Friday Open Thread: May 6, 2016

Happy Friday, everyone! J-dog must have tore into a 6 pack of ginger ale last night, sorry this is late. I'll just get this posted quick, then add more stories, so refresh in a half hour or so, and it'll be full.

'Round the DN since our last open thread:

The Vikings tried to sign Bohringer pre-draft.

Adrian Peterson is helping out Texas flood victims.

Vikings news from other sources:

From Vikings.com:

The rookies have invaded! Vikings rookies arrived for minicamp.

Here are 5 things to know about Moritz Boehringer, also 5 things to know about Kentrell Brothers.

ESPN's sport science evaluates Laquon Treadwell.

From FSN, the draft slide is a big motivator for safety Jayron Kearse.

Over at the Strib, Sid Hartman says Alex Boone has made a strong impression with the Vikings.

AD is itching to play in preseason games once again, per NFL.com.

Around the NFL:

The Seahawks put Marshawn Lynch on the reserve/retired list. People are actually saying he should be considered for the Hall-of-fame.....because of his spirit and his "signature moments". WTH?

With that, we come to today's media selection. Hey! It's FRIDAY!!!!

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags 
-No pictures that could potentially get someone fired or in serious trouble at their place of employment
-If you can't disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it's sarcasm

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don't forget to tip your waitress, & try the pickled northern.
