Pure Wow
It\’s been 914 days since the last post on simpleprop.com. It was my annual (at that point) Vikings preview for the 2014 season… let\’s not even talk about that. In these days of the rise of nationalism, Trump, Travel Bans, ISIS, Russia, and so on; what has finally gotten me off my ass to write…

2014 Vikings Preview
Before we look ahead to 2014, let\’s take a brief look back at 2013. 2013 was one of the more painful years of being a Vikings fan… well, one that didn\’t involve going to a championship game and losing… but I digress.

Food Inc.: Revisited
Recently I watched Food Inc. for the second time. There was a quote that caught my ear from Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms. I\’m paraphrasing but essentially it was that when he is at the farmers market people come up to him and are outraged that a dozen eggs from his farm costs three dollars,…

2012 Vikings Preview
The Vikings are coming off of their worst year since the Les Steckel year in 1984. I can\’t get any worse than 3-13, can it? Don\’t ask questions that you don\’t want to hear the answer to. But before we look ahead, let\’s look back at that stinker of a season.
