  Since we last broiught you an open thread:

Adrian Peterson and Chase Ford teamed up for a truly remarkable play.

Speaking of Adrian Peterson, good thing he chose football over softball or baseball.

Target Field hosted the Home Run Derby last night, and Yoenis Cespedes won it for the second consecutive year. Also, about the rain delay: no, no one is longing for the Metrodome because of a one hour rain delay. If you are, you're a terrible person.

Matt Blair was one of my favorite Vikings ever. he's dealing with health issues in his post football life.  Good luck, Matt.

Hey, remember the Bigge-ass crane at the new Vikings stadium? It's owned by Danny's Construction, who is owned by a woman. Pretty cool.

I don't ever remember playing a Johhny Cash song.  That changes, right now:

The rules of our daily thread remain the same: no politics, no religion, watch the swear words/use the filter thingy.
