What are we going to do with ourselves this weekend, people of St. Louis? We have no Tigers to provide a local football fix, the baseball season is effectively over for the Cardinals and watching Trent Green sacrifice his life on Sunday might not make for good television.
One thing that will never let you down though is the Tailgate. If you're bored at home and need a local sports fix, just head over here and check out the Hangover for the week that was. Trent would want you to.
Monday:
The Chiefs and Rams are waging quite the battle to determine who the NFL's worst team is. If nothing else, it's an intriguing subplot on Sundays
No doubt sensing the challenge, the Rams came out fired up to make a statement about who was worse. They gave up a field goal on the opening drive and then fumbled the ball back to Seattle on their first offensive possession. Minutes later a guy named Michael Bumpus caught a touchdown pass to make it 10-0 Seahawks.
Tuesday:
Rams Park is beginning to look a lot like an emotional movie we've all seen...
If Bernie failed to mention Linehan's wife, an outsider with no knowledge of football could argue Miklasz was talking about a dying dog - owned by Rosenbloom. Yes, Old Yeller Snydrome has taken over Rams Park.
Wednesday: It's always a shock to the system when the owner of the New York Yankees is crying for sympathy, and using the Cardinals as his reason why...
The Yankees' last championship team (2000) won 87 games, yet first in the AL East, and went on the eventually win the World Series. Meanwhile, four teams had better records and the 90-win Indians in the AL Central missed the playoffs entirely. Forget about that one, Hank.
Thursday:
We're not sure if having no Mizzou football this weekend will weaken or strenghten our man-crush on the Tigers QB...
Look at it this way, if he kept us this pace through the Big 12 Championship Game, Chase Daniel would end the 2008 season with 4,589 yards completing 325-429 attempts, 39 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Not a bad season. With that type of performance through the first four games this season, it's not a surprise that Daniel has taken a strong hold atop the annual Heisman trophy rankings.
