Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 21 June 2022

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn. . .and it’s a new Open Thread here at your favorite Minnesota Vikings website! Come on in and hang out with us for a while so you can talk about pretty much anything you want with your fellow fans of the purple.

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

• Former Vikings’ first-round pick Trae Waynes certainly sounds like he’s retired from the NFL, even if he hasn’t made an official announcement.
• The Vikings are bringing back Brian Robison’s popular YouTube series “96 Questions,” with the first new episode apparently set to drop today.

Mash-ups or yacht rock. . .kind of my thing at this point, I think.

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.
