Minnesota Vikings News and Links: November 13th, 2020

Good Morning, It’s Friday!

Not only that but it’s Friday the 13th in 2020, based on all that’s occurred so far this year nothing odd will happen, right? I’m back on service so I won’t have much time to comment but I will get the threads posted daily. Since the Vikings don’t play until Monday, I’m debating whether to do a weekend thread or split it into a Saturday and Sunday thread, check out poll below! Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s Friday; time to leave work a half day early and relax.

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 wash your hands, wear a mask and Welcome Aboard!
