Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 9/8

Happy VICTORY MONDAY, ladies and gentlemen!

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .well, everything has pretty much centered around the Minnesota Vikings' 34-6 thrashing of the St. Louis Rams to kick off the 2014 NFL season. We've even got the Stock Market Report, some Compliment Sandwiches, and Cordarrelle Patterson being absolutely freaking ridiculous, among other things.

Oh, and as it turns out, there aren't going to be any tampering charges from that Adrian Peterson/Jerry Jones phone conversation that got ridiculously blown out of proportion.

If you'd like some other reading, there are recaps of the game from Ben Goessling at ESPN, Andrew Krammer of 1500 ESPN, Matt Vensel of the Star-Tribune, and Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press. There's lots of other good stuff out there, too. Way too much to link to, but it's pretty easy to find.

The rules of the Open Thread are the same as they've ever been, ladies and gentlemen. . .no religion, no politics, 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 entertainment. . .well, it's a Monday and the Vikings won yesterday. PLAY THE DAMN SONG!

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