When the Los Angeles Angels celebrated their American League West championship last night, they included the late Nick Adenart in a big way. The Angels have carried Adenhart’s jersey with them all season and have maintained a locker for him in Angel Stadium and at every road ballpark. They have worn memorial patches on their [...]
As Don and I took to the airwaves this morning, we knew it would be a fun show with the weekend being full of great sports stories (the Rams played, too). Don wrote an excellent column on his Weekend Heroes and Zeroes which, for the most part, I completely agreed with. The callers were plentiful [...]
We had an eventful weekend in the world of sports and television. The Cardinals clinched the NL Central, Mizzou had a big win on Friday, and the Rams had their home opener. Plus, I saw “The Informant” and Animation Domination is back to Fox on Sunday nights.
Weekend Heroes
1. Brett Favre…The old man showed why the [...]
Friday morning was a lively edition of “The First Call.” I opened myself up to huge amount of ridicule from my two co-horts Roger and Scott on the program by pointing out that this could be a huge week for me in my survivor pool since I am taking Baltimore this week. If Philadelphia and Green [...]
Last week, I said that I needed a bounce back week to get my confidence restored. Well, I won on both Locks of the Week, and I won my Upset Sepcial in the NFL and had a push on my Upset Special in college. I am riding high. If you want to have enough money [...]
The Missouri Tigers have cruised to a 3-0 record. Thus far, they have beat three teams that weren’t exactly world-beaters. Now, they must face a Nevada team that is struggling. They are 0-2, losing to both Notre Dame and Colorado State on the road. However, this Wolf Pack team should scare some teams. The Wolf [...]
The St. Louis Rams head to Washington this week for a date with the Redskins. The men from D.C. was hospital hosts last year as they gave the Rams their first victory of the season. This year, I think the Redskins will not have the same hiccup at home. However, the Rams can win this [...]
Last week, I had an absolutley terrible week in my college and pro football picks. Losing the Lock of the Week in both areas is never a good thing. Overall, I was 3-3 for the week. I need a strong bounce back week to get my confidence restored. As always, these picks are for entertainment purposes [...]
Close calls are exactly what some teams need. Sneaking out a win against an inferior team isn’t the worst thing that could happen—if that team is truly inferior. The Missouri Tigers barely snuck by Bowling Green last week. MU came into the game ranked No. 25 after dismantling Illinois the previous week. But they looked [...]
Wednesday Wonders…..how short of a leash will Bulger be on with Coach Spags if the Rams continue to not be able to move the ball effectively? Will the Cards end up signing Matt Holliday this offseason (my prediction is no)? What will Don’s Stat of the Week be on tomorrow’s show? Will Alex Pietrangeo make [...]
