    Thank you Matthew Coller and routine guests! You have taught me so much since I started listening a few years ago. I’ve always been a Vikings fan, but this show has elevated my fandom and enjoyment for watching our team. I have more understanding, excitement, and confidence when it comes to talking about the Vikings. Some of us our optimists too, even after tough losses or rocky seasons!

Q: What's your take on how many teams should qualify as definitively better than Minnesota going into the season?

How many teams are better than the Vikings? (w/ Jarrett Bailey of SB Nation)

Q: What makes Brian Flores' defense special or risky from a year-to-year perspective?

Q: If JJ McCarthy is deemed a lost cause, what would be the most likely path for his career next season?
The host suggests a trade for draft capital or a release if no favorable backup role could be found, with a day-3 pick likely the ceiling and potential teams like Jacksonville showing interest in reuniting with him if he's affordable.
