The season ends tonight Kirk Cousins Jersey , folks"Well, this is it, folks. In just a few hours, the 2018-19 NFL season will be completely over and done with. There’s still one more game to go, however, and it’s the biggest one of them all.Live from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, it’s Super Bowl LIII, featuring the New England Patriots, champions of the AFC, taking on the NFC Champions, the Los Angeles Rams.Both of these teams have played two playoff games thus far, with each winning their first game at home before going on the road to win their second game. For New England, they got started by blowing out the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 41-28, and then going into Arrowhead Stadium to knock off the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, 37-31. For the Rams Marcus Sherels Jersey , they defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional round by a final tally of 30-22, and then went to New Orleans, where they thoroughly outplayed the Saints en route to a completely legitimate 26-23 overtime victory.This is the ninth Super Bowl for the Patriots in the era of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, and the third year in a row they’ve represented the AFC in the final game. On the other hand, the Rams are making their first appearance in the big game since February of 2002, when they played. . .the New England Patriots. The Patriots won that one in the game that really kickstarted their era of dominance, defeating the Greatest Show on Turf by a final score of 20-17.We are less than half an hour from kickoff in Atlanta, folks. Consider this your Open Thread for today’s festivities, and enjoy the game as much as you can enjoy any football game that doesn’t involve the Minnesota Vikings. Merry Tuesday, everyone!Another fine day is upon us in Vikings land, the grime from Sunday a little less noticeable than it was yesterday. Speaking of which, I may owe an apology or two. I logged on yesterday afternoon, and saw some disagreements with what I said (although most of them were arguments against things I didn’t say), but I replied to some legitimate arguments, and looking back Xavier Rhodes Jersey , my replies came across with much more snark than I intended, so to Raa and a couple others, my apologies. I still say Cousins played a s****y game, but to each their own. Who cares, let’s kill the Cowboys and we can go into the bye week a little happier.Around the DN since our last open thread:Zim Tzu doesn’t play percentages, the latest from the Warrior Poet, told by Ted as only he can tell it.Chris asks “Why can’t the Vikings win outdoors on grass?”. Maybe it’s a combination of apathy & the munchies? Get it? On grass? Nevermind.The Vikings aren’t sure when Adam Thielen will be back, from Chris. I say let him sit until he’s ready, don’t rush him back, let him heal up so he’s ready for the playoffs.Ted is here to have a Ted talk, week 9.Luft Krigare posted Vikings vs. Chiefs - GMG in the Raw! Other Vikings and NFL news, other sports news, and random oddities and annoyances:Over at Vikings.com, catch Coach Zimmer’s Monday presser, Wobby breaks open the Monday Morning Mailbag Mike Remmers Jersey , and they talk about the causes of the red zone problems on After Further Review.One step forward and two steps back (aaaaaand I just came up with my media selection). From NFL.com, a day after getting their first win, the Dolphins lost their running back for four games as Mark Walton was suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.From ABC, Jermaine Whitehead has been released by the Browns, and also had his Twitter account suspended by Twitter, after sending.....twits....or whatever you call them...., some of which taken to be death threats toward fans who were critical of his play in the Browns’ latest loss.One of the twits read “Imma kill you b---- ... that’s on blood,”. Whoops, mahybe want to have a shower & calm down before jumping on social media. Not a good idea to read Twitter in the locker room right after a game, and definitely not a good idea to respond to fans on Twitter whilst in the locker room right after a game. Goofball.I hope this link works. As of the time of me writing this, the Cowboys are ahead of the Giants by 5 with a little over 9 minutes to go, and I won’t be awake for the ending, so I hope the link takes you to the final score. If not, you probably already know it. I tried.We come to today’s media selection:Here’s some good ol’ 80s country for you. This is from the Desert Rose Band, enjoy!We all know the rules Riley Reiff Jersey , but in case someone is new:No discussion of politics or religionNo feeding of the trollsLeave 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 sarcasm.With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on, don’t tip the cows don’t forget to tip your waitress, and try to back away from the ledge, they’re 6-3.
