Is this thing on? Just wanted to say THANK YOU to @MizzouHoops and @SaintLouisMBB for tipping off again in college hoops. So rarely in college sports these days does common sense prevail. Bravo! “It’ll never happen” crowd gave up on it. The stubborn side kept hollering and won!

Watching tonight's Mizzou game after last night's Billikens game should have required a surgeon general's warning

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

Congrats to Seattle Mariners. Brendan Donovan is a heck of a player and the kind of teammate who makes everybody better. He’s also a dedicated difference maker for U.S. veterans. Good luck to him.

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

Cool to see BJC Health’s continued support of teams as its reach continues to expand. Should make for some more fun with City SC, too.

[Sporting Kansas City @SportingKC]

Woohoo!🎉 We look forward to teaming up on impactful initiatives that will support @saintlukeskc’s patients and staff as well as our players and fans as we approach an incredibly exciting year for our sport and our region in 2026!

Random thought: Why don’t performers pick holiday songs for their appearances in Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade? It’s so awkward when you see them singing about “getting drunk of vodka and cranberry” surrounded by elves and marching bands 🤣

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

Great to see commitment #Mizzou and @CoachDrinkwitz have to growing and building together. Increasingly rare and so refreshing. Also: Bob Blitz joining curators continues to pay dividends. M-I-Z!

Amazing things happen every day at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Happy Thanksgiving!

A local firefighter is finally feeling good on the job again, no longer worrying about his footing when duty calls.

Another @BJC_HealthCare success story.

Meet Russ.

(And thank you to all our first responders out there!)

Hey #STLBlues fans, here is a great Christmas gift idea. With JT, you know it’s gold.

Now available for pre-order! I’ve written a history of the Blues, just in time for hockey season. Official release date is Oct. 7, but you can order now by going to https://t.co/E0y4YYEcOs, and typing The Franchise:St. Louis Blues in the search field.

Two active MLB managers have managed as many games as Mike Shildt with a better winning percentage. One has the payroll of the Dodgers behind him. The other, the Yankees. Cap tip, Shildty.

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

The Brewers overcome crippling injuries, star manager departing, front office poaches, payroll gap, anything, everything. And it’s not new. Cap, tipped.

Gordo! What a legend. Proud to call the OG Antler and steady, wise columnist a friend. I benefited from his wisdom and advice too many times to count. Congrats, @gordoszone! And thank you.

[Jim Thomas @jthom1]

Gordo's farewell column. Spoiler alert. . .Yes, there is a Doink the Clown reference. . . .

@AndSuchAndSuchA Thanks for the kind words. Enjoying the new gig but do miss interacting with readers. Thank you.

Mizzou and Kansas fans the day after both teams get the immediate March Madness bounce

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

@JCWOtweet @CoachLoop Thanks, man. Rarely check this thing to be honest, but Mizzou pulls me in 🤣

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

Nice to hear @CoachLoop mentioned on broadcast of #Mizzou game as these Tiger running backs tear it up. What he’s done at MU is remarkable. One of the nation’s best position coaches! Check the stats.

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

@kfbcsportszone @wyo_mbb @Larrydn22 @wyo_football Three legends! Hope you guys are all doing great.

[Ben Frederickson @Ben_Fred]

Heartbreaking news. Praying for Ben’s family and his many friends in CoMo and beyond. Ben was a true pro and rare gem in that he maintained an optimistic and uplifting positivity in a sports world that is often cynical. I hope CoMo one day opens an ice rink with his name on it.
