Pat Imig

Role:
STL Sports Columnist

Where did you go to high school?:
CBC

Bio:
Born in Manchester. After graduating from CBC, I made my way to Mizzou to study journalism. The one thing it has taught me is that TV reporting sucks. On another note, if you happen to be in Columbia over the next couple of months, give Papa John’s a call and I may just deliver your pizza (of course, I’m not joking).

Was able to join the sports empire known as joesportsfan.com a little over a year ago, after bribing Josh with an autographed Lee Tunnel rookie card. Since then, I have spent most of my time documenting the circus that is ESPN. While I find it highly entertaining, I’m pretty sure it isn’t normal.


Favorite TV Show(s):
Family Guy. Forensic Files is solid too

Favorite STL Personality:

Can’t go wrong with Joe Buck or Bob Costas. Also a fan of Bryan Burwell.

KMFP

Role:
Cardinals Columnist


Where did you go to high school?:
A proud 1989 graduate of Fox High School - "the smoking lounge years"

Bio:

I was born in the backseat of a Greyhound bus, rollin’ down Highway-41. I bounced around schools due to divorce & hardship, with a stop-over at Catholic school just for the molestation.  I found myself settling & still residing in Jefferson County for the love of meth & Natural Light, with the added guarantee of being more intelligent & witty than approximately 87% of people I will encounter.

Favorite STL personality:

Kevin Slaten is my hero.  You have to admire somebody who can generate ratings on pure schtick & bullshit, not to mention get somebody to pay him to actually air painful, 20-minute, scripted, FUCKING NASCAR CONVERSATIONS with a young boy while broadcasting from watering holes near his own home, thus never having to step foot in a studio or drive more than 10-minutes.  GENIUS!  Negotiate my next contract!  Carpe Douche Bag indeed!

Favorite TV Show(s):

Anything exploiting has-been "celebrities" or plying the nation's youth with alcohol while putting them in a sexually volatile and hostile environment where douchebaggery is bound to occur.  I can't turn away.  Further proof of the intelligence I just bragged about.

Interests:

Long walks on the shores of the lovely Meramec River, cock-gazing at the office urinal & the smell of ass and catfood.

J. Adams

Role:
Columnist/Creator of The Man Hole

Where did you go to high school?:
Belleville West/Lindbergh

Bio:
Born and raised in the STL area, and unabashedly flaunting a Cards cap in Chicago for a couple years, my writing style was developed more on buses and trains and hikes in the woods than in a classroom. And as much as I enjoyed waxing baseball poetic here at InsideSTL, the Man Hole section is more my speed. Covering the topics of health & fitness, sex & women, and the many deserving small businesses here in our little town, I humbly hope to bring awareness to a collective perception I’m concerned has become completely fucked. I’m also a certified personal trainer and copywriter, so drop me a line if you dare.

Favorite TV Show(s):
Mad Men and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Favorite STL Personality:

Mike Shannon

Interests:

Baseball, softball, billiards, and advocating in the devil's defense. I enjoy live music, especially local hip hop shows, and various other forms of urban art. I love camping, hiking, and anything fitness related.

Ft. Zumwalt South High School (St. Peters, MO)

Bio:

I loved growing up in Jennings but, unfortunately, I became another victim of "White Flight" in 1996, when my parents uprooted the family for the (supposedly) greener pastures of St. Peters.  I finished high school at Zumwalt, then went on to Lindenwood University to get my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Education.  While in college, I met my future wife, Jessica (who's WAY out of my league), and we were married in 2003.  We moved to Florissant that same year, and we currently live there with our 4 dogs (Comet, Krypto, Ace, & Batman).

Favorite TV Show(s):

Interests:

An endless pursuit of trying to be a successful working photographer. Thankfully, that interest is pretty fun when it isn't stressing me out.

Where did you go to high school?:
Mt. Olive High School (Illinois)

Bio:

Overall, I am pretty laid back about most things. I guess that comes from being from a small town. But I will warn you that I could be the most competitive person in the world.  I love ALL sports but golf and baseball are my passions.  I have a tendency to be a smartass, but you can determine for yourself if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I am quite well-rounded. I have been to musicals and liked a few. I know how to cook. I like to dress up when the occassion calls for it. I am not a fan of people who wear jeans to a wedding. I watch ALL movies and and listen to ALL types of music. I know how to dance. I don't worry about much, but am a good listener and a realist. I may tell you something you don't want to hear. I love to make people laugh and talk.

Bio:

After I graduated college I got my dream job. I was hired as a play-by-play man for a minor league baseball team, the River City Rascals. After almost two years of spending sometimes 12 days on a bus and cities like, Kalamazoo,Mich., Erie, Penn., Evansville, Ind, and the butt hole of America Rockford, Ill. I decided that minor league sports weren't for me. I moved from behind the mic to behind a keyboard. I started to write about sports instead of talking about them. Currently, I am the Assistant Sports Information Director at Lindenwood University. I can also be heard on the air calling many different sports from basketball to football to lacrosse to baseball, to just name a few.
