by Kent Sterling The time has come for Florida State University to say goodbye to quarterback and pitcher Jameis Winston, who has shown a complete disregard for rules during the past 18 months. It’s not for one individual incident, but for the totality of his missteps while in Tallahassee. Shoplifting $32.72 worth of crab legs, as […]
by Kent Sterling The NCAA screwing things up has become so routine that I don’t bother writing about it much anymore. A full year rip for Michigan’s Mitch McGary testing positive a first time for marijuana, especially when he was physically unable to compete, is insane. A rule change that will go into effect on […]
by Kent Sterling The opportunity to do the right thing and the most practical thing simultaneously doesn’t come along very often for a guy in charge, but it happened yesterday for NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is just that big a tool, and Silver has him to thank for grooving […]
by Kent Sterling This is the first time we have seen new NBA commissioner Adam Silver set the tone for the league he oversees. He’s gone on his little goodwill tour of arenas and made many media appearances, but faced no adversity. Saturday, potentially radioactive adversity in the form of racially offensive and absurd comments […]
by Kent Sterling I’m alone on a skinny limb. No one I know of not drawing checks from Pacers Sports & Entertainment believes the Indiana Pacers have any chance to take the last two games to win the opening round series against the Atlanta Hawks in seven. Even people with the Pacers are privately rejecting […]
by Kent Sterling People are outraged – players, coaches, fans, and virtually anyone associated with the NBA wants Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling (no relation; his given game is Donald Tokowsky) ousted from their membership. Making the idiotic statements about African Americans represented on the recording obtained and disseminated by TMZ have made Sterling […]
by Kent Sterling Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler coined the term ‘schizophrenia’ in 1911. The first half play of the Indiana Pacers re-defined in the first half of their 107-97 loss tonight to the Atlanta Hawks. After leading through most of the first quarter and finishing with a 21-20 lead, the Pacers went on a vacation […]
by Kent Sterling There was so much wrong with the first episode of “Crowd Goes Wild” on Fox Sports 1 that they lost me for the next three months. I tuned back because of equal shares of professional responsibility and morbid curiosity. Same problems. Today, I read where the show has been cancelled, so I […]
by Kent Sterling Expectations are a huge factor in building a narrative for a seven-game playoff series. Last year, the Indiana Pacers won 49 games, were the third seed, and faced a Game Five against the Atlanta Hawks with the series tied 2-2. This year, while in the same situation against a different Hawks team, […]
by Kent Sterling It’s always a little stunning when there is such outrage when an idiot opens his mouth. Human beings aren’t quite as bright as we like to think we are. People tend to enjoy disliking each other for their differences, and they have for the expanse of recorded history. I’m not sure why, […]
