Minnesota Vikings News and Links: November 29th, 2019

Good Morning!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday, I had some leftover brisket when I got home and was able to watch part of the Bears Lions game before work got busy. I have to say I was disappointed in the results, looking at you Falcons. Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s Black Friday, go pick up those stretchy pants that are on sale at Brooks Brothers.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-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 waiter, eat the leftovers and Welcome Aboard!
