Scoops Sports Network

This week, Brian and Kyle are joined by guest Kareem Haq. The three started with recent promotion, injury and award news across the system. Most of this extended session was spent discussing Cardinals draft picks from rounds 8-20 this year. Not surprisingly, some interesting skills make several of them must-watch players, whether already active in 2025 or officially debuting in the spring.

One of Martin‘s favorite “Great Talks” ever this morning on the Scoops Sports Network. A look at the Cardinals fanbase and if they’ve arrived at apathy. Martin says he sees more anger and sees that as a sign the fans still care. So should the team put the majority of money toward the farm system? What would fans say if the team stopped “competing” each year and instead tried to build from within? Martin talks about attendance at Busch and a dwindling TV audience. Thoughts on Walker, Gorman and former players like Carlson performing elsewhere now too. We talk about fan-favorite Adam Wainwright, clubhouse player interviews and more.

Time to catch up with Martin Kilcoyne after some R&R on today’s Great Talk. We get into Cardinals trade needs, favorite past teams/trades, the ‘04 team anniversary, La Russa and more. Plus, a look ahead to Mizzou football.

At the halfway point, we take a look at the Cardinals needs as the trade deadline approaches. Pitching is obvious but is a starter or reliever more of a target? Also, the club has gotten heat for not developing top players in recent years but is it warranted? Burleson, Winn and more are proving that theory wrong. We talk about Arenado and Goldschmidt. If they can produce just a little bit more, the heat will be off. A look at the Blues NHL draft, CITY’s poor record, questionable Adeniran usage, huge celeb presence at the UFL championship and more.

Checking in with Martin Kilcoyne this morning on St. Louis sports over the weekend. A huge one for high school basketball and our well wishes go out to Dan Rolfes with IWA. We take a look at Travis Ford’s dismissal and potential replacement for Billikens men’s basketball. We also get into the timing of Oliver Marmol‘s extension and Tommy Edman’s absence. Has Victor Scott done enough to claim that roster spot. What are Martin‘s thoughts on NCAA tournament bracket seating and Indiana State being snubbed? Plus Blues back again with wishy-washy winning behind Bennington’s solid season. Hofer has been a reliable stand too. Will the Blues get just enough for a playoff spot? Birthday shout outs, Bulls game stories, and more here. Thanks to Lou Fusz Automotive group:
