Dan McLaughlin Pleads Guilty to DUI Charge

Posted on November 18, 2010 | The Editor

The man behind the best St. Louis-related mugshot since Ozzy Osbourne was arrested rocking a Blues jersey, Cardinal’s TV broadcaster Dan McLaughlin, has plead guilty to the DUI charge he earned back in August. McLaughlin, 36, has completed community service and will serve two years’ probation in the case, said his lawyer Jim Towey. As part of the plea deal, the state will not revoke McLaughlin’s license. Shortly after his arrest, the court issued a stay order, which means McLaughlin was allowed to drive while the case was pending. [Read More]

Rams Lose in Overtime to Crappy 49ers

Posted on November 15, 2010 | The Editor

Someone tell the Rams that the games on the road count too. For the second time in as many away games, the Rams let a win slip away in the final seconds as the 49ers beat the Rams in overtime, raising their record to 3-6 while the Rams dropped to 4-5 and out of 1st place in the NFC West. What the hell happened? Maybe we don’t have wide receivers worth a damn. [Read More]

St. Louis Cardinals are the Second-Best Real Estate on MLB Monopoly

Posted on November 10, 2010 | The Editor

A few years ago the people of Milton Bradley decided to turn out their little mustachioed real estate mogul and let any old brand, knock off that top hat and go to town on the Monopoly Man. The latest brand to take a ride on the “hope you don’t realize this is the same game as the last 45 incarnations” train is Major League Baseball. The only intrigue when they churn out a new Monopoly game is what parts of the theme are worthy of Boardwalk and what crap do they throw down on the ghetto by the jail that is St. [Read More]

Woah! Calm Down Rams Fans!

Posted on November 5, 2010 | The Editor

Here we were thinking a 4 – 4 team was pretty good after only managing 3 wins the last two years, but if you look at the faces in this picture of the stands during a recent game our tipster alerted us too you would think these people were watching an episode of NCIS. Freaking horrible show. Mark Harmon?! Really, you made a show staring Mark Harmon? We’ve gotten better performances from the parking lot guy that asks for “just a couple of bucks, whatever you’ve got on you” every day, or the guy that keeps handing us envelopes with “restraining orders” in them.

Here’s the Actual Photo of Sam Bradford in a Mizzou Jersey

Posted on October 28, 2010 | The Editor

On Monday we mocked up what we thought it would look like when Sam Bradford pays off his bet with a Rams teammate about who would win Saturday’s game of Mizzou vs Oklahoma (above), but yesterday the real thing went down and we have photos of Oklahoma’s former QB rocking a personalized Mizzou jersey, courtesy of Rams wide receiver Danario Alexander.

It all started with an early morning tweet by Alexander saying simply “Good morning people!! I have a surprise for you today.”

A few hours later two more tweets followed with attached photos of Bradford rocking his personalized Mizzou jersey with his old college days number 14 on the front:

When reporters asked if Bradford ever thought about going to Mizzou out of high school, the media-savvy rookie quarterback replied:

Absolutely not, I wanted to win Big 12 championships.

…and what will he do with his personalized Mizzou jersey?

It’s going right back to Mr. Alexander. He can take it wherever he got it.

Full photos after the jump!
