At the bottom of every post, There is a cartoon pic of " monkey on the back" Above the pic is the phrase, " LOL @Viking Mediocrity since 2001".

It appears on your phone in "desktop mode".
It appears on your computer.

If you are expecting the editor of this space to not poke holes in the overly optimistic homer takes. Then maybe youre in the wrong place.

You can find PR homerism at VEN. Also at the many fan sites & mainstream websites with a purpose to feed you confirmation bias.

In this space- the editor is going to call out homer takes. The editor is going to toss cold water on every take that defends the dolts running the vikings. Cold water on every " We are the best BC we are Vikings" take...until theres some sign its true.

If you dont like it. Hey thats fine. Defend your opinion. Reason out an argument why the Vikings are going to be better than expected.

Hope isnt an argument or a plan. Its an emotional response. Save your emotions for your family & friends. Or that day that there IS a championship possibilty based upon the evidence &/or talent.

This editor is not a supporter of alternate facts nor multiple realities. The editor doesnt believe in a multiverse where we all create our own reality. Living in your own reality- in this editors opinion- is another way of saying youre self delluded.

Expect self dellusion to be mocked. Its not a personal attack. Its an attempt to keep the discussion based in FACTS.

As we've learned from the political landscape.
It is impossible to have intelligent conversation with the folks that demand an outright lie is the reality....
Dont expect it to fly here.
Resorting to name calling of others will not go well

If those ground rules offend you. Make you go away. So be it.

In an age where reality & truth are quickly dying.
Probably- this space will finally die off.
