Good Morning!
I couldn’t think of any words to write up here last night. With the way the season is going it’s easy to get frustrated with the team, and I get it. I’m hoping for a Vikings win Sunday, but we’ll see which Vikings team shows up. 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 go ahead and leave work early, you deserve it.

-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
