January 2008 ArchivesGrowing up in St. Louis during the 80's and 90's Missouri football was considered a joke. I played in the Suburban North Conference in the early 90's with a lot of very talented players who played at big Division-I schools and there wasn't a one that would even consider Mizzou at that point. That changed under Larry Smith. I won't rewrite history here because Smith was not successful in recruiting in St. Louis, which ultimately lead to h... If you have followed this blog at all during the basketball season you will know that I have not been a big fan of Rick Majerus. I still believe he has been disrespectful to his players through the media. I have not liked the attitude of "I didn't pick these guys and they didn't pick me." I think that is horrible for a leader to say. I think he has not helped to draw any fans to watch the Billikens this season. I think thus far he has d... This has been a very interesting couple days if you are interested in how the media covers a story. In this week alone there have been two events that have happened in the St. Louis sports scene that are really interesting from a media ethics perspective. The first one involves Albert Pujols. You know the backstory of Pujols name being leaked about the Mitchell Report and how it was covered by another station in town. Monday Albe... The trade of Scott Rolen to Toronto will happen barring any problems with either player's physical on Monday. From my perspective it was time to send Scott Rolen out of St. Louis. There is no question in my mind that Rolen was the best third baseman to ever put on the Cardinals uniform in my lifetime and maybe ever. That being said Scott put the Cardinals in a bad spot by continuing the feud with him and Tony. Although Tony has not been... I listened to the entire Roger Clemens press conference today and although I am fairly certain that we will never get the entire truth I am not unchanged in my belief that Roger Clemens is guilty of something. What that is I don't know but if Clemens' lawyers and him thought that 17 minutes taped phone call was going to clear his name they are all sadly mistaken. The entire conversation can be heard here on kmov.com but here is my im... Four Quick Thoughts on this week...... 1. For the first time in my 31+ years on this planet I woke up on New Year's Morning and said....I'll turn on the Missouri Football game. It was awesome to do that and I was very excited to watch them kill the Razorbacks. Although it wasn't the game everyone wanted Mizzou to play in they made the best out of a bad situation by destroying a middle of the road SEC team in Arkansas. I know Mis... |
