The Cardinals practice addition by subtraction at the trade deadline and welcome promising prospects to the system. Alec Burleson has a night to remember in the Bronx despite the rest of the team chasing some questionable pitches.

Football is back and Patrick Mahomes is still ranked “top tier” by one national publication. One quarterback’s father visits his head coach – in the NFL, not high school. We ask Joe and Doug how to handle this situation. And Aaron Rodgers goes on a trip of his own.

Mizzou football comes in at 25 in the Coaches poll, but the schedule is filled with top 10 teams. A left-handed quarterback and an unfortunate off-season injury cloud the outlook even more. Joe explains the fifth year of eligibility granted to the class of 2022 which may have changed by the time you listen.

St. Louis CITY continues the unbeaten streak but faces a major loss. Could a state champion men’s high school team take down the WNBA champions? And which ball would they use? Get ready for Lebron’s Last Dance more on the future of LIV and a chance to be offensive coordinator for a day on this week’s episode of the St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The fortunes of the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals have taken a dark turn since the All-Star Break as the team dips under the .500 mark for the first time this season. Perhaps a .202 team batting average since early July is partially to blame. Have the metrics caught up with the Cardinals?

The trade deadline is approaching – are there only two untouchable Cardinals? And how could Shohei Ohtani not being “100 percent” impact the Tarik Skubal market? The Yankees reveal their Costanza bobblehead for 2026, and it may make you hungry.

Patrick Mahomes is cleared to resume football activities and may be back on week one of the NFL season. And the Bills set back NFL fashion with their new, unfortunate special occasion uniforms.

Mizzou fans feel disrespected by being ranked number 10 in the SEC pre-season rankings, but who would they move ahead of? Is a union coming to college football? And how will that Arizona State equipment truck make it to London?

All of this plus the NBA to the STL, CITY makes big moves in the standings and on the pitch, football is nearly back and the misadventures of a late-night scooter enthusiast on this week’s episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

Are the Cardinals recreating post-all-star swoon that took them out of playoff contention last year? Or will they rally as they have all year and remain in the National League Wild Card chase? Kyle Leahy has emerged as a reliable starter now that he is improving against the opposing lineup for a third time, but are there enough other solid starting pitching options?

The trade deadline is days away. Who will stay and who will go for the Cardinals? The Boston Red Sox are red hot, and Bobby Witt Jr. makes his first trip to the injured list.

The Open Championship is steeped in controversy, and the winner isn’t exactly a household name. Rory McIlroy is speaking freely about … anything he wants.

The 2026 World Cup concludes with a win for Indiana, or Spain if you prefer. One Sportist is already missing having an afternoon soccer match to view.

SEC media days are back, and Coach Drink has jokes. He also provides an update on Ahmad Hardy, which is mostly promising. And the SEC Commissioner again brings up breaking away from the rest of college football. What would Gordon Gekko say?

All this plus St. Louis CITY SC is winning matches and signing players, what is the WNBA thinking regarding marketing and is Mizzou a football or basketball school on this week’s episode of the St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

Jordan Walker announces his presence with authority and introduces himself to Major League Baseball on Monday. For the Cardinals – the record is the same as it was at this point last season – is the outlook for the rest of the season the same? And is Dustin May’s trade value on the decline at a very inopportune time?

Speaking of Mr. Walker, at what point is a contract extension appropriate? The team has a solid core with help on the way which leads to a feeling of an ascending franchise.

Notre Dame – or Argentina – advances to the World Cup final in an unmistakably Notre Dame fashion, winning late. Spain is waiting. And France and England will still play, just not in the match they anticipated.

The Open Championship is underway, and our golf expert sends in his preview. Will the “baked” conditions at Royal Birkdale lead to an unusual Open?

All this plus can YOU make a penalty kick and does Coach Drink practice his media day material in front of his kids on this week’s action-packed episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
