Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!I’m putting a pork butt on the smoker this morning, I was tempted to get a brisket but decided against it. I usually run the smoker at about 190 degrees, based on suggestions by some of you I’m going to run the temp up to 225 or 230 and see how the smoke goes. I’ll be using the usual spices, a combination of ground mustard and Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning. While I’m starting this, mrs_rob is going to ride 64 miles on her road bike...
I had no idea that the gun show had returned to the Twin Cities.
What’s been happening in Eagan?
I’m on the outside. . .I’m lookin’ in. . .
Yes, we’re still not allowed at Training Camp. This is going to be a running theme, or a running gag, depending on your perspective. But there are plenty of things to talk about from the past couple of days at Minnesota Vikings Training Camp, so let’s take a look at a few of them here, shall we?

Congratulations to RB1!
During his four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, running back Dalvin Cook has accomplished a lot on the football field. Today, however, he accomplished something even bigger off of it.
Vikings’ RB Dalvin Cook graduated today from Florida State. He didn’t walk to the podium to receive his Bachelors of Science in interdisciplinary studies/public policy due to training camp practice; instead Cook put on the gown at his Minnesota...

Because........well,, you know
Merry continued Friday, everyone!Well, for many of us, the site is bogging down again as it approaches 300 comments, so here’s another repository for your repartee.
Updates since our last open thread, which slowed to a crawl:If this is true, I will be elated. According to this, and I don’t know how much merit it actually has, Adrian Peterson and the Vikings are talking...

Weekend Eve Open Thread
Good Morning!Big thanks to Gone Fishin for posting the thread for me yesterday, I drove up to Georgia to put a couple of stands up, clear some land and cut some trees. Big shoutout to Kubota, Polaris and whoever made that chainsaw I was using. We worked about five hours but got everything done we could for now. I’ll probably make another trip up again next month before the season starts and when it’s...

Because the s****y format is s*****y
Good afternoon!The s****y format is s*****y, so here’s another thread for you.
Since our last open thread, which bogged down at 250 comments because the new format is horrendous and should be banished to hades:Cliffy Rob opened the Daily Norseman mailbag.
Chris has notes from day 1 of Vikings training camp.
Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:-No discussion of politics or...
Thanks to the quick work of Breaking T, Eric Kendricks’ hilarious quote from Training Camp is now on a new shirt!
Most Training Camp press conferences are pretty milquetoast. The coach or player steps up to the podium, the local media asks a bunch of questions about the upcoming season, and the interview subject normally gives generic answers about how they’re “ready to work” and “excited to show what they can do.”
But every once in a while, some poetic prose pops out...
Start of training camp mailbag
You have questions, I have answers....a wrong answer is still an answer. Good Morning!The big news since our last mailbag is training camp is finally upon us, real football is on the horizon, unfortunately due to Covid none of us are getting press access, so we’ll have to rely on what other people are observing.
The Vikings finally signed a vet WR3 in Dede Westbrook, is there anyone else that Vikings could sign that would provide a boost to this...

August is almost here
Happy Thirsty Thorsday, everyone!Wow, July is nearly gone. The days are flying by, and with each passing day, we get one day closer to NFL football. I’m always torn at this time of year; not wanting to let go of summer, but excited for football season to finally get here.
I’m going to channel my inner Cliff Clavin here. It’s a little known fact that since 2014, the Vikings have followed a consistent pattern of a down year, which...

What was happening today in Eagan?
The first official day of Training Camp is in the books for the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, the team has decided that they’re not giving credentials to bloggers or fan sites again this year, so we’re on the outside looking in. Eric is going to be on hand for a limited number of practices from the seats, and he’s going to be bringing you...
On the same day reports surfaced that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time since last fall, there's
The Vikings invested heavily on its defense after an ugly showing in 2020. Here's how all the new and old faces fit on the roster.

Hump daaaaaaayyyyyyyy!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!I hope all of you are having a great work week. We’re halfway through it, just a couple more days until the weekend. We went to the Larks game last night, and although it was a rough game for the home team, we had a great time. They had a thing where you can go create your own sign. We didn’t get ours done in time to enter the contest, otherwise, @I’m pretty sure we would have...
The Minnesota Vikings announced Tuesday that Phil Rauscher will replace Rick Dennison as the team's offensive line coach this season.
Coaches can gain an exemption based on legitimate health or religious reasons, and it's unclear if Dennison agreed to get vaccinated or won't be permitted to have direct interactions with players.
The agreement is essentially an acknowledgement that Dennison will comply with the league’s health protocols even if he doesn’t get the vaccine, and will likely limit his interaction with players and fellow coaches.
