On February 1st, we launched this shiny new website and a Kickstarter campaign to spearhead a weekly podcast centered around St. Louis sports humor. We hit our goal and the first show will debut at the end of March. Oh, but we have additional announcements...

On Tuesday, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and agent Melvin Roman provided a timetable for negotiations regarding a contract extension by indicating that they wouldn’t engage in talks during the upcoming season. This news came days after Molina and his agent said that they were willing to negotiate during the season, but not Spring Training.  Yet [...]

Even with Mizzou’s disastrous home loss to Kansas State last night, all eyes remain on the weekend showdown in Lawrence, KS. We all know about the basketball and football rivalry between Kansas and Mizzou and how it’s coming to an end. We’ve heard it a thousand times. But the battle that may last long after [...]

It’s rare that you can point to something and be confident labeling it as “the ugliest” of all-time. This past month, our fan hunters may have located the ugliest St. Louis sports jersey of all-time. Sure, the label is inherently cliché, but our fan hunters have tremendous perspective. They’re like jersey anthropologists. They’re doing it [...]

It’s often understated, but oftentimes athletes will join teams that play in states like Florida and Texas, which do not have state income taxes, because — you know — one can only give up so much of $18 million in annual salary.

It’s official: Bruce Weber’s last meal has been served. Another frustrating home loss to Purdue was the final appeal to a sentence now certain to be carried out. It seems like forever ago that Weber coached Bill Self’s players to the national title game. Why, back then the Edward Jones Dome was a state-of-the-art facility [...]

Just a few years later, it faded away with a whimper, it’s doors locked with everything left inside except Hungo himself. Nearly two years after it [...]

The Jeremy Lin phenomenon is virtually impossible to ignore right now for a sports fan. The puntastic last name, the fact that he plays in the most self-absorbed sports market in the nation, its inescapable. But, if you think about it, it’s not all together unusual to see a completely random name stroll into town and put on a show that makes that city’s fans swoon. We’ve even seen a few come through this town as well – for now we’ll call them the Jeremy Lin All-Stars…

For the past ten seasons in St. Louis, Matthew Leach has been running the Cardinals beat. Ten seasons. Or, 1620 games. Last week, Matthew officially began a new assignment/promotion with MLB.com and handed over the reigns to Jenifer Langosch.

David Freese’s helmet. Autographed balls from the 1982 team. Adam Wainwright’s locker room nameplate. The Cardinals are auctioning off a lot of good stuff this month via their team-run version of eBay. And of all the items for sale this time around, what is checking in as the most coveted?
