  • It's not Omaha - it's Geauxmaha!
    Jun 19 2025

    Keith, Jason, and Ron discuss the inconsistent performance of the St. Louis Cardinals - are they the May version or was that just a mirage? Does the WNBA need to do a better job protecting Caitlin Clark? A new feature looks wrap up "loose ends." It's the College World Series in Omaha and it has LSU looking formidable on the field and in the Jell-O Shot Challenge. Klaus comes alive for St. Louis City SC, but it's only enough for yet another draw. The Florida Panthers are unstoppable, and Jason plans a historic trip to the horseshoe ... in a Longhorn jersey.

  • The Oakland Chiefs, St. Louis Chiefs or Kansas Chiefs - a Kingdom Nightmare
    Jun 12 2025

    Joe, Doug and Ron celebrate The St. Louis Sportists reaching the 1,000-follower milestone by considering several burning questions. What to make of the St. Louis Cardinals and their many positive pieces that have yet to form a complete puzzle?

    We finally have White Smoke from Aaron Rogers' mud hut and money for the Chiefs to stay in Missouri is a virtual certainty. Does that settle where the Chiefs will play home games in the future? Not so fast, my friend. The Hunt Family must consider all options.

    The US Open goes to Oakmont where an actual golfer may be lost in the rough and there's no guarantee the winner will be under par. The NCAA clarifies NIL – at least that’s all settled, and challenges are coming to college basketball to (somehow) improve the pace of play. And CITY SC is better but has a long way to go.

    Join us for an episode that will fly by without causing fatigue-related issues.

    They cover a wide range of topics from public money for stadiums to why Tony can't watch the Denver Broncos in public. Tony shares how growing up with a father as a coach prepared him to be a columnist and if he believes the Cardinals or Blues will someday move from downtown St. Louis to St. Louis County.

    Learn about how debtor's prisons still operate in Missouri -- in 2025 as well as what to do on the day you win a Pulitzer Prize (hint - champagne is involved). Come along for the ride -- but don't miss your exit.
