NFL Running Back Laurence Maroney Arrested on Weapons Charges

 Posted on January 19, 2011  |  The Editor

No, nothing illegal here officer….oh ok, yeah, that gun. I meant nothing illegal other than that gun. Wanna autograph? St. Louis native and current Denver Broncos running back Laurence Maroney was arrested Sunday night for unlawful weapons and drug charges. Let us guess: All that stuff belonged to your buddies and you didn’t know they had it? “Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons. He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon and he had his permit on his person when he was arrested. [Read More]

Rams Hire Josh McDaniels as Offensive Coordinator Who Gets Immediately Wiki-libeled

 Posted on January 19, 2011  |  The Editor

To fill the coaching hole left by the new Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur, the Rams made a big “splash” hire by picking up hot offensive coordinator prospect Josh McDaniels. McDaniels, you may remember, was recently the head coach for the horrible Denver Broncos and before that the boy-genius behind the New England Patriots’ prolific offenses in 2006-2008. Also someone out in California doesn’t like him much. As you can see in the image above from our tipster, someone added the following line to the end of McDaniels’ Wikipedia bio: Josh McDaniels is a Seld-Professed [sic] “Homosexual” and “Jew-Basher[“], and is on very good terms with Mel Gibson.

A Cardinals Winter Warm-Up Wrap-Up

 Posted on January 17, 2011  |  The Editor

Each off-season, the Cardinals hold their annual “Winter Warm-Up” about this time, consisting of player interviews, banquets, fan-forums, autograph sessions and a chance to get old fan-favorite players to come out in an effort to get as many hoosiers to take a hammer to their piggy bank, pile in their truck and come on in to the big city. Not exactly our scene. Others cover the even much better and with far less kicking of shins than we would, so we leave it to them and then recap the whole thing, in no particular order, the following Monday. [Read More]

Rams’ Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo Fires Todd Hewitt and Sounds Like a Dick

 Posted on January 13, 2011  |  The Editor

Last week, just after the Rams season came to a close with the thunderous sound of sucking like it was 2009, 2nd year head coach Steve Spagnuolo fired Todd Hewitt abruptly closing his 24 year tenure as team equipment manager. Hewitt succeeded his father in the role, and, in total, had been with the Rams in some capacity since 1978. We’d been ignoring the Hewitt story, also known as, St. Louis sports media’s current fixation, so far because we didn’t know anything about it. [Read More]

Nobody Likes Ex-Cardinal Pitcher Brad Penny

 Posted on January 10, 2011  |  The Editor

Poor poor Brad Penny, he just wants people to like him, which in today’s society means he needs more Twitter “followers”. Apparently he needs as many as possible so that all the people in the world can enjoy Penny exploring the deepest caverns of the human existence on Twitter with questions like: “Any ideas on what movie we should c tonight?“ He would come over and toss you a baseball but…you know…his arm might fall off which would mean trouble for the right-hander’s plans to get another team to give him millions for 3 or 4 starts and free access to the team’s training facilities.

Mizzou Quarterback Blaine Gabbert Leaves for NFL

 Posted on January 4, 2011  |  The Editor

Oh Mizzou fans, wasn’t it much easier when you had a starting quarterback that was a little short guy that was good but not good enough that any NFL team would pick after 255 chances? You had to go out and recruit a tall kid with a strong arm and good mobility. Now he’s gone. “This is definitely a bittersweet day for me, I was really looking forward to having a chance to do some special things next season with my teammates, but in the end, this is the right decision to make for myself and my family,” said Gabbert.

Sam Bradford Had a Bad Hair Day and the Rams Remind Us They Still Suck

 Posted on January 3, 2011  |  The Editor

Sunday was Sam Bradford and the Rams chance to shine. They should have beaten a bad Seahawks team and at least showed a national audience that the Rams are up-and-commers in the league with a flash new star-in-the-making quarterback, Sam Bradford, not to mention doing the NFL a solid by not allowing the first sub .500 team in to the playoffs. None of that stuff happened. We should have known it was going to go sour from the very beginning when Sam Bradford showed up to his NBC Sports interview with Frank Gifford looking like we just pulled this kid off the farm and yanked his John Deer hat off his matted head.

Rams Beat 49ers, Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

 Posted on December 27, 2010  |  The Editor

The Rams had to win and they did, despite their usual lame offensive coaching when they get even the smallest of leads. Sam Bradford led the charge with 292 yards, going 28 for 37 with 1 touchdown and no interceptions, all while breaking Peyton Manning’s 12-year old record for NFL rookie completions. “I guess it’s pretty cool,” Bradford said of the record. “I’m all fired up about the win. If you don’t get excited for a game like this, you’re probably in the wrong business. [Read More]

Rams Lose Governor’s Cup to Chiefs. St. Louis on Suicide Watch

 Posted on December 20, 2010  |  The Editor

Yeah Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo, we’d be sad too if our team just went out secure play-off spot in the game that decided the all “important” Missouri Governor’s Cup and instead of winning, decided to go out and vag away the game with interceptions, sacks and getting shredded by a dude that just had his appendix taken out less than 2 weeks ago. Cassel went the distance only 11 days after an emergency appendectomy, leading the way in a 27-13 victory over the suddenly sagging St. [Read More]

Keith Tkachuk Finally Starting to Look Like He’s From St. Louis

 Posted on December 17, 2010  |  The Editor

Credit to Deadspin for noticing it first: One of the greatest American-born hockey players ever, Tkachuk was never known as a svelte dude. But just eight months after retirement, he’s looking like he still wears his pads under his dress shirt. Lost some teeth and found some pounds! Replace that dress shirt with a polo embroidered with the logo of your local wooden pallet supplier, throw in some Crocs, and his St. [Read More]
