Thursday Open Thread 2 1/2: March 16, 2017

Howdy again, folks!

Well, the first one filled up, so here’s another. I posted this in the comments of the first thread, but I’ll repeat it up here so everyone sees it.

Okay, so the AP thing

some of us like him & will miss him, others don’t, let’s leave it at that.

As far as speculating where he goes, etc., have at it, but let’s leave the negative crap out of it (both sides). No reason to berate each other or our players. Some love AD & they have reasons for that. He’s also disliked by some, & they have reasons for that. That’s it, no reason to re-hash an argument for the 14 billionth time. Let it die.

We’re all Vikings fans, & we’re all going to cheer our a**es off for Murray (except for that % of the "fans" that seem to want us to lose, I’ll never understand those people).

mmmmmmmkay? thxbye

I appreciate the tone change after this morning. Good job, everyone, give yourselves a high five. You too, Coach Carrol.

Updates since our last open thread:

From Eric, Latavius Murray, a class act from what it seems, had some pretty cool statements regarding his role as he enters his career in Minnesota. Bravo, Mr. Murray, bravo.

Dontari Poe signed a one-year deal with the Falcons. It’s reportedly worth $8 million, and could reach as high as $10 million with incentives.

Brandin Cooks says he has ‘no bad blood’ with the Saints after being traded to the Patriots, per NFL.com. LOL, why would he? He got traded from a crappy team in a horrible city to the Super Bowl champion.

From ESPN, should the Raiders focus on picking up Adrian Peterson?

Here’s a media selection for you.

Hey, since it’s likely we’ve seen the last of AD in purple, let’s take a look at a highlight reel of his career in Minnesota. Sorry ‘bout the “music”.

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 menudo.
