Happy Thirsty Thorsday, everyone!

Well, June is finally here, hopefully the weather got the memo and it begins to cooperate a little. I’m looking forward to summer and getting some quality fishing and camping time, I love this time of year.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Chris posted his first installment of Minnesota Vikings By The Numbers, and he looked at number 99.

Arif posted Norse Code Podcast Episode 183: Rudy & Floyd.

Could Sam Bradford be even better this season? Wludford digs in to find out.

Luft Krigare takes a close look at TJ Clemmings to see if he can still be a reclamation project.

Vikings news from other sources:

From NFL.com, Dalvin Cook signed his rookie contract. All the Vikings’ rookies are now signed.

Teddy Bridgewater showed his stuff at practice yesterday, from 247 Sports. It warms my heart to see Teddy recovering this quickly and looking as good as he does.

From Vikings.com:

Here are highlights from OTA number 5.

Wobby opened the pick 6 mailbag.

Anthony Barr talked about OTAs and some of the story lines in the Vikings’ early season.

The NFL Total Access crew discussed whether the Vikings are on the playoff radar.

Eric Smith has some notes from OTAs.

Around the rest of the league:

We come to today’s media selection.

Hey, let’s play one for Teddy. He’s back!!

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
-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 blood sausage.
