Oct. 3 -Tampa Bay - Minnesota Vikings — Minneapolis Mn, Sunday 10/3/99 Vikings vs Tampa----Vikings John Randle scopes up a Trent Dilfer fumble that he caused early in the 4h quarter as his teamate Tony Williams looks on.

Merry Tuesday, everyone!

Alright, so we’ve set off along the long, two-week journey between the pre-season and the regular season. We can expect roster moves, as the Vikings pare down to their final 53, but you never know, there could still be a trade or a free-agent signing thrown in the mix. Other teams are trimming their rosters as well, so a team that is deep at tight end or tackle may release a talented player who may be of interest.

I’m interested to gauge the level of optimism among the highly educated and extremely good-looking DN open thread audience.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

Things are looking positive for Anthony Barr and Tyler Conklin, Chris has the details.

So that you can keep up with the latest, Chris has a Minnesota Vikings Final Roster Cut Tracker.

Other Vikings/NFL news and random oddities and annoyances:

PFF has a tracker where you can keep up with the latest roster cuts from around the league.

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 tip the cows, and remember that our special on sloth soup begins at 200 comments. Oh, and most importantly, Welcome Aboard!!!!!
