Valentine’s Day Open Thread: Februrary 14, 2017

Merry Valentine’s Day, everyone!

If you haven’t gotten your guy/gal a gift yet, you still have time. I love Amazon, got my shopping done right from my recliner again this year.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Chris wished Randy Moss a happy 40th Birthday.

Wludford looks at how the Vikings can go about fixing the offensive line.

Vikings news from other sources:

At the Strib, Matt Vensel looks at what’s next as the Vikings look to revamp their O-line.

Ben Goessling at ESPN says the Fusco moves signals a complete makeover for our offensive line (I hope he’s right, we need one).

From Vikings.com:

From Lindsey Young, Gene Washington broke barriers beyond those on the football field.

On Randy Moss’ 40th birthday (yesterday), here’s a highlight reel of Randy’s top 10 moments.

Around the rest of the NFL:

The New York Giants released Victor Cruz, per NFL.com.

It appears the 49ers are going to ask Robert Saleh to be their new defensive coordinator, per NFL.com.

We come to today’s media selection.

I could watch & listen to this on a loop for hours. Most of us who were fans back in ‘09 will agree that this is the beginning of what was a magical ride. After this game, you just knew you were always in every game.

Here’s the full drive. I still like PA’s call of that last play.

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

-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-This isn't a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the door
-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 get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-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 chitlins.
