by Kent Sterling There are some kids who just ooze balance and confidence, and one of those is Hamilton Southeastern’s Gary Harris. He plays football and basketball, and is being recruited to do one or the other or both for a wide array of schools, including IU, Purdue, Louisville, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Illinois.

by Kent Sterling Dahntay Jones is smart, funny, and knows he way around the NBA postseason. He started for the Denver Nuggets two years ago as they made their run to the Western Conference Finals, so when Danny Granger called out Joakim Noah for being a dirty player, Jones felt compelled to tell Danny that [...]
by Kent Sterling The Colts appear to be committed to rebuilding that offensive line, don’t they. The Polians took Villanova’s Ben Ijalana with an eye at sliding him from the tackle spot where he excelled in college to the guard slot where he projects as a pro. It has to make Peyton Manning a little [...]
by Kent Sterling The Colts drafted a really smart kid with their first rounder. Anthony Castonzo is a 6’7″ 311 lbs. biochemistry major from north suburban Chicago by way of Boston College. He started 54 games in four seasons, and projects as the starting left tackle as soon a football starts again. Click here to [...]

Beginning next year, basketball players will need to decide before the first day of [...]
by Bert Beiswanger Earlier this week, first year Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told television station Fox Charlotte that the Panthers’ decision with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft would “put a face on the beginning of my career.” Ron, the face of your career is now that of Cam Newton. I’d [...]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Colts fans hope that the first thing Anthony Castonzo thought this morning when he woke up after a good night’s sleep is “Keep Peyton safe!” The left tackle from Boston College is a Rhode’s Scholar candidate, so he should be smart enough to know that he has just been hired by [...]
Never have so many been paid so much to be so wrong so often. The NFL Mock Draft game is hilarious and given the money paid to guys like Mel Kiper and Adam Schefter at ESPN, I want to play. It’s not about getting the picks right, because that never happens. It’s about making a [...]
