Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 2/25

Happy hump day, ladies and gentlemen!

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

-Kyle expresses the same sentiment about the Adrian Peterson saga that many of us have to this point. . .let's just get the damn thing over with.

-We took a look back at Mel Kiper and Todd McShay's mock drafts for the Minnesota Vikings over the past five years and how they compared to the players the Vikings actually selected.

From some other sources across the internet. . .

-ESPN has labelled the Minnesota Vikings as a team that's "skeptical" about the use of analytics in the scouting process.

-Phil Mackey at 1500 ESPN wonders about who, exactly, should feel uneasy about the Peterson situation.

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 video.

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you later on!
