Other Vikings/NFL news, and random oddities and annoyances:

As of this writing, the Ravens are leading the Cowboys by 14, link courtesy of NFL.com.

The Sporting News looks at why the NFL let the Ravens game continue after Dez Bryant’s positive Covid-19 test. The reaction from fans, announcers, and players seems to indicate that they think the NFL is being inconsistent and/or that the NFL’s approach to the pandemic is a charade. I can’t believe that it’s taken them until now to come to that realization.

We come to today’s media selection:

We talked about this yesterday, this is probably one of my favorite non-Vikings playoff games ever. It features my man Eli Manning. Enjoy!

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Take the gender hatred elsewhere, it won’t be tolerated
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-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 waitress (from a minimum of six feet away, of course), and try the tiger meat.
