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!

Joe, Doug and Ron talk about MIzzou's upcoming game with Texas A&M and ponder what happens if the Tigers lose another QB? Is it wishbone time? They also look at the Mizzou record with the first playoff rankings out. Is there such a thing as a quality loss?

Elsewhere, the coaching carousel continues to spin and Hugh Freeze cancels a standing tee time. U-Mass is 0-9 and Joe says they are worse than their record indicates. Dabo Swinney is having a very interesting Fall and Indiana has not regressed to the mean (they would invite you to Google it).

The Chiefs have a rough trip to upstate New York. They're still the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, yet they would not make the playoffs if they began today. It's all in the script. The Steelers keep winning by playing "varsity football." Blue Horseshoe leads the team through the college and pro picks for the week and, well, improvement is needed.

It's getting late early for the St. Louis Blues and giving up five goals per game is not a way to improve their situation. The World Series was a classic and America was watching.

It's college basketball season and Doug does his best to start an international incident. We apologize to any of our Belarus friends. All this and a reminder that a late-night "FedEx delivery" may end badly on this week's edition of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The entire gang is back together to review the Mizzou loss in Nashville to Vanderbilt. Is the Pribula era over in Columbia or just taking a pause to recover? Tom's pre-season prediction of the dismissal of Brian Kelley at LSU comes to pass, and the governor of Louisiana is involved in picking a replacement. Huey Long would be proud.

The Chiefs deliver a second-consecutive home win and now travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Lamar Jackson returns for the Ravens, and all may not be lost for Joe and Ron's pre-season Super Bowl pick.

Blue Horseshoe leads the team through five college games and five pro games and a strong bias against Atlanta is revealed.

The St. Louis Blues are a factory of sadness, and the goaltending is a primary culprit. Can things get worse? Never say never.

An entertaining World Series is unfolding, and the Dodgers and their ample resources are hanging on as the teams head back to Toronto. All of this and more, including a surprising case of chasing gambling losses on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
