Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 5 July 2022

And the work week officially starts, ladies and gentlemen, with your Tuesday Open Thread at your favorite Minnesota Vikings’ website! In exactly 20 days, we’ll be letting you know that the rookies (and some other players) have reported to the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center for the start of Training Camp, which is pretty awesome. We’re almost there!

The only story we had to bring you yesterday was CBS Sports declaring that the 1998 Vikings were the best team in franchise history. Maybe not an earth-shaking revelation or anything, but hey. . .news is news.

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.
