Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 1 November 2022

WAKE UP WAKE UP IT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTH!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve made it to November, and we’re celebrating with a new Open Thread here at your favorite Minnesota Vikings website. Well, we were gonna have one anyway because that’s what we do, but it’s almost an occasion, I suppose.

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .

• If you missed Jared Allen’s Ring of Honor induction ceremony, you can watch it right here.
• Shawn brought us not one, but two breakdowns of some of the win over Arizona: the turnovers generated by the team and Patrick Peterson’s big game.
• Lewis Cine’s recovery from his awful injury seems to be progressing nicely.
• Kirktober will not be followed by Irvember, as Irv Smith Jr. looks to be heading to the shelf again.
• Could the Vikings be buyers at today’s NFL Trade Deadline? Warren thinks they could be.

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.
