Ladue

Sunny and 70s today with the sweet, sweet aroma of grilled gator flowing through our crisp October air.

Jackson, have you ever had gator bites? I would like to know the scoring on your Ladue scale.

I know Tim was in Columbia this weekend trying to get a little sample of something, something dressed up a gator.

I would ask Doug or Martin what they think about gator bites, but they would probably start an argument about whether it's gator or crocodile, kind of similar to the conversations and arguments I hear at 8:00 AM at the Sunset Hills Bread Co.

That's from Your Local Meatball.

Your Local Meatball.

To the un-honorable Jackson of Ladue, let this email serve as an in-writing notice that I have retained legal counsel from a guy with his face on a bus bench on Graville to fight your heinous and communist acts.

The fire ant-loving Jackson announced this morning that last week's wins do not count towards the new Stifel Pro-Am Email the Day prize, like a country club board revoking a membership because the new guy parked his rusted Civic next to their Range Rover.

Uh, let's say, how about, uh, how about 91 and a half?

Jackson Bennett-Burkett of Ladue, Horton, Watkins, and the Teterboro Airport.

89 and a half.

86 and a half.

And I do apologize for the text to speak.

I am not the illiterate clown that went to Ladue High School like some basketball lovers that you have on your show that's from FedEx, Brian.

And I felt like that apology fell off a little there.

But you know

what? Here's how he spelled Ladue.

L-E-D-O-U-X.

And he called me illiterate? Unfortunately, I'm painfully literate, and I have to read some of that

was a great player for the Cardinals throughout history and all this kind of thing.

But while he was still alive, after his years, he still remained here in St. Louis, lived in Ladue, I believe.

But they never had any real association with, And the Browns, too, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

He never had any post-career involvement with the Cardinals afterwards.

That, that was ...

Because I know, because when I got here, Jack Quinn handed me the keys to Scott Stevens' home in Ladue.

And they're like, "We're not in the real estate market, but we had to take possession of his home." I didn't know what we'd do.

Okay.

But my family's from North County, Overland, Ferguson, Florissant.

And I also went to school in Ladue.

Look at us.

Yeah, and look at us now.

And my grandpa grew up in Mill Creek, which has gone.

And then my dad grew up in Laclede town, which also got destroyed.

So I always had this context and yeah, growing up in North County, um, being around and in North city, my other grandmother lived in U city and then going to a private school in Ladue, it did feel like, okay, um, these people aren't talking to each other.

Like you sort of get this, yeah, like a passport into different areas of the city and therefore you're having different types of conversations.

But no, he is a game manager in the best sense because he's only turned the ball over one time in four games.

LaDue's offense only has one turnover in those four games, and that was an interception against Vianney when they were winning in the second half.

So...

Yeah, LeDoux's offense, they don't turn the ball over.
