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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
