Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!I hope you’re having a great weekend while I spend mine at work. I know most of you don’t need to hear this, but I’m going to say it one last time for all the people in the back: I’m tired of the politics in the daily threads. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have to hide or delete comments because of politics, that stops immediately. I’m going to continue moderating the...

Or any other training camp, but we don’t care about those
With everything that’s been happening with the COVID-19 epidemic in recent months, the Minnesota Vikings have made an announcement that doesn’t really come as a surprise.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 @verizon Vikings Training Camp will be held without fans.
Recently announced joint NFL/NFLPA training camp protocols prohibit fans from attending practices at all club...
Yee-haw! It’s Friday!
Merry Friday, everyone!We’ve made it to the one day of the workweek that is better than Monday. Anyone have any plans for the weekend? This will probably come as a shock to you, but I plan to fish.
Around the DN since our last open thread:Chris asks you to name your all-time favorite player from each NFC North rival. That’s easy for me, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, and Brett Favre (he’s the only guy from that team that I like).

Because duh.
In a recent poll done by The Athletic of their NFL writers, the best stadium in the NFL was named the best stadium in the NFL, which is not surprising given that it’s the best stadium in the NFL.
U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of your Minnesota Vikings, garnered the top spot in the poll, narrowly edging out a group of stadiums that are not the best in the NFL.
Seriously, the top five looked like this:
U.S. Bank Stadium CenturyLink Field...Since the draft, there really hasn’t been much going on in terms of Vikings player news, development, or any news of position battles, scheme changes or adjustments, or really anything of substance to gain insight into how things may play out as the Vikings prepare for the upcoming season.
Of course the reason for the lack of news is all the coronavirus precautions, which have kept players and coaches at home, and prevented the normal schedule of off-season training events, including OTAs...

Go as far back as you want
As part of our Rivalry Week(s) series here on the SB Nation family of NFL blogs, we’ve already asked which current player you’d take from the Minnesota Vikings’ three NFC North rivals and add to the current team. Now, we want to step a little further back in time.
We want to know who your all-time favorite player is/was from each of the Vikings’ three current NFC North rivals. Go as far back...

Thorsday Open Thread
Good Morning, It’s Thorsday!Your Thorsday Open Thread is up, running, and ready for business. I’ll be back on service for the next seven days of fun filled work, but that won’t stop me for getting the daily thread posted. The NFL is continuing to insist on opening training camps on the 28th with two preseason games, the NFLPA has other ideas. Just for you haters out there, Stefon Diggs is today’s lead...

Your Thorsday open thread is up and waiting for you!
Merry Thorsday, everyone!It’s great to be back! Did I miss anything? I didn’t think so. The much-needed break was wonderful, I always enjoy our time over in Montana, and this time was no different. Several days with no phone service, lots of fishing, beautiful mountain views, fishing, and....ummm.....fishing. Did I mention fishing?
The ride home was......adventurous. We drove through...

Good Morning, It’s Hump Day!It’s midweek for most of you or as we call it at my house “the day before I have to go back to the bad place.” We’re going with more of the iconic composer Ennio Morricone today after I did some research on his career. I was surprised how many of his songs I recognized from movies. We’re inching closer to the start of training camp follow by no preseason games and the the onset of the regular season.......maybe. Meanwhile...

And, at the time, the money was considered astronomical
For the majority of the Minnesota Vikings’ existence, the team has been looking for a long-term solution at the quarterback position. In fact, since the advent of the 16-game schedule back in 1978, the Vikings have never had a quarterback start all 16 games in back-to-back seasons.
The Vikings have taken a few swings at the idea of a “franchise quarterback” over the past few years, but...
In 2016, Vikings GM Rick Spielman praised Harrison Smith as “better safeties” in the NFL. Actually, Smith proved himself to be one of the best in the league at his position but, as Spielman joked, assigning him that label would have driven up the price.
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly 22 days away from starting their 2020 training camp in Eagan, Minnesota. This is per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That means
Which Minnesota Vikings players have something to prove in 2020? The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of question marks on their roster this year. They have some players who will be thrust into starting roles for the first time in their careers.
Tuesday Open Thread
Good Morning, It’s Tuesday!With the passing of Ennio Morricone I had to go with the musical selection of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s Tuesday, the second greatest day of the week!
Around the DN since our last open thread:Chris ponders: Is there a Vikings player that deserves a ten-year contract...
Back in 2003, the Minnesota Vikings signed Daunte Culpepper to his own massive extension. In 2003, Daunte Culpepper was coming off of his fourth season as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

But there’s some hope!
It seems that the offensive line has been a point of contention for the Minnesota Vikings for about a decade now. It seems that way because. . .well, it really has been. Even when the Vikings have had good seasons in recent years, the offensive line has had its struggles and has generally been a big part of the team coming undone in the postseason.
Despite a bit more attention being paid to the offensive line over the past few...
The former Minnesota Vikings passer has seen his recent play trend in the wrong direction. Thanks to being the guy who threw the pass during the “Minneapolis Miracle”, Case Keenum will always be remembered in a positive light for the time he spent with the Minnesota Vikings in 2017.
