Minnesota Vikings News and Links: December 4th, 2020

Good Morning, It’s Friday!

We’re two days away from another Vikings win towards another playoff berth...or we’re two days away from another loss to a downtrodden team and fire everyone; whatever fits your narrative. I’ve been absent from commenting for the past three or four weeks due to some family problems but I’ll be around more often. I did send a text to Gone Fishin yesterday about the email he sent to the Coral morans (that’s their name as far as I’m concerned) about getting rid of the “read more of this conversation” and “load more comments.” As of this typing I haven’t heard back from him...but then again Fishin is really responsive when I sent a pony express message to North Dakota. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s Friday, last week most of you had the day off, you should take a half day off today and get the smoker ready for the weekend.

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, and Welcome Aboard!
