Monday's tragedy in Boston saw an outpouring of gracious acts in the wake of sadness. One of those acts came from former Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola, who made a pledge on Twitter to support the victims of the bombings at the 2013 Boston Marathon.

Network television should use their resources to help detract field rushers.  Seeing a field rusher get tasered in the jugular…in super slo-mo…in high-definition...at various angles on network television…is going to stick in your mind the next time a few 16-ounce Busch tallboys are telling you to jump that rail.

Probably not dropping any huge bombshells here, but David Freese is one of the more gregarious and fun-loving players on the Cardinals’ roster in recent years. Thrust into the spotlight following a superhuman performance in the 2011 playoffs, a big part of Freese’s appeal is his cheerful, happy-go-lucky personality. This was on full display in [...]

It’s always encouraging when pro sports teams get a little creative with their stadium giveaways. Face it, bobbleheads became stale the minute someone decided to give one to this guy. So kudos to the Cardinals for the Stan Musial harmonica giveaway scheduled for this weekend. But when Mike Shannon is overheard telling the KMOX audience [...]

Daryl Doran is the only player to play for every professional indoor soccer team in St. Louis. That's the Steamers, the Storm and the Ambush. And the Steamers again. If you've played for two instances of The Steamers, you pretty have a key to this city. And an everlasting invite to be on The JoeSportsFan Show.

Sports blogging comes with a unique set of perks: an open platform for expression, interacting with other fans and an expanding knowledge of the industry's best sweatpants. But also, people send you things. Mostly books or old baseball cards. Nothing too elaborate or expensive. But every now and then, you get a real diamond in the rough.

The NCAA tournament ramps back up tonight, but there won’t be any local entrees available on the menu of games. Missouri, SLU and Illinois all made abrupt exits from the big dance last week. Of those three, it has become abundantly clear, that for the sake of babies everywhere across the Land of Lincoln, it [...]

When thinking about some of the storylines surrounding Mike Matheny as he transitions into his second full season as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, we couldn’t help but notice that more than a few of them synced with lyrics from classic rock songs. And what better way to communicate something old, like classic rock [...]

Typically, the masses that follow 101 ESPN lap up anything and everything related to the afternoon co-host, but even they were largely unimpressed with this effort. Frankly, we're consistently impressed that radio outlets can sell something like this to a major brand…but selling a dedicated website banner is beyond their capabilities.
