I like to think of it now as our practice facility.

From Rotoworld:

Vikings OC Pat Shurmur will interview for the Cardinals' head-coaching vacancy on Thursday night.

He interviewed with the Lions earlier today. The Cardinals interviewed DC James Bettcher on Wednesday and will sit down with Steelers OL coach Mike Munchak this weekend. Shurmur failed in his first head-coaching stint with the Browns but has rebuilt his reputation with a successful run in Minnesota.

I think the "fluff" pieces will need to be toned down or taken away but it seems like practice facility and locker room is confirmed.

Packers requested to interview Vikes' assistant GM George Patton. Vikings declined the request.

Doesn't that screw Paton though?

FARGO—The grade-school assignment was simple. Draw a picture of yourself of what you want to be when you grow up.

It didn't take very long for Brandon Zylstra to produce a picture that his mother would later display after his high school graduation. The artwork showed Zylstra wearing a No. 84, Minnesota Vikings purple-colored jersey.
...
Growing up in Spicer, Minn.,—located just over 100 miles west of Minneapolis—Zylstra was a Vikings' fan idolizing the likes of receiver Randy Moss who wore the No. 84 that Zylstra drew in his picture. Moss was the inspiration for him to switch from running back to wide receiver when he was a freshman at New London-Spicer High School.

Vikings could have another Thielen story with the signing of Brandon Zylstra

Vikes could shuffle the o-line around. I don't hate the idea of: Reiff-Berger-Elflein-Remmers-Hill.

I trust this more than Cam Jordan vs. Sirles.

I like the line-up, getting our best players out on the field for the playoffs, but didn't Berger struggle on the left side a few years ago?

Remmers played very little guard in college so it's a little concerning. I think from a talent perspective those are the top 5 but I don't know how it translates when swapping positions. I think after the Bears game they asked him if it was "like riding a bike." And his response was something like, "a bike I've never ridden before."
