Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Monday, February 15th, 2021

Good Morning!

I got up this morning and didn’t see a thread so I’m throwing one together now; my Coral post is still up and I’ve put most of the information I’ve gleaned from all of you in there, please take a minute or two and review what I’ve listed, if you see something I missed post in there, I’ll see it. It’s been raining here non-stop since last Thursday, but that beats the cold weather the rest of the country is having. 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 weekend eve, time the plan the beer and meat menu for the weekend.
