Now I've ****ing heard everything.
Did it ever occur to Sandy and the other bozos like him that maybe people like it here BECAUSE the board's majority mindset has always been the exact opposite of the people in that true fan gif?
You can't say the same for personal appearance, but majority mindset? Absolutely.

Only thing I'd add: You left out "savvy."
I've learned a LOT about football from being part of this forum. People who are skeptical tend to require proof and dive into analysis and facts pretty intensely. That requires research and clear communication of it. And for those that are less skeptical, when they research to back UP their more optimistic posts, they sometimes see truths they otherwise would not.
The best thing about this forum is that sunshine and rainbows "I think it will work because they're my team and I WANT it to work" takes are, at best, seen for what they are (hope) and, at worst, made fun of as homer posts.
How those takes are perceived is based on who says it and how they say it. And, I suppose, how unrealistic they are.
That's a good thing. This fan community doesn't spend much time lying to itself ... or at least it tries not to.
