No one was trampled trying to make the midnight drop-off at the post office? CDTShareTweetShareShareTuesday Open Thread: The Morning AfterHappy Tuesday, everyone!In theory, yesterday was the Country’s one paycheck for the entire year. Do you think the White House makes a gigantic WalMart run today? I think most of us had those days in our younger years (or some of you youngens are living those days now) when money is basically non-existent, and the very first thing you did (after buying beer, of course) after you cashed your paycheck (Those of you who are younger won’t know what this is, but we used to receive an actual check........yeah yeah, the paper kind with the long lines covered by scribbling.....and take it to a bank or other sort of financial institution, and give it to them in exchange for money......yeah yeah, the stuff on the greenish paper that has a couple numbers on it and all the illuminati messages and what not) was go straight to Walmart or Kmart and stock up on necessities. Get that all paid for and put away safely at home before venturing to the local watering hole, where that entire paycheck might just get spent that evening. Ah, the good ol’ days, I...........honestly........don’t miss ‘em. Some great memories (or lack thereof), and I’m glad I have......some of them, but I do not miss the headaches.Around the DN since our last open thread:Artistformerlyknownasfil put up a fanpost for all of our Harry Potter Game of Thrones fans out there. MarkSP18 has his latest mock draft prepped and posted for your viewing pleasure. Make sure you ask Mark where he plans to draft a punter, he forgets to do that sometimes, it’s good to remind him.Anthony Harris and Rashod Hill will be back with the team in 2019, as they both signed their free agent tenders, per Chris.Wludford is taking an in-depth look at how the Vikings have built one of the NFL’s best rosters, and here is part one.Vikings and NFL news from other sources Dalvin Cook Jersey , other sports, and/or oddities in the news:From SkyNews, an illustration of how useful it can be to have DIY skills. A man in Leeds created, then successfully used, an escape route from his home. He did all of this while the police were knocking on his door.Wow, and I was happy when I could swim a mile non-stop. Oil rig workers in Thailand rescued a dog that was stranded in the water and swimming.........136 miles from shore. They shouldn’t need to take the dog out for exercise anytime soon, should be okay for a day or two.Okay, now this is disgusting. At first glance, it’s no big deal, but read it all, if you’re able. Yeah, I know, who cares? Why stockpile them anyway, right? It’s a waste, I agree, but there is more to this story. Much more, once you dig a little. There is a statement, an actual quote, that was made by a government official in explanation for the decision Alan Page Jersey , and I will show it to you....but after giving you fair warning. The quote you will read is not pleasant. It is filthy and bad and just downright icky. If you have young children in the room reading this with you, cover their eyes before reading any further. Okay? Thanks. Those of you with the stomach to handle it can continue. The following words were actually spoken by someone claiming to be a member of this government entity: .............Yes, you read that correctly. “Not essential for life”. Not essential for life? They actually said that. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe that anyone would make such a ridiclous, irresponsible, and obviously untrue statement. It is beyond reprehensible, and the person making the statement, as well as the news outlet who shared it, should be ashamed. I will remember this ‘Federal Office for National Economic Supply’, and will make sure I NEVER listen to a single word emanating from that filthy pit of filth, lies, and deceit. May God have mercy on their souls.We come to today’s media selection:Speaking of disgusting acts.......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 http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-brett-favre-jersey , the beer light is on and the bar is open.

CLEVELAND — The Freddie Kitchens Era, although still not official, is rolling along.More Vikings coverageDuty might call for Vikings rookie long snapper CuttingRookie minicamp Q&A with Vikings head coach Mike ZimmerVikings sign nine members of 2019 draft classTop Tweets: Minnesota teams have fun with ‘Game of Thrones’Vikings decline fifth-year option for WR Laquon TreadwellWhile his agent continued to hammer out details for him to become Cleveland’s new coach, Kitchens continued to piece together his staff with the Browns. On Friday, former Vikings coordinator Mike Priefer announced he will handle special teams for Kitchens.Kitchens and the Browns reached agreement earlier this week, but as of Friday night the team had still not confirmed his hiring. There don’t appear to be any major obstacles to prevent Kitchens from being named the team’s 17th full-time coach.It’s just taking time.Priefer, who was suspended three games by Minnesota in 2014 for an insensitive remark, released a statement saying he’s coming to Cleveland to work for Kitchens. Priefer spent the previous eight seasons coaching special teams with the Vikings.“I am excited to work with Coach Kitchens, John Dorsey and the entire Browns organization,” Priefer said. “I will always remember my time spent with the Vikings and deeply appreciate everyone that I was able to work with during my time there.”Priefer has some Cleveland roots. He was born in Cleveland and his father, Chuck, began his coaching career in Northeast Ohio before getting to the NFL as a special teams coach.Priefer also has some baggage.The Vikings have suspended him without pay for the first three games in 2014 after an independent investigation into claims by former punter Chris Kluwe showed that Priefer made a homophobic remark during the 2012 season. Priefer later and had his suspension was reduced to two games.“I regret what has occurred and what I said,” Priefer said four years ago. “I am extremely sorry but I will learn from this situation and will work on educating others to create more tolerance and respect.”By all accounts, Priefer has been a model citizen since and he’s proven to be a solid coach. He’s been in the NFL for 17 years, also working in Denver and Kansas City as a coordinator for special teams units that have consistently ranked high in the league.Priefer will replace Amos Jones, who is not coming back to the Browns after one wobbly season as special teams coordinator. The Browns’ kicking game struggled under Jones and the team’s return game was average at best.Kitchens also met on Friday with fired Arizona Steve Wilks about becoming his defensive coordinator. The 49-year-old Wilks was dismissed after going 3-13 season. He’s got a strong defensive background and previously ran Carolina’s defense in 2017.Wilks served as the Panthers’ defensive backs coach from 2012-14 and was promoted to assistant head coach in 2015-16. He’s also been a secondary coach in Chicago and San Diego.Former Denver coach Vance Joseph was scheduled to visit the Browns over the weekend, but he was hired by new Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury on Friday.
