Rams Fire Spagnuolo, Devaney; Where to Now?
Following perhaps the most disappointing season in recent memory, the St. Louis Rams fired both head coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney earlier today. After finishing last season 7-9, 2011 was seen as a measure of optimism, perhaps a turnaround season that could get the Rams back into the playoffs, or at the […]
StL Sports Roundup
Missouri Tigers – Gabbert Declares In a move that shouldn’t really have surprised any Mizzou fans,quarterback Blaine Gabbert declared himself eligible for the 2011 draft. Gabbert’s junior season was better in some categories than 2009, but worse in others. He improved his completion percentage by 4.5 points, from 58.9 to 63.4% and he also ran […]
The Rams – Looking Back and Ahead
Well, if last night didn’t lead to an increase in blood pressure medicine being prescribed, nothing will. But, hindsight’s 20/20, and overall 2010 can’t be considered anything less than a massive success for the Rams. I’m gonna look back at last night’s game, the season overall, and look ahead at 2011 and beyond. Last Night […]
The Year in Sports
For most St. Louisans, 2010 wasn’t exactly a super memorable year in sports. None of the big teams won a championship, few players had standout years, and many of the teams in general were disappointing given pre-season expectations. Still, there were moments to remember. I’ll look back on the year in general for local sports […]
Weekend Recap Post Lacks Clever Title
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, […]
Tempered Hope: Rams Lose, Show Promise
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 […]
Feeley Hurt, Rams Fans Rejoice
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 […]
The 2010 Rams Are Going to the Super Bowl, if They Buy Tickets
Mark it down, you read it here. The St. Louis Rams are going to the Super Bowl. Just…not this year. Maybe a few of them might get tickets. But eventually, they will go to the Super Bowl as a team. Coming off a 1-15 season last year, the Rams have at least one thing going […]
NFL Draft Thoughts – First Round
Change of pace today. As I sat in an emergency room for four hours last night (turns out I’m not pregnant; they just switched the urine samples), monitoring the draft status on my phone, two thoughts ran through my mind: would the Rams rue picking Bradford, and why didn’t I realize how many hot nurses […]
St. Louis Cardinals News – Rasmus = Boss, and Other Insights
Anyone else watching the game last night almost kinda-sorta hoping for a brawl? Obviously, Chris Carpenter getting in a fight and getting suspended/hurt would be quite a bad thing for the team, but I love his bulldog old school mentality. Watching the game, reading his lips after he got hit, I half-expected him to charge […]
