I’ve met Indiana Pacers general manager David Morway a couple of times, but we’ve never really spoken. Frankly, when we were introduced, he gave me that, “Who’s this douchebag?” look that I get from time to time. I felt like saying, “I’m the douchebag who manages the radio talent who rough you up everyday, but [...]
There are a lot of people who carp about the loss of certain traditions related to the Indy 500. There are now only two days of qualifications, the start time bounces around a little bit, and the cars are going to change again soon. There was the split, Tony George’s removal from his position as [...]
Sometimes, mistakes are made on live radio, and this one was corrected quickly. ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd reported on Friday that Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry had been fired. That report, I’ve been told, was made because of an email that was sent with a link to a post I wrote where I fired Hendry [...]
I like Mike Quade. He’s been dealt a hand with which he cannot win, and he knows it. In yesterday’s postgame press conference he said he hopes the Cubs problems will work themselves out. ”Hope” is not in the lexicon of any manager – in baseball or business – who sincerely believes in his staff [...]
The cheerleader who was fired for posing for photos in a painted-on bikini is suing the Colts for back pay and reinstatement. I’m all for frivolous lawsuits, but this one isn’t worth the time and effort from the attorney. Malori Wampler deserves nothing – which is essentially what she was making as a cheerleader. The [...]
I don’t mind gaffes too much. When you speak into a live microphone, occasionally there are going to be missteps. Calling Derrick Rose “David” as he receives the NBA’s MVP Award is a biggee, but it’s what is expected from the voice of three leagues, and the master of none. What I cannot stand in [...]
Shelvin Mack will find out in late June whether he was right or wrong to enter the NBA Draft and end his collegiate eligibility, and Butler fans will wait for another six months to know exactly what his loss will mean to their team. Any of the fans who would judge next year a success [...]
A couple of years ago when Tony George ran everything at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, at least open wheel race fans knew who to get mad at when decisions were made that they disagreed with. Tony George led – right or wrong – he was a leader, and open wheel racing needs a leader more [...]
by Kent Sterling I love that the Indiana Pacers support the Indianapolis Public Library by having the Pacers players read children’s stories. Every week during the spring, a different story will be available at this link, but it will be hard to top Hansbrough. Hansbrough is a good guy, and all the Pacers are good [...]
The Cubs ran themselves into at least three outs yesterday through stupidity and/or laziness. The worst of the mopes was Alfonso Soriano who sauntered down the first base line on a tweener that fell. He should have been standing on second, but settled for a single. The never batter hit a deep fly ball, and [...]
