Around the DN since our last open thread:
Chris has another Vikings record to look back on. I remember this one. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win.
Chris shared a score from that soccer tournament they’re having. Is it over now?
Vikings news from other sources and news from around the rest of the league:
Over at Vikings.com, see Stefon Diggs’ appearance on Good Morning Football, and see Dan Orlovsky from the NFL Network break down game film on Kirk Cousins. Also, they share the MMQB piece that lists Adam Thielen as one of the NFL’s top 10 wide receivers, they have Thielen at number eight.

It is unknown whether Jenkins was home at the time, one report indicates that he’s been in Florida since the end of minicamp earlier this month.
Jim Kelly was at his annual football camp, despite having had cancer-related surgery just days prior.
We come to today’s media selection:
To celebrate kiddo catching his first fish (well, his first three), let’s play one from the great Robert Earl Keen. This is called Five Pound Bass, enjoy!

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 head cheese
