The richest billionaire in Missouri is also one of the most despised men by St. Louis sports fans.

This just in. It's good to be Patrick Mahomes. It's also good to be a Missouri resident if you love the burger franchise Whataburger as another one of Patrick's restaurants is about to open and there are many more to come.

You'll rarely if ever hear a Missouri fish story quite like this one. It's how a Missouri man lost a friend and how that loss led to a state record fish on Table Rock Lake.

It's not easy being Travis Kelce. Oh, wait. Yes, it is. The Kansas City Chiefs player did have a moment where he didn't win recently and it was all Taylor Swift's fault.

I can't wait until July is over. No, it's not that I hate summer because I don't. It's because the Major League Baseball trade deadline will be past and I won't have to listen to any more stupid theories about how the St. Louis Cardinals are gonna trade Nolan Arenado or Paul Goldschmidt. This is simply not gonna happen.

I have lived through so many different eras of St. Louis Cardinals baseball, I feel like a wily veteran who has seen everything. But, even I have never seen anything like the season they've had so far this year and I'd like to make this appeal to the team I've loved since birth.

It's not exactly breaking news that it's good to be Patrick Mahomes. Couple of Super Bowl championships already on his resume and a growing real estate empire that now includes a brand new place in Missouri that includes an epic pool and his own par 3 golf hole with putting green as a new aerial photo reveals.

It's the most difficult fishing record to break in the state of Missouri based on how long it has stood alone. It has now been more than 62 years ago that a man pulled the state record for a largemouth bass out of Missouri's Bull Shoals Lake and no one has topped it since.

He's a St. Louis legend and not only for what he accomplished on a baseball field for the Cardinals. David Freese recently returned to his hometown for a different reason. He faced down a burger that was named after him and promptly consumed it in a matter of minutes. Legend.

I've got good news and bad news. Let's begin with the good stuff first. USA Today readers have just named a Missouri lake as the best place for water sports. The bad news? You're also most likely to die there, so there's that.
