Monday Open Thread: July 23, 2018

We’re all a bit shocked, I’m sure, as the team’s offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano passed away over the weekend. Sparano was a part of the somewhat miraculous Vikings O-line turnaround last year, and had previously helped Oakland assemble a formidable offensive line. His shoes will not be easy to fill. I’m sure the team will fill the vacancy soon, as training camp is upon us, but this was a total surprise. My prayers with the Sparano family.

Around the DN since our last open thread:

The ESPN Future Power Rankings predict the Vikings will continue to field a contender for years to come.
