About

I'm a Missouri resident that covers the St. Louis Rams and Cardinals, but primarily the Rams. I started my sports writing with my personal site STLsport (http://STLsport.blogspot.com), which is now connected with Yard Barker.

I also write here, for Bleacher Report as a Rams Featured Columnist, and I am the primary writer for RamsChronicle.com.

You can contact me with any questions via e-mail at STLsportBlog@gmail.com.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Ray Lankford, Albert Pujols, Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt, Kurt Warner

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    St. Louis Rams and Cardinals, Mizzou Tigers

  • Favorite Coaches

    Dick Vermeil, Rex Ryan (sue me)

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Isaac Bruce's 73-yard TD reception in Super Bowl 34, Wainwright strikes out Brandon Inge to win the '06 World Series, Pujols' '05 NLCS walk off homer against Houston, Pujols' three-HR game in 2011 WS, David Freese's Game 6 Walkoff In 2011 WS...actually all of Game 6.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Rams vs Packers 2001 Divisional Playoff game. Rams won 45-17, and the dome noise forced 6 interceptions out of Favre.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    It is easily Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays was great, but Ruth is a folklore legend.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas, because I hate the 49er's

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan is bigger than the NBA itself, so he gets the benefit of the doubt.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Who cares?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Tennis? Really?

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus is looking to have the better image right now, so I'll go with him.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    I only follow real sports.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    SEC

    Alright, sorry about that Steven, we've been slaaaamed the past couple days. Here's the feedback: "I just made two edits: it's overpaid, not overpayed; and all numbers should be spelled out when beginning a sentence with such. AK"

    North Carolina is a lot more progressive than SC. North Carolina has Pro Sports and it is a great State for business, 3rd on Forbes list. SC is more of a laid back vacation State. Myrtle beach is great, what part of SC were you in?

    Yeah, I'm sure Torry is a huge NASCAR fan. And I have respect for Earnhardt, I just don't think he should be considered an athlete. The same arguments NASCAR fans use to sell their hobby as a sport is the same set of arguments cheerleaders use to convince people cheerleading is sport.

    And if North Carolina is anything like South Carolina, then I'll gladly accept your lifetime ban.
