Willson Contreras wrapped up his third season in St. Louis on Monday night. In light of the — however slight — possibility that he’s played his last game as a Cardinal, worth noting that he has more than held up his end of the free agent bargain:

Contreras conversion to first base has been one of Cardinals few highlights
But he’s been shutdown with an injury as the team limps toward it’s weekend finale.

This is awesome, kudos to the TCU marketing department. In fairness, highlighting that Cowherd and Bayless are idiots is a low bar.....

First DVR Monday of 2025 is up. What did we learn about the rest of the Hawkeyes not wearing #11?

Leistikow's DVR Monday: Mark Gronowski aside, what did we learn in Iowa football's opener?
Going back at the film from Iowa's 34-7 win vs. Albany, the defense showed some impressive signs. Also, how did the explosive plays turn out?

I've been a #Hawkeyes fan for 50 years, and a grad for 37...quite sure I've never enjoyed, or cheered harder for a Hawkeye athlete, than Jay Higgins. Congratulations young man, you did it!

Sources informed Matt Zenitz and I that Iowa WR Reece Vander Zee sustained a freak foot injury and is expected to miss a month. Vander Zee was a popular breakout candidate following a strong offseason and fall camp:

When I joined NPR almost 30 yrs ago as a complete outsider with no qualifications other than being a lifelong fan, nobody welcomed me more avidly and kindly than Susan. She loved what we were trying to do, and helped us do it.

Just saw the Ryne Sandberg news. So sad.

Have to share my favorite Sandberg story, about this picture I took of him with Bill Murray in the hallway just outside the clubhouse shortly after the Cubs broke their World Series curse with a G7 win in Cleveland.

My Redbird Review: the #STLCards set up the 2025 season as a full “runway” opportunity for their younger players. At the break, here’s my Runway Report.

With the ‘25 Cardinals, nothing is as important as the “Runway” season and the discoveries the Redbirds may have made so far in their stated goal of giving extensive opportunities to younger players.

Every year some players go undrafted, only to play their way onto a roster and eventually carve out respectable NBA careers. For me, best players who went unselected this year:

Hunter Sallis (huge whiff not getting picked)
Jaxson Robinson
David Joplin
Grant Nelson
Payton Sandfort
Keshon Gilbert

Keeler: Broncos’ Riley Moss on Jahdae Barron, Sean Payton, Ted Lasso: “No one is going to outrun me”
If Ted Lasso were a cornerback, he would be Riley Moss. A sword of steel and stubborn, sheathed in a smile. The kind of serial killer you bring home to Mom and Dad.

Nothing going on is that hard to understand as long as someone with some credibility has the desire to explain it and the space to do so and I’m glad this NBC station did this for their viewers
