Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 2/18

It's hump day, ladies and gentlemen! It's all downhill from here, pretty much.

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread, we haven't had a whole lot of activity. . .it was really just me pimping my appearance on the Purple FTW Podcast. We apologize for that, and will hopefully have some more stories for your reading pleasure today.

From some other sources around the internet. . .

-Chad Greenway finally has a healthy knee after suffering an injury last season.

-The pre-draft concerns that teams had about Teddy Bridgewater seem pretty silly now, don't they?

-The Detroit Lions have hired Joe Marciano as their special teams coach. Marciano stood in for Mike Priefer during his suspension last 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.

And here is today's entertainment.

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