In all seriousness, it was actually a decent weekend to be a St. Louis sports fan.  Well, at least prior to Sunday afternoon. The Rams pooped all over themselves in Detroit, so the evolving excitement around their rebuilding effort reached a screeching halt.  But, that’s okay.  At the very best, they get back on track [...]

Get your birthday hats and party favors out, it’s time for “This week in St. Louis Sports Birthdays” (pretend that being said in Mel Allen’s voice). By coincidence, the athletes we’re celebrating this week also make up a unique theme – all of them happened to be involved in “notable” trades at some point during [...]

If you’re a dude with an affinity for the Blues and Brett Hull…there’s one, and only one, woman for you. The real question is, “What came first….the jerseys or the relationship?” Personally, I like to think the jerseys came first.  The woman had her hopes set on this gentleman and after years of unsuccessful pursuit, [...]

I have little/no idea why people are in a tizzy over the Brett Hull statue *before* it’s unveiled on Saturday’s Home Opener.  I mean, this thing could very well be revealed without Hull’s signature mullet, which would be a tragedy.

With the recent news that Patriots receiver Randy Moss indirectly forced a trade to the Vikings by publicly whining, he strengthened his reputation as a certain type of professional athlete - a malcontent.  Malcontents tend to pop up in every sport and every city including our own.

As Davidson is apt to do, he encouraged fan and media support by holding a press conference and calmly displaying [...]

With a quarter of the 2010 season already gone, it’s not too early to take a look back at some of the “experts’” attempts to predict what would happen in the trainwreck that is the NFC West.  We’ll concede that it’s tough to criticize anyone trying to project how the NFC West would unfold before [...]

As stated on his personal website, 550 KTRS radio host McGraw Milhaven is “a household name from the halls of the White House to kitchen tables all over the region.” We’re confident the bigwigs at our Nation’s capital would be pleased to learn about McGraw’s advancements through local Oktoberfest circles. We’re not sure how frolicking [...]

With the Cardinals officially closing up their lockers for the 2010 season, the St. Louis sports weekend is bound to get a little leaner around this neck of the woods.  And no, that wasn’t a Dennys Reyes reference. We’re going to count on the Rams and Blues supplying the majority of our post-weekend fodder, but [...]
