Fox2 Sports Broadcast: Headline Goes Here

 Posted on September 5, 2012  |  The Editor

Fox2 got really really close to getting their graphic about the Mets and Cardinals game right. Sure they missed the score, the two lines of notes, and the fact that we’re talking about baseball teams rather than the NFL, but they did get the names right, and judging by the shot, it did appear on TV. Lets call it a 4 out of 10. We don’t want to be too hard on them though, for all we know they probably just fired the guy that does that for them so now they’ve got some schmuck like “friends of the site” Charles Jaco or Chuckie Marlow who are back there at the controls in between one Chuck botching Todd Akin interviews, and the other holding the camera up in one hand MySpace-style, while he covers local high school football games.

KMOV to Add Sharon Reed as News Anchor

 Posted on August 17, 2012  |  The Editor

We’re no fans of the local news, but we’ve got to hand it to KMOV, they know how to collect attractive female anchors. Virginia Kerr, Jasmine Huda, and Clair Kellet are a good start, but St. Louis, welcome the newest contestent in the “hot reporter” ring. One who comes with an interesting past, so we’re hoping for an interesting future in St. Louis: Sharon Reed. We got word late last night, and confirmed by Aaron Hooks (@athooks) on Twitter, that Reed will be the new KMOV anchor, replacing the departing Vickie Newton. [Read More]

Way to spice up your Twitter profile! We hope St. Louis’ criminal element is ready for Lawyer Spice!

St. Louis’ Not-So-Missed Connections

 Posted on July 30, 2012  |  The Editor

Everyone knows and loves perusing Craigslist’s Missed Connections section, and while we don’t like to make a habit of it, we’re no different. It’s amazing how entertaining it is to read people’s desperate attempts to get a hold of someone that they met in a chance connection like checking out at a Schnucks or grabbing a bite to eat at a local White Castle. It’s also amazing how many people don’t seem to fully understand the intent of “Missed Connections”. [Read More]

 Posted on June 2, 2012  |  The Editor

So the Cardinals got no-hit last night by the Mets…which sucks…and it’s even bigger news than a “regular” no-hitter since it’s the first one ever for the Mets, so it’s all over the news…which sucks more.

 Posted on June 1, 2012  |  The Editor

Everyone knows that Becky, the area’s “Queen of Carpet”, has a long history of horrible commercials and if one came on right now, you’d be all like “Ugh, how has that carpet she stands on not given way and let her fall to her death yet?!” …but if we told you she uploaded all of her old commercials to YouTube, we bet you’d spend the vast majority of your Friday watching them!

Fox Sports Midwest Thinks All Middle Infielder Bench Players Are the Same

 Posted on May 29, 2012  |  The Editor

Good catch by the tip line from yesterday’s Cardinal game. Poor Daniel Descalso, he’s only going to hit a few home runs each year, so the least Fox Sports Midwest could do is get the man’s name right as he rounds the bases.

Of course it could be worse. They could have called him “Bench Player Guy”, like poor “Minor League Guy” from spring training.
