Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 23 September 2022

We’ve gotten to Friday, folks! We’re just a couple of days away from our Minnesota Vikings taking the field against their division rivals from Detroit and hopefully getting back on the right track for this 2022 season.

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

• We did our weekly question exchange with our friends from Pride of Detroit. Here are their questions for us, as well as the questions we asked them.
• Vikings Happy Hour asks whether or not the purple can tame the Lions on Sunday.
• GA Skol is asking you to vote for the Nincompoop of the Week from Week 2.
• Mark has his weekly list of college stars that you should be keeping an eye on this Saturday.
• No changes to the injury report for the Vikings on Thursday, which is bad news for Harrison Smith.

Silence. . .music’s original alternative.

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.
