Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 7/22

In just 48 short hours, Minnesota Vikings football players will begin descending on Mankato for this year's Training Camp. We have almost reached the finish line of the off-season, ladies and gentlemen. . .isn't that awesome?

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

-Our friends at OutSports have reached the same conclusion that a lot of folks have about the Kluwe issue.

-It looks like Adrian Peterson may have married his long-time girlfriend recently.

-Teddy Bridgewater doesn't want to talk about the quarterback competition that's upcoming.

-Speaking of Bridgewater, he (along with some of the other NFL rookies) have seen what they'll be rated in the new Madden game.

-How much trade value does Adrian Peterson have? Apparently not as much as you might think.

From some other sources around the internet. . .

-Single-game tickets for this season go on sale in. . .*checks watch*. . .roughly two hours (9 AM Central time).

-Teddy Bridgewater's jersey is the third-highest seller among this year's rookie class, trailing only Johnny Manziel and Michael Sam.

-Newly-acquired cornerback Captain Munnerlyn is looking forward to making the transition to his new team.

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 language relatively work-safe (with spoiler tags, if necessary), and keep the GIFs relatively work-safe.

Let's continue with Mandatory Fun, shall we?

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