Mizzou Running Back Derrick Washington Charged with Sexual Assault

 Posted on August 31, 2010  |  The Editor

It had to be something this heavy for Derrick Washington, the stand-out running back, to be mysteriously suspended by Mizzou head coach Gary Pinkel last week. Division I college football coaches generally don’t just “indefinitely suspend” one of their best players for the something like library fines, and sure enough, the rap on Washington is a way worse than library fines…unless you broke in to the library after dark and put your penis in the books without asking, then it would be about the same.

Cardinals Lose Again and Over-Share on Their Pre Game Bowel Movements

 Posted on August 31, 2010  |  The Editor

The Cardinals lost. Tony hates Rasmus. The team just doesn’t give a crap. Buzz Bissinger’s pissed. Blah blah blah…when will the Cardinals give us something new! Anything?! Please! Just anything! Last night we got this: “Happ stymies Cardinals with two-shit shutout” Telling the world about your game-long battle with the Deluxe Nachos really takes the win out of your use of “stymies”. In honor of the Cardinals upcoming “Social Media Day” did you know the Cardinals auto-tweet out their headlines? [Read More]

Pujols and LaRussa Attend Glenn Beck Rally

 Posted on August 30, 2010  |  The Editor

“I made it clear when we were approached: I said, ‘If it’s political, I wouldn’t even approach Albert with it.’ I don’t want to be there if it’s political,” That’s Tony LaRussa talking last week about the rally in the nations capitol over the weekend put on by Glenn Beck and featuring Sarah Palin. Political? Maybe, maybe not. Controversial? No doubt about it. Beck’s rally has both ruffled feathers and drawn curious looks for its choice of date and guests, despite Beck’s claims that the point is only to restore the honor of stuff that most believe still had plenty of honor in the tank, and is saying any date-correlations are completely accidental (the day the rally takes place is the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech).

JoeSportsFan Figures Out Airport Shops Suck Balls

 Posted on August 27, 2010  |  The Editor

Our friends at JoeSportsFan.com and KFNS.com just released their expose on the absolute crappiness of the Lambert Airport sports shop “Hometown Favorites”. Summery? Pedro Guerrero is prominently displayed. Pretty much all you need to know to see where this is going. Its no surprise of course. Airports in general are set in their own little world. A scary world where an 87 year old woman can take down a plane with a pair of safety scissors, a Burger King Whopper with Cheese costs $9. [Read More]

Pfffft. You Don’t Mean That Johnny Damon!

 Posted on August 25, 2010  |  The Editor

“I love Detroit.” That was former Kansas City Royal, Oakland Athletic, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankee and current Detroit Tiger Johnny Damon ****yesterday after turning down a chance to be traded back to the Boston Red Sox team he helped bring a World Series Championship to in 2004 after sweeping the Car…ugh. Blockquote to break the painful memory anyone? The Red Sox claimed Damon on waivers this week, but he had the right to veto a move to Boston because of a no-trade clause in his contract. [Read More]

First there was the sudden claim of the team from Shahid Khan, then the NFL rules he had to dodge about cross-city ownership, and after all that, he had to be all like “Dude. I don’t have the money, but I promise I will have it soon. [Read More]

Lots of people are, dare we say, happy about this little traffic stop and following mug shot. …and then we got this thrown our way: The fact that someone took the time to make and circulate this says a lot.

 Posted on August 20, 2010  |  The Editor

Anything to get Fox 2’s Tim Ezell to come visit huh River City Rascals?
