This morning, I delivered my State of St. Louis Sports address. Here is the transcript of the speech I gave to the St. Louis sports fan on 590 The Fan KFNS:
Thank you for the opportunity to share my observations of some local teams during the past calendar year. Lets begin with the good.
St. Louis Cardinals [...]
Highly touted quarterback, James Franklin, from Corinth, Texas enrolled early at Mizzou last week, and he is looking someday to make an impact at the quarterback position for the Tigers. He lived in Rolla, Missouri for several years before moving to Texas before he started seventh grade. He will be signing his letter of intent [...]
As Mizzou Head Coach Gary Pinkel prepares for the February 3rd National Signing Day for high school football recruits, this year’s class on paper has the potential to be his best ever. Rivals. com currently has the Mizzou verbal commitments ranked #15 in the country (right behind Notre Dame and ahead of Virginia Tech, UCLA, [...]
The weekend had a ton of football and a big firing in the St. Louis area. The college football was very good with a disappointing end for local fans. The NFL playoff picture is now set too with a great end to the season for one of the teams from the state of the Missouri [...]
I am looking forward to watching the contrast of styles today in Houston. This blog entry will be a running log of the event of the game and my thoughts/analysis as it appears.

Tomorrow will be the last show of 2009 for “The First Call”. We will have a series of top 5 discussion on the program. This will include top 5 sports stories of the year, top 5 sports stories of the decade, and top 5 movies of the past year. Just to give you a taste, [...]
Imagine the uproar if Mark Mangino had not personally handed Mizzou a victory on Saturday. Mizzou would have had a 7-5 record instead of 8-4. I have to say that winning versus Kansas sure did feel good, and I was willing to overlook a couple of questionable coaching calls by Gary Pinkel. Regardless, Pinkel has [...]
The long weekend was extremely entertaining in the sports world with some great football on all levels. Four action packed days that will make it extremely difficult to get up Monday morning. I am sure that I am not the only one to think this. At least, we can look forward to a great Monday [...]
The last couple of weeks I have been on a good streak. This past week, I won one of the Locks and pushed on the other. I was able to win both Upset Specials. I am now a combined 15-4-1 on the Upset Specials. I had my second straight winning week in both levels. This [...]
I took the week off last week in making picks since I was doing a fundraiser for cancer at Oakville High School. I am ready to get back on the horse now though. I essentially had my bye week. I am now ready and refreshed to actually have a Lock of the Week win.
