Vikings Discussion and Random Thoughts
We’ve made it to Friday, another glorious weekend awaits us just hours away. I’m scrambling to get all of my work finished and loose ends tied up before I head to Charlotte on Wednesday. I can’t wait for the trip, and it’s coming at a perfect time, we’re supposed to have colder weather and possibly some snow, so the 70s and 80s they’re expecting in Charlotte will be wonderful. It’ll be fun to finally meet some of the national folks from SMART Recovery, I’ve spoken to some of them via phone and Zoom meetings and such, but have never been to a national event to actually meet face-to-face.
Nothing new in the football world, more hypotheticals and speculation about Aaron Rodgers. I guess they have to write about something, and this is the longest, most boring stretch of time of the year for NFL news. I’m glad there’s no Vikings news, because at this time of year, it usually means someone got arrested. I still think KAM is going to do something to generate more draft picks, but I suppose he could do that on draft day if he wanted. I guess we’ll just have to wait.

Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
