Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 2/20

It's Friday, ladies and gentlemen, and the Open Thread is slightly delayed, but never defeated.

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

-We started the day with the story of the Minnesota Vikings claiming tight end Brandon Bostick off of waivers.

-Here's the entire transcript of the Rick Spielman Press Conference from the NFL Scouting Combine. We have one for Mike Zimmer's Press Conference, too.

-The latest episode of Norse Code is up for your listening pleasure, now with 100% more analytics.

-We had lots of weigh-in results from the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. Yesterday, there were the offensive linemen, tight ends, wide receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs.

That's a lot of linkage, and we're running late anyway, so we'll stick with that for now.

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 the spoiler tags, if necessary), and keep the pictures work-safe and appropriately-sized.

Here is today's musical entertainment for your enjoyment.

And remember folks, as always. . .if it isn't Diamond Dave, it really isn't Van Halen.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. . .even if it's a bit later than usual. . .for this Friday. Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you later on.
