Throwin' Deli Meat - KC fades in Denver, Mizzou Humbles the Hogs, SLU-MIZ in STL, CITY Hopes to Rebound, Blues Remain ... Mid
Mizzou handled the Hogs 34-10 in Fayetteville, Ahmad Hardy is back (three carries, including a 37-yarder), and now Texas comes to COMO on Saturday at 11 a.m. — Mizzou a 2.5-point favorite with the Longhorns banged up. Three of Mizzou's last four are at home. Then Illinois cancels its home-and-home with Mizzou in favor of two games with Notre Dame, the SEC's circle of doom makes a "good win" impossible to judge, the first CFP rankings have Alabama ahead of a Tennessee team that throttled them, and Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek chairs the committee. Plus Mike Norvell is out at Florida State, Brian Kelly is interested, and everybody wants a coach "at a discount rate."In the NFL, the Chiefs blow a 24-13 third-quarter lead in Denver — the Kansas City Star on why they won't run a quarterback sneak, a pass rush that doesn't exist, and Spagnuolo's defense getting picked apart. Lamar Jackson is out for the season in Baltimore, the Ravens trade for Jacoby Brissett, Diego Pavia wouldn't take their call ("Baltimore lost its golden ticket"), Shedeur Sanders starts for Cleveland on Sunday, and the Chargers have forgotten how to play football — with a Rams player saying the opposing quarterback was out there "throwing deli meat."After the break: CITY's fourth straight league loss, 1-0 to San Diego, and the seven-games-in-21-days grind catching up — but Bürki and Mattan are back practicing, and Saturday is Decision Day in Houston with home-field advantage in Round One on the line. Navarro needs one more for MLS history: double-digit goals for two teams in one season. The Blues sit 7-7-1, Snuggerud has five goals in his last six, Broberg is playing No. 1 defenseman minutes — and the remixed black jerseys are, in the guys' words, horrible.College hoops is back: SLU–Mizzou on Friday night in St. Louis, Dennis Gates himself initiated the scheduling, and Robbie Avila's eligibility hearing ran Wednesday — 1 hour 50 minutes, Avila testifying for 45, the NCAA arguing a verbal Lakers contract, and the judge noting the Class of 2022 is "left in no man's land." If Avila plays 25 to 32 minutes, Doug says the Billikens win. Plus Notre Dame and Villanova in Rome (private Mass with the Pope, cooking classes), East Texas A&M 68, Oklahoma 64 at Lloyd Noble, and Arizona–UCLA down to the wire.Last Call: Joe on MACtion and a 6'10", 327-pound Ball State tackle; Doug on LIV Golf's going-out-of-business sale and Jon Rahm wanting back on the PGA Tour; Tom on the Cardinals — Joel McKeithan hired as hitting coach, Randy Flores gone to Houston as Astros GM, Albert Pujols and Daniel Descalso interviewing for the Astros' manager job, and Tai Peete and Tekoah Roby named Arizona Fall League All-Stars. And Ron closes with Johns Hopkins 31, Muhlenberg 28 — won on a 39-yard fair catch free kick with two seconds left, a rule that dates to 1876. The St. Louis Sportists — occasionally smart, always irreverent. Sponsored by 1st Coast Steel Buildings (1stcoaststeel.com) and Black Dog Consulting LLC.

I've Seen Pillow Fighting - Chiefs Stumble in Seattle, CITY Wins the Cup, Hardy Practicing for Mizzou
It's all Ava, all the time tonight — Ron, Joe and Doug — and the docket is loaded.Quick hits first: Jay-Z is playing the Super Bowl halftime show, which means Joe will be in the kitchen; 47 young men across the country still don't know if they'll get to play for their NCAA Division I basketball team next week; and SLU gets Robbie Avila back, at least for the first game. Then college football: Mizzou takes a bye week but may regain a key player for the stretch run, a wild upset weekend (UCF over No. 2 BYU, Cincinnati over No. 8 Texas Tech, South Carolina over No. 11 Tennessee, Minnesota over No. 14 Iowa, Texas over Ole Miss), and the preseason ranked teams that have tumbled out — Oregon's train wreck chief among them.In the NFL, the Chiefs are humbled in Seattle on Sunday night — Mahomes throwing what looks like a medicine ball, Worthy with three catches for 11 yards, the Butker yips, and a Tyreek Hill return that probably isn't happening — plus the Jeff Wilkins story from the Greatest Show on Turf. Then the upside-down league: the Giants, Browns and Vikings in first place, just like we all expected; Dallas as division favorite, damning with faint praise; Sirianni's seat in Philadelphia; the 49ers losing at Atlanta in a "poisonous snake game"; and Kirk Cousins on borrowed time with the Raiders.After the break: CITY wins the U.S. Open Cup, 5-3 on penalties in Columbus, captain Roman Bürki leaving on a stretcher — and the banner goes up Wednesday night against Portland, with San Diego on Saturday and Houston on November 7 before the playoffs. The Blues are mid at 5-5-1, having scored 35 goals and given up 35. And the World Series, live during the show: Milwaukee going for its eighth straight postseason win, Whiteyball vs. three-true-outcome baseball, the '76 Big Red Machine and the '82 Brewers' five Hall of Famers, the salary-cap argument the Brewers keep demolishing, and a lockout warning for a sport with ratings up. Plus Cardinals minor leaguers tearing up the fall league.Last Call: Joe on college basketball tipping off (Notre Dame–Villanova in Rome, No. 14 Miami vs. No. 1 Florida, Mizzou–SLU on November 6), Doug on Wilt Chamberlain — who never fouled out of an NBA or NCAA game, and got two rules changed because of him — and breakfast with the WNBA, an 11:30 a.m. Thursday finals game in Atlanta. Blue Horseshoe's Corner follows as its own pod in the next day.The St. Louis Sportists — occasionally smart, always irreverent.

BONUS - Blue Horseshoe Loves Baylor at Kansas and Warns America Off One Game Entirely - Picks for Five College Games and Five Pro Games
Blue Horseshoe rides again! Joe Spurlin deals this week's ten — five college, five pro — with Doug Lansdown (wearing blue), Keith Farroll, and Ron Cook in the corner.Joe opens with a theory: last week's upset storm was the SEC's revenge for getting no primetime games. Then the picks: LSU gives 7.5 at Auburn and the panel splits down the middle over the hook; Baylor at Kansas is played for Dr. Kim — with 14 straight Baylor wins, a Jayhawk door projector courtesy of Jamie Kay, and Joe volunteering that he'd take Lawrence High School plus the points. Oregon's first trip to Champaign since 1993 gets declared a poisonous snake ("This dog has fleas — do not wager on this game"), and everyone takes Burt Bielema and the points anyway. Ole Miss at Texas and #14 Houston at #10 Utah split 2–2, with an Arch Manning crowd-watch in Austin and Willie Fritz love in Salt Lake.In the pros: the Steelers take Paris ("My first call was Interpol as the winner"), the Giants visit a Houston team that's 0-3 at home (Cam Skattebo is treating the football like a live grenade, and Ron's fantasy loss to his own wife gets entered into evidence), the Niners are a unanimous road pick in Atlanta, Joe Burrow and the Bengals sweep Baltimore, and the whole panel — men who picked Kansas City to go .500 — jumps on the Chiefs bandwagon at Seattle. Plus a masterclass from Ron on why the spread is not a prediction.As always: these picks are for entertainment purposes only, and should not be the basis of any actual wager. If you believe you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.- 00:00 — Blue Horseshoe rides again: Doug (wearing blue), Keith, and the disclaimer- 01:07 — Joe's theory: the SEC was mad about primetime- 01:44 — LSU −7.5 at Auburn: the hook splits the panel- 03:06 — Baylor −2.5 at Kansas: this one's for Dr. Kim- 04:00 — The stat drop: 14 straight Baylor wins… and Lawrence High School- 05:25 — Oregon −8.5 at Illinois: first trip to Champaign since 1993- 07:05 — "This dog has fleas": the poison game — and they take the points anyway- 07:24 — Ole Miss at Texas −3.5: Arch watch in Austin- 09:15 — #14 Houston at #10 Utah −6.5: first visit since 1977- 10:33 — NFL time: a word about Ron's Super Bowl picks- 11:03 — Steelers −3 vs the Saints in Paris: Interpol was Ron's first call- 12:15 — Aaron Rodgers, 12 touchdowns and counting- 12:35 — Giants at Houston −9.5: Skattebo, live grenades, and a fantasy grievance- 14:15 — 49ers −3 at Atlanta: the split-personality Falcons- 15:39 — Bengals −1.5 at Baltimore: Burrow is due- 15:57 — Ron explains the spread (it's not a prediction, folks)- 16:52 — SNF: Chiefs at Seattle −2.5, a unanimous bandwagon- 17:45 — Christian Okoye trivia and the Rashee Rice question- 18:33 — Sign-off: good luck, entertainment only

Was He Still in His Tux? Mizzou Falls in Oxford, CITY Goes for a Trophy, The NFL Lives Dangerously
It's Trophy Night in St. Louis. CITY SC plays for the first cup in club history — the U.S. Open Cup Final in Columbus, live while we record.Mizzou goes to Oxford and leaves its offense in Columbia, managing three whole points, a missed 22-yard field goal (a "smother hook," per Doug) and a bye week of self-scouting. The SEC's Circle of Defeat makes playoff picking a nightmare, Michigan benches a $10 million quarterback whose agent had him considering the portal within six hours, and the NCAA wants a 24-team playoff that 82% of fans hate. In the NFL, the Chiefs dismantle the Chargers 31-6, the Saints and Steelers might need Kevlar in Paris, the Eagles have some explaining to do, and Diego Pavia has a UFL plan.After the break: Why a CITY win means a Concacaf berth, the 1988 Busch Seniors and a trophy won on a wedding day, the Blues bouncing back 2-1 in Winnipeg behind Snuggerud and Broberg, and Keith's devastating Jordan Kyrou trade audit. Then a World Series of firsts — Misiorowski vs. Rasmussen, two little-guy payrolls in the Fall Classic, and our picks (Brewers, Brewers… and Keith takes Tampa in seven). Golf at Norwood Hills, and a Last Call for the ages: Florida Man runs the gambling helpline, Doug bans the heart-hands celebration, Keith prices the NIL Top 5, and Ron explains why Jake Woodford gets a ring.P.S. — About that final: After we signed off at 0-0, CITY finished the job — scoreless through 120 minutes, then a 5-3 shootout win and the first trophy in club history. Captain Roman Bürki left on a stretcher in the 78th minute with a head injury; he was conscious and moving all extremities on the way to the hospital, and backup Ben Lundt came in cold to close it out. Champions, St. Louis. 🏆- 00:00 Trophy Night cold open — CITY plays for a cup, and the sponsors- 02:32 Mizzou leaves its offense in Oxford — three points and a smother hook- 07:33 The SEC Circle of Defeat and the 24-team playoff fight- 09:54 Michigan's QB change and the six-hour transfer portal- 16:22 Chiefs dismantle the Chargers, 31-6- 17:49 Jameis, J.J. and the Malik Nabers show in New York- 19:40 Saints–Steelers in Paris: Kevlar, anyone?- 20:31 The Eagles' medical mess- 22:31 Diego Pavia has a UFL plan- 23:22 Break — live look-in: 0-0 in the 20th minute in Columbus- 24:52 CITY SC: Trophy Night — the Open Cup Final, the Concacaf prize, and 1988's wedding-day winner- 29:11 Blues bounce back in Winnipeg — and Keith's Kyrou audit- 31:46 A World Series of firsts — Misiorowski vs. Rasmussen- 35:00 The picks: Doug and Joe take Milwaukee, Keith takes Tampa in 7- 37:43 Champions Tour golf at Norwood Hills- 39:55 Last Call — Florida Man runs the gambling helpline- 42:02 Doug's get-off-my-lawn: enough with the heart hands (+ Bob Huggins)- 44:24 Keith prices the NIL Top 5- 47:03 Ron's closer: Jake Woodford gets a ring- 48:07 Sign-off — still 0-0 at the half
