    2025/12/23
    St. Louis sports fans have endured one of the most frustrating years in recent memory, and it’s time to be honest about the failures of our major franchises. From the Cardinals' attendance plummeting to the Blues' front office disasters, 2025 has left us shouting "Bah Humbug." In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly of St. Louis sports in 2025. While SLU Billikens basketball and Mizzou Football provided some sparks, the collapse of the major pro teams has left a void in the city. Bernie gives his unfiltered take on the Braggin' Rights blowout, the departure of Battlehawks coach Anthony Becht, and why the Blues and City SC missed a golden opportunity to capitalize on the Cardinals' rebuild. ⭐️ Become an STL Sports Central Insider: https://stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/15/stl-sports-central-insiders 🌊 Sponsored by Saint Louis Hot Tub Warehouse, premium hot tubs, price match guarantee.
