Right now, it’s a good time to be a football fan in St. Louis. With big wins by two of the “local” football teams, this weekend could potentially be a turning point in the seasons for both teams. I’ll give a brief post on both of the wins by Mizzou and the Rams. Missouri 30, […]
Hello all, sorry I haven’t written anything in quite a bit. Life’s been a bit hectic and…yeah. From around St. Louis sports: Cardinals The Cardinals have all but been eliminated from the post-season. As we sit here, the magic number for elimination is two, meaning any combination of Cardinals losses/Reds Wins equaling two will eliminate […]
I think football’s back in St. Louis. Welcome back on the bandwagon. Seems like most of you left the last few years. The Rams lost today to the Arizona Cardinals 17-13, but all around town, there seems to be the sense of renewed hope for the coming years. Obviously the big story is going to […]
“Let’s roll.” The now-famous last words of Todd Beamer as he and other passengers of Flight 93 attempted to re-take the plane have become a rallying cry around the world for Americans. Be it various armed forces groups using the words as motivation or bands and artists crafting songs around them, the nation found a […]
Holy s***. Pretty sure that’s what they should have titled this movie, because that’s what I heard people uttering the most throughout the film. Combining boobs and gore and utter ridiculousness, this film has pretty much everything a guy could ask for in a summer flick. I hadn’t seen any of Robert Rodriguez’s previous work, […]

The Cardinals also announced that they hoped to start winning once again in 2011, and perhaps […]
“The only way you can ever be content is if you marry your best friend.” This line, perhaps the most profound sentence ever uttered by any actress who starred in ET and flashed David Letterman, is one of the more poignant lines of the film Going the Distance. Technically billed as a romantic comedy, the […]
Ok, the headline’s a bit apocryphal. I hope, anyway. Playing in what looked to be a monsoon, the Rams gutted out a 19-17 win at Cleveland. It certainly wasn’t the prettiest win, and it was a pre-season game, but hey, any port in a storm. Thoughts on the game: – A.J. Feeley isn’t ready to […]
In sports, the goal is by nature to be competitive, to win, regardless of cost and feelings. See: James, LeBron. If you watch enough sports, you will see these stories countless times. These are the stories that attract negative attention to sports, that convince people of the selfish, narcissistic nature of sports. It’s unfortunate, then, […]
I’m not sure whether to be amused or unsettled by the fact that the vendors in the Beer Garden of T.R. Hughes now recognize my friends and I on the spot. After the entertaining double-header and dollar beer last week, it took little convincing for me to get Jackie and Elizabeth to come to the […]
