We powered through Monday, it only gets easier from here.

Merry Tuesday, DN faithful! We're only days away from real football action, as long as no uses the wrong field paint, we should be seeing real live NFL football soon.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Alright, DN faithful, it's now week 5 of the Epic DN Photos of Vikings Fans Jersey Contest.

Ted takes an in-depth look at how the Vikings offensive line is shaking out so far this year.

Chris invites everyone to come join the Daily Norseman. If you haven't shared the story on social media, please do. The more people we have around here the better, in my opinion, and this is the best damn Vikings blog in the world.

The Vikings released their first depth chart, and Chris has all the details.

The Vikings signed Kevin McDermott to a four-year extension.

Around the NFL:

Twins update:

The Twins, behind a rock solid outing by Duffey and a nice night at the plate by Rosario, continue their march to a wild card berth and defeated the Astros 3-1. Kintzler got his 10th save after throwing a perfect 9th. Does anyone miss Jepsen?

We come to today's media selection. Here's a little Lonesome George for ya'.

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
-This isn't a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door

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.
