by Kent Sterling The Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are the best team in basketball when they want to be, and in their first NBA Finals together Wade and James want to be. That means it’s four and out for the Dallas Mavericks. It’s too bad because the NBA Playoffs have been [...]
by Paulie Balst Traveling to Columbus on business this morning, I landed at the Ohio State University Airport surpised to see a man who looked suspiciously like former Florida football coach Urban Meyer deplane not 60 yards from my Cessna 421C. The jet door opened and The Pretenders “My City Was Gone” was blaring. Meyer [...]
by Kent Sterling This was all so predictable. The Cubs were going to suck regardless of injuries, but now rank at the bottom among teams in the National League in so many areas, it’s hard to figure out how two teams have worse records. Cubs hitters have walked less than any team in the NL. [...]
by Kent Sterling Ahh, hindsight. Nothing like the ability to check a timeline, see where it all went wrong, and correct the errors that led to a disaster. No doubt former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has been looking back to several of the dates over the past year, wishing that he made several [...]
What a serious and historic lack of leadership we have seen from THE Ohio State University athletic director and president.

Wheldon pockets $2.57 million for win, Tressel ‘resigns’, and the NBA Finals start tonight.

by Kent Sterling Ohio State president Gordon Gee finally had enough. The constant Chinese water torture of the drip, drip, drip of information about screwy violations that were nothing more than kids doing what kids do pushed the button that made Tressel a bigger liability than an asset. (Yeah, yeah, I know this is being [...]
by Kent Sterling The Indianapolis 500 yesterday was about as good as a race gets. There was drama through the very last turn, and there wasn’t a car in the field that didn’t have a chance to win when the day started. But there is so much more that can be done to make the [...]
by Kent Sterling There is no seat at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where every portion of the mammoth track is visible, so when Dan Wheldon, not J.R. Hildebrand, was announced as the winner, half the quarter of a million in attendance sought out the men in headphones who had been listening to the race to [...]
By Austin Miller twitter.com/mr_atm1215 June has almost arrived and the NBA Finals are finally here; hopefully mother nature will look at her calendar soon and realize that this is the time of the year of sunny, warm weather. The Heat and Mavericks come into this Final with impressive performances in the Conference Finals. While this [...]
