Minnesota Vikings News and Links: November 6th, 2020

Good Morning, It’s Friday!

I finally got WiFi on my laptop via my phone this morning after spending about an hour last night trying to connect. It’s weekend eve and time to start planning your weekend, I’ll be spending mine here in the woods looking at turkeys, rabbits and squirrels but with my luck no deer. 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!
