Minnesota Vikings News and Links: September 7th, 2020

Good Morning!

The weekend continues for most of you, I hope you’re able to take advantage with friends and family (safely because ‘rona and 2020). Someone throw an extra burger or bratwurst on the grill in my honor because I’ll be at work. 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 the Monday, still time to fire up the grill and crack open a cold beverage.

-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, don’t be a jerk and Welcome Aboard!
