About Brian »

Brian McDowell used to be a comedian. Now, he devotes himself to committing a vicious form of self-punishment by watching all of both the Cardinals and the Rams games and writing about them for free on the Internet. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. He lives alone in a large concrete bunker just south of St. Louis, Missouri.

Hey,
Cardinals look poised to take a crack at another World Series. In fact I have come up with a Joe Maddonesque slogan 2009 = 2006

This is the first, and last, time I will ever do this….

My article below is on a relatively obscure topic….

It’s interesting and well-written…But, because it’s about boxing, a deceased former great boxer at that, it isn’t garnering much attention.

As I boxing fan, I think you may enjoy this….

Genuinely apologize for this solicitation….Like I said, first and last time….

Hey Brian,

Inspired by the 2008 Mariners season, in which they became the first team in history to lose 100 games with a $100 million payroll, I decided to go on a mission. I put together the most expensive team of under performers that I could come up with, with a goal of easily surpassing 100 million dollars. I'd appreciate it if you took a look, thanks!
