Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 16 August 2022

The week rolls along here at your favorite Minnesota Vikings website, as it’s now Tuesday and we have a brand new Open Thread for you to make use of. It was a pretty quiet day yesterday, but today the Vikings need to reduce their roster from 90 to 85 by 3:00 PM Central time, so there will be a little bit of news today.

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

• We talked a little bit about tailgating this year at U.S. Bank Stadium.
• Our friends from Climbing the Pocket posted both their pre-game and post-game shows from Sunday’s tilt with the Raiders in Las Vegas.

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.
