Minnesota Vikings News and Links: February 13th and 14th, 2021
Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
It’s an anniversary weekend of sorts for myself and mrs rob, our first date was 29 years ago Sunday, which is of course Valentine’s Day. Appropriate responses to this knowledge are “congratulations” or “yore old.” Normally we celebrate by going out to dinner at the fancy schmancy French place my wife likes, but of course we can’t; I blame Ponder, Coral and Covid but not necessarily in that order.
The big football news from yesterday was of course the Houston Texans releasing JJ Watt at his request, I understand the move by the team as he was going to be an early cut casualty (due 17.5M this year, he’s 31 and has been injured a lot in the last few years) and JJ gets a head start on free agency as he can sign with any team he chooses..no, it won’t be the Vikings, stop thinking that.
