Another Trial to Keep an Eye On

With the Kyle Rittenhouse trial over and both the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos and the Ghislaine Maxwell trials just beginning - there's another trial on the horizon to put on your docket. The NFL's billion dollar mediation and trial with the City of St Louis is set to begin. The trial date has been set for January 10th.

The relocation lawsuit against Stan Kroenke and the Rams by the City of St. Louis looks to be a big loser for the NFL. Seems like Kroenke was in the wrong in picking up his team and moving it to Los Angeles. Also seems like he knew it when he promised the other NFL owners that he'd pay for any damages resulting from this lawsuit. But now it seems that Kroenke wants the other NFL owners to help pay for the damages - which could be a massive bill.

This will not go over well with the other team owners. Get your popcorn ready. This could be a doozy. 

An NFL Lawsuit That's Not Going Away

I don't often root for St. Louis but in this case I really am. NFL braces for billion-dollar exposure in St. Louis litigation.

Couple this with the increasing outrage over the NFL's handling of the WFT investigation (and ahem "cover-up") and the question has to be asked, "Has Roger Goodell handled anything correctly during his tenure?"

Flotsam and Jetsam - St. Louis Edition

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations from St. Louis.

Happy day after Saint Patrick' Day!!... I had two flights on Southwest yesterday which was nice because Southwest was offering complementary beer in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I appreciated the free beer but if you stop and think about it - it's a pretty negative stereotype. What can you do to honor the Irish on their day of celebration? Give away booze of course because everyone thinks of booze when they think of the Irish... I was surprised to learn that the St. Louis Blues have never won the Stanley Cup. I just assumed that they had. I'm guessing they are not fans of this famous photo... I bought a bottled water at the airport and got a chuckle when I noticed that the bottle proclaimed that it was "Sodium Free". Sodium of course is just another way of saying salt. So basically the label was saying that I was not buying saltwater. I was amused by that... I didn't have time to post my pick of the day yesterday but I had the Devils (-$160) to beat the Blackhawks. The Devils won to give Martin Brodeur his 552nd win. That makes me 1-1 on my picks of the day so far. I'm going to try and make that a regular feature here.... Speaking of the Stanley Cup - on this day back in 1893 Lord Stanley pledged a sliver cup to be given to the hockey champion of Canada. Interestingly enough - Lord Stanley never saw a Stanley Cup hockey game played. It was his son's idea... Part of I-70 in St. Louis is designated as the Mark McGwire Highway. Not sure how I feel about that... Today is Brad Dourif's 59th birthday. I loved Brad Dourif as Doc Cochran on Deadwood but not till today did I realize that he also played Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings trilogy...
