Ron Cook and Joe Spurlin discuss a variety of sports topics, including updates on Mizzou and Illinois scheduling, the Tampa Bay Rays' playoff stadium concerns, and a mid-season review of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards have shown resilience with 20 comeback wins - is a West County resident's late game superstition playing a role?

They also delve into trade deadline strategies for the Cardinals, discuss LSU's College World Series victory, and check in with Steve Spurrier for some thoughts on the next generation of Manning quarterbacks and Texas football.

When is a stadium deadline not a deadline? Maybe when it can be extended indefinitely, as is the case in Kansas City. Jim Pendergrass receives more accolades and St. Louis CITY still has a long road ahead. Aaron Rodgers is "pretty sure" this is his final season and we're just as confident you'll enjoy this episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast.

Keith, Jason, and Ron discuss the inconsistent performance of the St. Louis Cardinals - are they the May version or was that just a mirage? Does the WNBA need to do a better job protecting Caitlin Clark? A new feature looks wrap up "loose ends." It's the College World Series in Omaha and it has LSU looking formidable on the field and in the Jell-O Shot Challenge. Klaus comes alive for St. Louis City SC, but it's only enough for yet another draw. The Florida Panthers are unstoppable, and Jason plans a historic trip to the horseshoe ... in a Longhorn jersey.

Joe, Doug and Ron celebrate The St. Louis Sportists reaching the 1,000-follower milestone by considering several burning questions. What to make of the St. Louis Cardinals and their many positive pieces that have yet to form a complete puzzle?

We finally have White Smoke from Aaron Rogers' mud hut and money for the Chiefs to stay in Missouri is a virtual certainty. Does that settle where the Chiefs will play home games in the future? Not so fast, my friend. The Hunt Family must consider all options.

The US Open goes to Oakmont where an actual golfer may be lost in the rough and there's no guarantee the winner will be under par. The NCAA clarifies NIL – at least that’s all settled, and challenges are coming to college basketball to (somehow) improve the pace of play. And CITY SC is better but has a long way to go.

Join us for an episode that will fly by without causing fatigue-related issues.
