Weekend Open Thread: May 26th and 27th, 2018

Good Morning!

I hope your weekend is going great whether you’re working, fishing, or doing absolutely nothing. WE have OTA’s to talk about along with league news, have another cup of coffee and drop by for some fan wisdom and snark.

I’ll be here on and off all weekend and mostly likely I’ll be working at least half a day Monday. Reminder-As far as the NFL’s anthem stance, go talk about it somewhere else, anything posted about it will get deleted, repeated postings will result in your inability to comment.

We come to today’s media selection: Cheap Trick-Gonna Raise Hell

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 and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, try the venison chili and as always, Welcome Aboard and Skol Vikings!
