Over the years, we've received some fantastic vanity plates that reference local sports teams and athletes. We received this photo via the trusty JoeSportsFan inbox the past weekend and it bears some analysis. That's "Waiting for 11" in vanity metal lingo. But...

In exactly seven days, the Cardinals will play their first game of 2012 and effectively begin defending their reign as baseball's top dog. To prepare you for the seasonal array of hooligans, brutes and overly intoxicated meat heads, we're going to rummage through last year's photo gallery and present something to chew on for next seven days.

After weeks of preparation and planning, The JoeSportsFan Show finally becomes a reality this Friday. We have plenty of reindeer games planned for Episode One, including listener/reader interaction that will allow you to win some fun prizes along the way. We're calling this weekly segment, "The Weekly Hypothetical".

Granted, it’s only one game.  Plus, the Cardinals are saving Wainwright for the home opener, Carp’s arm is dangling like a wet noodle and Garcia might get the yips.  Undoubtedly, there are many reasons Mike Matheny is going with Kyle Lohse as his unlikely Opening Day starter.  If you ignore him running on fumes in [...]

Spring Training is an opportunity for the familiar faces that populate Major League rosters to grease the axles and knock the dust off Winter inertia.  But Spring Training isn’t just about the high-priced talent with tenure.  Rookies, journeymen and non-roster invites get their chance to shine during the month of March.

But St. Louis Rams kicker Josh Brown is opening up and taking a stand for the Mustached American community in an effort to provide clean drinking water to people who need it. You see, many people don’t know it, but each [...]

In his heyday, Mike Tyson was often referred to as the “baddest man on the planet.” Tyson, however, didn’t have a mustache. And that’s why when I was preparing to visit the St. Louis Cardinals 2011 World Series trophy this past weekend, I was brave enough to dress appropriately for the part. Sure, this might [...]

We at Joe Sports Fan are nothing if not 100 percent completely immature. This is not even up for debate. So when we learned about the Twitter handle of second-year St. Louis Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, like a second grader that just learned a new dirty joke, we had to share it with anyone and [...]

Yesterday, the Cardinals announced that they will celebrate their most recent World Series championship by trotting out gold-coated uniforms and caps on Opening Day. Pompous, sure. But they're nothing compared to the 1927 jerseys.

In the same week that their new defensive coordinator was slapped with an indefinite suspension based on his barbaric “bounty system”, we found it at least a tad ironic that staff members from the St. Louis Rams were out reading Dr. Seuss books to kids at various St. Louis Public Schools in celebration of the [...]
