Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 7/9

CAMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

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

-CCNorseman took a look at Kyle Rudolph's fantasy football prospects for this coming season.

-Adrian Peterson is near the top of the list of potential MVP candidates for the 2014 season.

From some other sources around the internet. . .

-Speaking of Rudolph, he's dropped about 15 pounds from last season. (I had no idea the guy was playing at 275 last year.)

-Cordarrelle Patterson has declared that he's going to be a top 5 playmaker in the National Football League this year. I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

-Former Vikings' offensive lineman Dan Mozes, who was on-and-off of the practice squad for a couple of seasons, will be part of a new reality show that starts tonight on the Discovery Channel.

We've also got a couple of big interviews coming up over the course of the week. If you follow Di on Twitter, you know what one of them is already, and we're keeping the other one under wraps for a bit until we get everything finalized. . .it might not materialize at all, but we're making every effort to make sure it does.

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 GIFs relatively work-safe.

Since the video I put up yesterday seemed to be fairly well-received, let's give the folks from Cinema Sins a little more love here.

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