Overnight smoke on a 10lb pork butt.  Buddy pulled it off after I went to work and says it's amazing...




Thank you again, you guys rock!

....that the offensive line is going to continue be the big weak spot and undermine the season. Everything else is in place to be a strong presence in the NFC. But it begins and ends with the lines.

Players on the Vikings’ defense are heading into the season confident that they can dominate.“We’ve got the best defense in the NFL,’’ Vikings defensive tackle Tom Johnson said.
Other players echoed those sentiments. Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter said the players have it in their minds that they should be the best in the league.
“That’s what we’re going for,” Hunter said. “You got to want to be the No. 1 defense.”
Said safety Harrison Smith, “That’s the mindset we have to have.”
That’s where the Vikings were last year, as their defense dominated on the way to a 5-0 start. But the defense declined significantly later in the season, and the Vikings went from 5-0 to 8-8. The Vikings need their defense to back up its brash talk for 16 games this season

About an hour before the Minnesota Vikings’ afternoon practice on Monday, the team announced that RB Latavius Murray was taken off the physically unable to perform list and would be practicing.
About 10 minutes before practice, they announced that their top free-agent acquisition, left tackle Riley Reiff, was returning to practice.  B)
