Memorial Day is usually the first weekend of significant sunshine exposure we upper-midwesterners have gotten for a very long time, and many of us (alcohol consumption tends to increase the probability of being included in this group) have somehow managed to have forgotten that sun exposure can result in a sunburn, especially when your skin hasn’t seen the sun in over 6 months. Then, on Tuesday, you’ll see this fairly large percentage of our population show up to work today Alan Page Jersey , looking like something that resembles a lobster.......with a hangover. For all our supposed intelligence, we can sure be a dumb species sometimes. Oh well, someone has to keep those doctors from starving.I don’t know what the weather was like in Minnesota, but the rainy weather postponed Sunburn Tuesday until next Monday. We got lots of rain over in Montana where I spent the weekend, and after getting home last night, it appears that North Dakota was the same. Around the DN since our last open thread:Chris shared a highlight video filled with long Minnesota Viking touchdowns.From Chris, there has been a slight adjustment to the compensatory draft picks the Vikings are likely to receive in 2020.Other NFL news and other sports news:From the Sporting News, the NFL is ‘likely to review’ an incident involving Ezekiel Elliot, an incident in which he was handcuffed. The incident happened at a carnival in Vegas? A couple things here. 1) Vegas has carnivals? 2) How on earth do you wind up handcuffed at the carnival, unless you’re the guy who has to escape from an underwater cage?CBS Sports lists three moves the Patriots could still make this off-season http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-favre-jersey , and the first on their list involves a certain Vikings player. You don’t see very many trades where the Patriots get the short end of the deal.We come to our media selection:It’s been a while since we’ve played Metallica, here’s one of my faves of theirs. Enjoy!Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:No discussion of politics or religionNo feeding of the trollsThis isn’t a male version of The View, so leave the gender hatred at the doorKeep 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 tagsNo pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employerIf you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go awayWhile navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasmWith that Womens Stefon Diggs Jersey , the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, and try the sunblock. We’ve often said that the best time for an NFL kickoff is the 1:00 PM Eastern time slot that most games start at each week. . .or, for those of us that live (or grew up) in the correct time zone, a noon kickoff. Unfortunately, if you’re a big fan of the noon kickoff, you’re not going to be a big fan of the Minnesota Vikings’ schedule for the next four weeks.Starting this coming Sunday, the Vikings will play late on Sunday or on Monday for four consecutive weeks. Their next scheduled noon Central time kickoff won’t be until 16 December, when the Vikings are scheduled to host the Miami Dolphins at U.S. Bank Stadium.This is because the league decided last week that this Sunday’s contest against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field would be a better game to feature than the originally scheduled Pittsburgh Steelers/Jacksonville Jaguars contest. . .and they’re probably right. . .meaning that the Vikings’ schedule for the next four weeks looks like this:Week 11 - at Chicago Bears - Sunday Night Football, kickoff at 7:20 PM Central (NBC)Week 12 - vs Green Bay Packers - Sunday Night Football, kickoff at 7:20 PM Central (NBC)Week 13 - at New England Patriots - Late Sunday window Chuck Foreman Jersey , kickoff at 3:25 PM Central (FOX. . .as far as I know)Week 14 - at Seattle Seahawks - Monday Night Football, kickoff at 7:20 PM Central on Monday (ESPN)Given the Vikings’ reputation for laying an egg in prime-time games in recent years, I can imagine that most Vikings’ fans are going to be relatively displeased with this arrangement. However, the run to a second straight NFC North division title (hopefully) begins next week, and this team is going to go out and win some football games, regardless of the kickoff time or where they’re being played.Here’s hoping that Mike Zimmer’s team is up to the task. I think that, after a bye week that will allow them to get most of their key pieces healthy again, they will be.
