I have enjoyed writing for SB Nation Minnesota. It’s given me a chance to write about things I usually don’t write much about, these days – the Vikings, the Wild, that sort of thing, plus a long post about Major League Soccer in Minnesota that’s up there with my favorite things I’ve ever written. But ultimately, I couldn’t justify the added time commitment – I just have too much going on to add another pile of writing on top of the teetering stack I already have.

So I’m done, over there, though I encourage you to keep following the site. And before I left, I wrote one last thing, that had a surprising message (for me, at least): Keep hope alive, because as sports fans, it’s all we have.
