  • There Will Be a Streaker
    Nov 26 2025

    Happy Thanksgiving from The St. Louis Sportists! Mizzou fails yet again to take down a ranked opponent. Do they have gas left in the tank to take down the Razorbacks this weekend? And How Long will Joe and his family brave the elements and possible streakers?

    Illinois gets jumped in Wisconsin and the coaching carousel prepares for madness as the Lane Kiffin decision approaches. And just when can we believe when a coaching move is official?

    The Chiefs win a must-win game against the Colts and have a quick turnaround to take on the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Are the Lions the Chiefs of the NFC?

    Blue Horseshoe takes the gang through five college and five pro games (for recreational purposes only) and the slate of games basically runs from Thursday morning through Monday night.

    The Blues show few signs of improvement at the quarter mark of the season. Is it time for a change-of-scenery deal for a player once thought to be a cornerstone for the future?

    The Cardinals say so long Sonny Gray and ship their number one starter to Boston, but receive shockingly promising prospects in return. The Brendan Donnovan market is warmer than usual and Ryan Helsley's agent gets credit for creativity.

    All of this plus college hoops "Feast Week," Billiken soccer success and the dangerous nature of kangaroos on this week's action-packed edition of The St. Louis Sportists podcast.

  • Like He's Telling You a Secret
    Nov 21 2025

    In this episode of the St. Louis Sportists Podcast, Joe, Doug, and Tom prepare for Mizzou's trip to Norman, which hasn't yielded the desired result since 1966. Who will take the snaps at QB for the Tigers?

    One decision from Lane Kiffin could start the college football coaching carousel spinning wildly. Will Drink stay or go? What about Arkansas? It's madness!

    The Chiefs biff in Denver, but may not drop another contest in the regular season. Jameis has a secret and will Shedeur time be prime time? Aaron Rodgers is expected to emerge from the Mudhut fully healed and the Browns have had LOTS of kickers and quarterbacks.

    The gang picks five college and five pro games including Missouri's "other" 7-3 team, the Missouri State Bears. The Blues continue to find new floors and may be looking at a sell-off sooner rather than later.

    Brendan Donnovan is sought after on the trade market, but may not reap a fantastic return. The good news is a surprisingly good TV deal means that you'll be able to watch him play wherever he winds up.

    All this and a shout-out to KMOX at 100 and the potential for arson in Oxford on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

  • We Strong Then
    Nov 13 2025

    The Sportists celebrate one year of podcasting magic by revisiting the Texas A&M visit to Columbia. Is it a bad thing when the defense is calling out your plays before the snap? If Drink goes elsewhere, will he take talented Tigers with him?

    Suddenly, Mizzou isn't the only 6-3 BCS team in Missouri -- hello Missouri State! And, it's officially a mess in Baton Rouge as Bryan Kelly and LSU are having a less-than-amicable parting.

    The third-place Chiefs (yes, third!) head to Denver for a crucial AFC West matchup and Blue Horseshoe leads the gang through five college and five NFL picks. Trap games and steel buildings are involved.

    The Blues are better, but not good and the condensed NHL schedule isn't helping. But the guys agree that Monty is the right coach for the job.

    The hammer comes down on two Cleveland pitchers in the MLB edition of "The 2025 Gambling Scandal." The Cardinals are open for business at the Winter Meetings with some surprising names surfacing.

    All of this and early season college hoops and eager anticipation for a return to action for Jameis Winston. The Sportists thank YOU for being part of season one ... and hopefully many more!
