Minnesota Vikings stadium a monorail in waiting?

Posted May 15th, 2012 by Stephen Knight

Image courtesy of the FOX Broadcasting Company Have you ever seen the episode of The Simpsons when the town of Springfield is dazzled into buying a pricey monorail that turns out to be a track to nowhere that costs the citizens tons of money? It’s a great parody of the short-sighted enthusiasm we often have for pricey gew-gaws while other basic public infrastructure needs like roads or transit or schools are ignored.

Posted May 8th, 2012 by Stephen Knight

What’s more interesting than former quarterback Kurt Warner’s recent comments that he would rather his sons not play football because he’s concerned about their safety is the swift and relentless flaming of the former grocery bagger-turned-Super Bowl Champ. Comment boards are full of angry comments that Warner should shut up and not “trash the game,” as former teammate Amani Toomer opined in a startling lack of nuanced thought. Toomer said it was “disingenuous” of Warner to make negative comments about football when everything he’s ever gotten in life came from the game. It’s odd that Toomer thinks Warner should keep…
