    At spring training, Crux Coffee is the crux of Cardinal Nation. Players, coaches, execs, fans. They're greeted by Vicky at the register & have no idea the hell she's lived. She and her husband, Danny, opened Crux. Had a son. Then, Danny died from cancer.

    Whoa. This just happened. At 2:00 timeout here at Mizzou, a guy had a chance to kick a 45-yard FG for $25,000. Instead, he lifts up his shirt, and painted on his chest is an, um, message for KU. Then he kicks the ball TOWARD the KU sideline and lifts shirt again.

    Remember Laila? She was the optimistic disease-fighting kid who inspired the 2019 @StLouisBlues during their Stanley Cup run. Well, Laila is now 15, playing hockey herself and … guess what? HER team just won a Cup! My column: stltoday.com/sports/column/…
