Tuesday Open Thread: June 14, 2016

Merry Tuesday, everyone! We have another exciting day of no NFL news for you to enjoy.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Mike Zimmer had some nice things to say about......Cordarrelle Patterson?

Vikings news from other sources:

From Vikings.com, Craig Peters looks at 7 topics as Vikings minicamp approaches.

Vikings.com has a time lapse video of the turf install at U.S. Bank Stadium.

From Vikings Update, the Minnesota Vikings system is totally different for Andre Smith.

Around the NFL:

NFL.com looks at the NFL's most overrated and underrated story lines.

Twins update:

Whoa! Two in a row! Behind a decent outing by Nolasco and contributions throughout the lineup, with 3 home runs including a 3-run blast by Plouffe, the Twins beat the California Los Angeles Angels who play in Anaheim California Los Angeles, 9-4. I think I smell a wild card berth.

With that, we come to today's media selection. Here's a cool short video of the 2009 Vikings week 10 game against the Lions in the Metrodome. Enjoy!

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 liver & onions.
