by Kent Sterling When Bill Polian came to the Indianapolis Colts in December, 1997, in exchange for the Colts third round pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, he brought with him the draft analysis he had put together while the president of the Panthers, and according to a member of Polian’s staff, Peyton Manning was […]
by Kent Sterling Not sure I’ve ever seen an Indiana team this capable of playing really well and really poorly within a four-day period. The Hoosiers weren’t perfect against #3 Wisconsin last Tuesday. The result of that game had as much to do with Wisconsin looking a step slow as it did the Hoosiers playing […]
by Kent Sterling A black man loudly speaks his mind, and he’s a thug. A white guy does some posturing, and he’s a colorful character. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman called out San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree after a game where both men took their jobs very personally as they battled one another. […]
Video of Seattle CB Richard Sherman Blasting Skip Bayless on ESPN’s First Take Shows Sherman’s Mouth Before Brain Penchant
by Kent Sterling [Ed. Note: This post was changed to reflect the date of the Sherman appearance – almost a year ago. I didn’t see the show when it initially aired and was told by someone I trust that Sherman appeared on the show today.] One thing we know about Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman […]
by Kent Sterling The one rip on the stellar career of Peyton Manning is his postseason flameouts, evidenced by his 9-11 record in playoff games he carried into the 2013 postseason. The best ever can’t have a losing record when it counts most, can he? Yesterday’s win by the Denver Broncos evened Manning’s record at […]
by Kent Sterling Mary Willingham is a polarizing person in the college athletics world. Her research shows 60% of the University of North Carolina football and men’s basketball players with whom she worked as an academic advisor read and write at anywhere from a 4th to 8th grade level, and 10% don’t fare quite that well. […]
by Kent Sterling There are days when the ball just won’t go in the bucket, but this was ridiculous. Indiana hit only 15 of its 60 shots in a loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall today. That just simply could not happen if the Hoosiers hope to be seriously considered for an at-large bid in […]
by Kent Sterling The Chicago Cubs are supposedly putting their best foot and checkbook forward in trying to lure Japanese hurler Masahiro Tanaka to ply his wares on Chicago’s North Side, but there is no chance at all that he accepts – and the Cubs know it. On its face, the bidding is idiotic. The […]
by Kent Sterling The Pacers have looked so good during its last three games that idiotic thoughts of multiple championships danced in my head as I watched the 117-89 mercy killing of a recently resurgent Knicks team. It’s really hard to win one championship – so hard that the Pacers have not been able to […]
by Kent Sterling With a 31-7 record, it’s hard for home fans to find anything wrong with the Indiana Pacers on nights like this when they beat the recently respectable New York Knicks tonight 117-89 in front of another capacity crowd at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Pacers know how to turn it on and play […]
