Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
Coral blows goats, I’ve probably typed that at least a dozen or more times since Coral replaced Chorus (rip) as the commenting platform on the SB Nation NFL Blogs. Those of you who’ve been here for a while know (1) I’m annoying, (c) I don’t give up once something ticks me off. I’ve sent multiple emails regarding Coral to the admins regarding the inadequacy of the platform to carry on conversations here at the The Daily Norseman. I was at work yesterday, had a break between patients so I sent another email detailing what I had already laid out in simple form…load all comments, color change with new comments, and find a damn Z key. I did get a reply, the Coral admins are working on adapting the system, below is a link to signup (I did) to beta test the changes they are proposing. If you’re interested, click the link (Friday safe) and test the new ideas and give them honest feedback.
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 the weekend, time to fire up the smoker and start chilling the beer, or go to work.

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep 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 tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to wash your hands, tip the cows and Welcome Aboard!
