Good Morning, It’s Thorsday!
Your Thorsday and Draft Day thread is up and running for business; if you’re like GA Skol and don’t read the words up top you’re going to be disappointed because tomorrow’s thread will likely not post until I wake up. I’m on east coast time, and I’m not staying up all night just to watch Rick trade both of the Vikings 1st round picks for all the 7th rounders. My guess for the 1st round is a selection with the 22nd pick and a trade down into the early 2nd round with the 25th pick. My pick for the 1st round will be revealed in the comments section. GA Skol and I are going to do a trial run of a Zoom meeting today, if it’s successful I’ll be posting an article on how to sign up and login on Friday evening for the 1st Annual Open Thread Zoom Draft Meeting. 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 Thorsday - I was informed this is cultural appropriation, but I’m not smart and still don’t know what that means.

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