Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Friday March 12th, 2021 Friday Open Thread Good Morning! Shoutout to Gone Fishin yesterday as he agreed to do the thread for me yesterday, I got slammed at work and didn’t get home until almost 1 am. Free agent frenzy has started...kind of with rumors and innuendo flying. In the Twitterverse @many are excited at the thought of FA QB Sean Mannion re-signing with the Vikings.@ My schedule will be changing, (more on that Monday when I post the mailbag article) for now it’s time for weekend eve. I know most of you watched the Oprah special last weekend, so today’s music selection is dedicated to all of you plus Hamilton was a great musical. If you look below, you’ll see I linked a story from Bleeding Green Nation; I’m as surprised as you are, that I would link anything from there....however if the words or subject in the article trigger you I’m going to recommend you step away from your computer and go for a walk. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s weekend eve time to, plan the beer and meat menu for the weekend.
