    NFL black head coaching fraternity grows to seven - St. Louis American

    When the NFL season regular season ended on January 1, there were six open head coaching positions.

    Many Cardinals fans show Dexter Fowler St. Louis’ ugly side

    The second I read Dexter Fowler’s comment on President Trump’s proposed travel ban, I knew he would get his first real taste of his new town. Fowler’s wife, Aliya, is from Iran and moved here with her parents at the age of 5. She is an American citizen, just as American as Trump. Fowler was […]

    I’ve been to Bellerive Country Cub all of one time in my life. Ozzie Smith held a press conference there the morning after his selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame was announced in 2002. I wish I returned on Sunday for the final round of the 100th PGA Championship. As Tiger Woods sank a […]

    Bubba Wallace isn’t all on board with FBI explanation of ‘noose’ fo...

    The FBI concluded swiftly that a rope fashioned as a noose in racer Bubba Wallace’s garage stall was a “door pull,” and not and intentional act of hate directed at the driver. The “I told you so,” crowd is in full glory and many of its members aren’t hiding their racist attitudes. Unfortunately, Wallace has […]

    Cards have the cash to sign Jason Heyward - St. Louis American

    If the St. Louis Cardinals do not re-sign free agent right fielder Jason Heyward, the tired mantra of “the franchise could not afford him” will be trotted out once again. The Cardinals can afford to sign Heyward, free-agent pitcher David Price and another star if its owners decided to part with the dollars. Cards’ Chairman […]
