I never officially announced it here, but my days of writing for SB Nation Minnesota are over, as of early January. SB Nation decided, and I think rightly, to use their regional sites (like SBN Minnesota and SBN Boston) to highlight content from the team-specific blogs in each market and content from the central site, rather than producing original content for the regional sites that cover those same teams. If you head over to SBN Minnesota now, you’ll find a combination of articles gleaned from team-specific sites and nationally-produced news updates. I think that’s fine – I write for Twinkie Town every week, and I’ve written for Canis Hoopus, and I could never quite figure out why I was writing about the same teams for two different sites that were part of the same company.

The one problem was, I was also writing about Minnesota Stars soccer for SBN MN, and there is no team blog for the Stars. I had brief conversations with the higher-ups at SB Nation, but they didn’t have much interest in that coverage, so I was forced to go elsewhere.

Luckily, I’ve found a home – and even more lucky for me, it’s on the most-visited website in Minnesota, at startribune.com. This week, the SoccerCentric blog was launched, with the goal of filling in the cracks and covering the Stars in the way they should be covered.

I really hope you’ll visit and bookmark and comment. The more visitors, the better.
