Chris Duncan was kind, caring, innocent, respectful. Just a sweet guy. I loved being with him every day. He made us laugh. He was honest, self depreciating & vulnerable. I can't imagine the anguish Amy, Dave and Shelley are dealing with. Tell those you love that you love them.
Missouri Supreme Court rejects Kroenke motion to transfer STL lawsuit to arbitration, so Kroenke will join the other 89 defendants in a STL city courtroom with a STL city jury in the suit which alleges the NFL purposefully misled and defrauded the region.
This first time will happen only once. The next 8-15 days are going to fly by. St. Louis Blues fans, let's make sure we enjoy it, savor it, and take some pictures of it with our mind's eye. This is something we will remember for the rest of our lives.
60,000 sports fans are in downtown St. Louis tonight. They aren't there to see athletes that they're emotionally invested in, or historical franchises. 60,000 people came to watch games and root for ST. LOUIS. Pretty cool. Something to be proud of.
Breaking: MO court of appeals denies NFL writ requesting trial be moved out of city of St. Louis. Trial will be held at Carnahan courthouse starting Jan. 10.
Mizzou just officially lost $10 MM due to NCAA sanctions, already had the 2nd lowest football revenue in the SEC, has an athletic dept. running in the red, has to buy out Odom and his staff and attract a new HC and staff, despite scholarship and recruiting reductions. Good luck.
Huh. Figured the 2-time MVP, 2-time NFC Champion, Super Bowl Champ and Hall of Famer would have his number 13 retired. But that would require something the organization apparently lacks.
How do you explain this to the owner?
-Rip O'Neill
-Send Walker down to change mechanics.
-Z. Thompson told he's their guy, send him to the minors for rest of '23.
-Contreras yanked from catching.
-Lack of fundamentals
-Bad pitch selection
-Regression of young players
Brutal.
Since Albert Pujols (DFA'd today) signed with the Angels, they have won zero post-season games. The franchise he left, the
@Cardinals
, have won 25 in that time.
If I ran a team and one of my sport's best players made a concerted effort to join me, then sacraficed $ to STAY, and his name was in trade rumors that I was asked about, I'd say "the player made a commitment to us, we have a commitment to him, and we're going to win with him"
Not to take shots, but is this NFC Championship game with at least 65% 49er fans at
@SoFiStadium
the most embarrassing showing for a home "fan base" in the history of sports? Anything close?
So Mizzou history is littered with “Tony Van Zant”, “5th down”, “kick six” and “Pig’s drop.” Now, forevermore, Tiger fans will have a great, named memory: “4th and 17.”
STL has record of 2013 phone call with Kroenke, Goodell, Mara (Giants) and Rooney (Steelers). Kroenke says "I'm going to buy 2 parcels of land and build a stadium in L.A." Says we're trying very hard to stay under the radar screen and keep it hidden." Goodell: "We will respect
If the Bruins complain about 33 being checked too hard, they need to remember that A) players must assume that if you're playing, you're 100% and B) they had no problem with Krug running a compromised Thomas in game 1, and we haven't seen Thomas since.

@IsaacBruce80
is one of my favorite people in the world. My reaction to him making the HOF, after an agonizing wait, is different than my other friends that have made it. This one is a little sweeter. See you in Canton, Isaac.
I was 10 when I went to my first Blues game. Didn't really appreciate the 3 Finals trips. One win away. Amazing and unbelievable. What a ride so far.

manager. He rented out a room at Mike Shannon's and brought all the media in, bought us lunch, thanked us. He was the best. What a good guy.
New from the STL/STL Cty/RSA lawsuit vs. NFL/Rams. Kroenke/Rams lost in MO Supreme Court in pleading for case to be settled in arbitration. Appealed to US Supreme court-asked for a stay to delay case. Stay request rejected today, with belief that SCOTUS won't hear Kroenke appeal
I took some time to find the words to express what these last ten years with the
@Cardinals
have meant to me. Thank you, St. Louis. You guys will always be family.
@PlayersTribune
📝:
Ralston-Purina leaves team at the NHL's doorstep. Ornest trades the best players. Caron trades a 2nd line for Butcher and Quinn. Judge Houston awards Stevens to N.J. Kypreos takes out Fuhr. Turek blows up. Vancouver Flu. Pronger trade. The Hand Pass. This is being a Blues fan.
SO happy for Ted Simmons. One of my favorites as a kid, and one of the brightest, nicest baseball minds. He deserves to be in the HOF, and now he will be.
In 2016, the Cardinals were eliminated in game 162. In 2017, it was game 158. In 2018, it was game 161. Since the end of the 2010 season, the Cardinals have played a total of four regular season games in which they didn't have a chance to make the post-season.
If the
@cardinals
go 6-6 in the final dozen (5 vs. Mil, 7 vs. Cubs), Cincy would have to go 9-1 to tie. Philly would have to go 10-1 to tie if Cards go 6-6.
If you order a cinnamon crunch, sesame seed or onion bagel, for example, and have it sliced traditionally, the bottom part has none of the flavoring. Bread sliced allows you to enjoy the flavor with every bite.
My opinion-when the NFL allowed the Rams move from a region offering almost $500MM in public funds to build a 100% privately financed facility, they told every city in America “We don’t need your money. We can pay for it ourselves.” Good for KC people.
So Carlos Martinez has an 11 game scoreless streak end, but still leads the N.L. in saves since the All Star Break (18)...blows a save in Chicago and the
@Cardinals
have a closer crisis? Really? I hope we're just prisoners of the moment.
Because the '86 Blues were down 5-2 midway through the 3rd, there wasn't as much drama in the Monday Night Miracle as tonight. From start to finish, this might be the best Blues game ever.
I just re-watched last night's
@StLouisBlues
game, and in the last 10:56, Winnipeg had thirty seconds of offensive zone possession time. What a clinic by the Blues.
The Missouri Supreme Court has denied the NFL's writ requesting many owners/employees in the STL/STL County/RSA lawsuit against the NFL, meaning all 85 defendants named are included. Case will move forward in STL with every owner. League/owners now must provide discovery.
The Missouri Supreme Court has denied the NFL's writ to prevent access to phone records. This allows STL/STL County/RSA to access NFL phone records during Rams relocation, but not necessarily texts. Apparently you need the phone for texts (Which is why Brady destroyed his).
Paul Goldschmidt has been phenomenal in 2022, .339/.420/.637. 33 HR, 105 RBI, projected 41-131.
Albert Pujols’ 12 years with the Cardinals. .327/.418/.614. STL averages, 38 HR, 114 RBI.
A hearty welcome to St. Louis to Kevin Demoff, who will be testifying at some point during the next two weeks at the Carnahan Courthouse in Reggie Bush's suit against St. Louis, the St. Louis CVC and the Rams. Enjoy our city!
I'm going to do an real early show on

At first blush, I think it takes some haughtiness to say "I'm tired of being on wild card teams," and then with the team 1.5 games out of the division lead, willingly miss two important games in a race that's bound to be close.

. Outstanding team guy. Blues have points in five of his six starts. November 2.39 GAA, .926 save pct. Monster win tonight. No reason the Blues should have won, except for him.
This is tragic. There wasn't a better person than Bob Plager. Took the time to teach a kid who THOUGHT he knew hockey, about hockey. As nice, caring, generous and FUNNY as anyone I ever met. One of a kind.
Judge McGraugh COMPLETELY denies NFL request for summary judgement. A rout. Pretrial work continues. Personal opinion as a layman...if I'm a NFL attorney, I'm telling my clients we need to make a strong, compelling settlement offer.

I’ve written and rewritten this countless times. Even though I’ve been behind a microphone for three decades, I feel this is the most important message I’ve conveyed. Thanks for your support, love and understanding.

News from STL/NFL lawsuit. About 40 deposition notices send to league (Goodell, Grubman), each team, including Kroenke and Demoff. STL lawyers hope to have depositions done between September and the end of the year. Feeling is good about winning the suit. Should be fun.
In May of 2019 when the Cards visited Atlanta, our broadcasters were obviously distracted by the Blues-Sharks NHL conference final. Down the hall, so was Chip...cheering the Blues on as intensely as anyone.
Math update: If the Cardinals go 5-5 in their last 10 games, Philadelphia would have to go 9-0 to tie. Cards playing .500 would eliminate Reds and Padres.
