A source sent this screenshot of a STLToday Facebook poll on Friday over the tip line (/tips or [email protected]): According to the source, it didn’t stay up for long, but still interesting to know that while the majority of the St. Louis sports faithful agree with the Rams’ draft strategy, others wanted a better wide receiver, or it just all simply made their dick hurt. Factor in failures like this and their constant use of pop up ads, and maybe it makes more sense to just have the Post Dispatch stick to writing stuff on dead trees. [Read More]

The Rams hadn’t even drafted LSU’s Michael Brockers before the guy already started on his big shot pro athlete schtick. How do we know? Twitter of course! If Jose Canseco has taught us anything, it’s that you are exactly what your Twitter feed says you are. Brockers took to his Twitter account hours before the draft with news that he… Already has that football player style down: He uses little pictures to tell you that he’s rich now: [Read More]

Joke Twitter accounts are the new awesome hilarious thing, and like @HologramTupac they spring up as fast as they cease to be funny. However a few manage to serve a purpose and our current local favorite is @BestFansStLouis who spends all their time retweeting the horrible things tweeted by Cardinal fans, also know throughout the land as “baseball’s best fans”. There’s not much else to say other that prepare yourself for the worst when following **@BestFansStLouis **because holy sweet baby Jesus dog farts some of this stuff is crazy. [Read More]

Rams quarterback Sam Bradford was spotted at Coachella with St. Louis-based 19 year old “super model” Karlie Kloss over the weekend and the internet is a buzz with Bradford’s ugly hipster sweater and how they’re just giving away the title of “super model” these days. Ok, she’s cute. And she’s from St. Louis so bonus points, but when she smiles and looks down towards the camera…by the power of Greyskull, all we see is Skeletor: [Read More]

Has the balls to call out Boston Red Sox baseball and their self-righteous fans? For Scott, who was a member of the Orioles when Baltimore beat Boston on the last day of last season to help prevent the Red Sox from making the playoffs, it’s the second time in as many months he’s taken a shot at the Sox. During spring training, he said keeping Boston out of the playoffs was even more pleasing because of his disdain for its fans. [Read More]

You might have not realized it, but St. Louis is one of the world’s chess epicenters. No, we have no idea why since we watch baseball, but we’d guess it has something to do with all the time we spend inside here for reasons like: “It’s too cold!”, “It’s too hot!” or “Someone’s shooting at me!” No matter the reason, St. Louis is a great place to play chess and because of that, the entire roster of the reigning collegiate chess championship team are all transferring from Texas Tech to Webster University.

Now that shortstop Rafael Furcal has settled in with the Cardinals and his 2 year deal, he’s moving on from his previous digs in LA by putting his house on the market for 3.8 Million. Shown above, “Casa de Furcal” is described as a “Grand Mediterranean Villa” with a “Dramatic gated two story entry with graceful curved grand staircase and travertine floors.” which sounds really nice, and possibly even nicer if we ever have someone explain to us what most of that meant.

SB Nation St. Louis hit one out of the park today with their post: “Legopiece Theater: Dugout Abbey: John Mozeliak’s Reign of Terror“

Well done @boxcar_fritz, and Mozeliak looks great in a top hat.

Promotional money well spent Memphis Redbirds (the Cardinals minor league affiliate). A giant crotch displaying Cardinal is sure to rile the kids up on game day. “So just point out where on the Cardinal did they make you go inside of it.” We couldn’t figure it out until now, but becoming a depressed weirdo after being screwed up by a giant inflatable Cardinal as a child might be how all those non-Chicago native Cubs fans are made.

We’ve got spirit yes we do! We’ve got spirit, how about…this SLU band girl ESPN photographed last week?! We were going to say “Judging by those glasses and the face paint, that flute is the only thing she’ll be blowing until 15 years from now when some EMT that digs her out from under her pile of cats a gives her a little pity throw.” …but then we noticed the fully face-painted sax guy in the background.
