@JimmyTraina A quality take right there

“It Takes Two” is truly iconic, but I hate when people sleep on “Joy and Pain.”

@HixxinSoulard @stlouisbiz Maybe the path to endless quotes in STL is just find your negative narrative and hammer it repeatedly.

@stlouisbiz Ness quoted here too? Likely!!

The city lost 23,205 residents from 2020 to 2025, a faster rate than the previous decade. A demographer warns the city may soon face natural population decline. bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2…

@OMRebel4 @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge He averaged 12 yards a carry that game. Why wouldn’t you feed him? And any comment about Mizzou force feeding Hardy the ball when Lacy had 300 carries and Ole Miss’ next highest RB had 33 is silly. Lacy is great. Hardy was better last year. And Roberts is a monster too

@jbacott @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge I watched that game. They force fed him the ball in the 2nd half to run his stats up. Drinkwitz said it😂

My 2026 National Running Back Power Rankings. Who will be the best RB in college football this year?

@OMRebel4 @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge He had 25 carries in that game. He didn’t have 30 carries in any game. And he had 300 yards. He’s the reason it was a blowout. Also: It was not a 42 point blowout, it was 22. Lacy played two more games and still couldn’t catch him in yards.

@Wrandon8alker @jbacott @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge He had 30+ carries in a 42 point blowout against ms state… late in the season

@OMRebel4 @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge I mean, he averaged almost a yard and a half more per carry. That’s pretty simple math

@jbacott @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge Wrong.

@OMRebel4 @Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge Gains yards when they hand him the football.

@Wrandon8alker @jenkins_le33203 @CF_Budge Based on what? Name one thing Ahmad Hardy does better than Kewan

@HixxinSoulard South City alleys were Facebook marketplace before Facebook marketplace. Want to get rid of something that still has some measure of value? Set it in the alley and it will be gone in an hour.

I legit love alleys

@RE_Ari18 With 4 5-yr options with one time 5% bumps. Smells like a 6 cap.

@jbacott It's even dumber than that. Most of these leases are flat for 5 years so the rent actually doesn't go up!

There are groups buying unanchored strips with mid-credit tenants at 6% caps, some even lower. This is below the cost of debt. I'm a dinosaur in this space. There used to be a 300bps spread, debt vs cap rate. I don't see how these people can make money.

@HixxinSoulard NFL stadiums are easily the worst offenders. Larger, more expensive, way too much parking, 1/10th of the event dates.

@jbacott I don't wholly disagree there and why - as an urbanist - I am an advocate of downtown MLB stadiums to support existing downtown businesses, improving a DT's foot traffic/vibrancy. Just limit the socialism.

Per usual, sports biz stats are utter BS put together by (NFL in this case) PR people to overstate the economic value of the sport.

@HixxinSoulard The only one that might have a case is baseball given the sheer number of games each year.

Be that as it may, it's legit fun and cool to have the NFL draft in *your* town.

@dgoldschmidt @CitySceneSTL I lived in the city for 16 years and zero of those things happened. No one I knew was murdered, no one I knew was carjacked, my house was never touched, no one stole my catalytic converters. Not disputing your experience, just figured fair to offer up a counter.

Umm... I live in the city. I am from Chicago. Since 2014, when we moved to St. Louis, the following has happened: - My son was carjacked and kidnapped at gunpoint. - My house was broken into while I was in it. - My car was stolen. - My son's ex-girlfriend was murdered around the corner. - I've had 3 catalytic converters stolen. - Two of my neighbors homes were broken into - and then the women were sodomized. Beautiful city, gorgeous building stock, great parks - and an outrageous crime problem. The negative narrative about St. Louis is real and deserved.

I’ve never seen people hate on a City as much as St. Louis, especially hated on by “locals”. And by “locals”, I mean those West County and St. Charles County residents who wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the City but would love for the City to be completely leveled.

@Dan_from_wntzvl @MattSebek @JoeSportsFan Career highlight

@MattSebek I'll never forget the awkward silence on the @JoeSportsFan podcast when you guys mentioned his cameo in The Scout

As a boy that grew up watching 1985’s “Heck of a Year” and 1987’s “That’s a Winner” on repeat, it meant a lot to have Ozzie at the park for 80’s Night. Absolute legend and lover of all things St. Louis. ❤️

@RE_Ari18 They all act like they discovered fire.

"Reducing exposure to large big-box "anchor" stores that carry higher vacancy risks." If only there was company that started orienting itself away from this risk 14 years ago....

@RE_Ari18 Thats a valid reason for a price adjustment all day.

Hypothetical: Seller provided rent roll says tenant is paying $4K per month and you price a deal based on that assumption. You go under contract and read the lease. Rent is actually $3K per month. You ask for a price reduction. Would you consider this a "Retrade?" @realEstateTrent

@wakeupbarstool @TBob53 Everyone that has studied the American mullet knows that Dwayne Schintzius is the standard in the non-hockey category. Hockey was on a different level.

Today on questions from a 3rd grader

@jeskeets @NoDunksInc Blur your eyes a little and that picture looks like you have the most glorious one sided mullet I’ve ever seen.

@HHReynolds @Super70sSports Then went and flawlessly executed the pick and roll with Scotty Howard in wolf form. Beavers won again

@Super70sSports Crazy that Francis Buxton was at that game.

“Hey! It’s Enrico Pallazzo!”

@JakeGuti Trust me, we know. He’s the real life version of a Bond villain in STL. Although hopefully we’ll enjoy using the $700 milly he had to pay us.

@jbacott Understandable, can’t completely disagree with your view. Reality is Kroenke wanted to leave, BAD. The NFL wanted the LA market and a crown jewel stadium. Absolutely nothing was going to stop that from happening. STL was the victim of greed and poor city leadership.

What a joke! This dude is an absolute clown. 🤡 😢

@JakeGuti He greased the skids for it. Knew what the potential payoff was and kudos to him because it worked out. Doesn’t mean I won’t hate him for it.

@jbacott I would contend it’s not specific to STL but to the whole nation that KC is being forced upon. Chiefs are a ratings giant love them or hate them, they draw. AND it took way more than Hunt’s backing to get Kroenke’s initiative green lit to move the Rams.
