Out Of Nowhere, This Has Become An All-Sports Blog

Earlier this week - - two posts linking politics to baseball, here and here.

Now this good news/bad news observation about the decision approving a new NFL stadium in Minneapolis. The good news is that the facility is in the heart of the downtown, thus good for business, rail transit and the rest of the built environment and infrastructure there.

The bad news: It's still for the Vikings.

OK: so there's your baseball and basketball connections, so hows about a basketball metaphor, you ask?

And NASCAR, too.

Later today, for sure, sports fans.
