Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 11 January 2023

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is once again Hump Day at your favorite Minnesota Vikings website! We are trudging our way through the week towards the first round of this year’s NFL Playoffs, where the Vikings will host the New York Football Giants. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ll get there before you know it.

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

• Chris kicked things off yesterday with the Stock Market Report for the Bears game.
• The Real Forno Show says that this year’s Vikings are now on a mission.
• Shawn takes a moment to look at the contributions of K.J. Osborn.
• Arif and James are back with a new episode of Norse Code.
• Warren has our first preview of this weekend’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
• Check out our first SB Nation Reacts survey about the Vikings for this postseason.

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.
