Sexy is a word that does not and will not apply to the Indianapolis Colts, and so we don’t see a lot of Horseshoes on ESPN, Fox Sports, and CBS Sports. What America saw last night from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was sexy. He ran all over the field, winning the game with his feet […]
It figures. The re-scheduled Old Oaken Bucket game between Indiana and Purdue has been canceled. That’s par for the course during a 2020 when everything in our lives has been tentative due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19. The Hoosiers finish this most irregular season with a 6-1 record and a #7 national ranking […]
The Indiana Pacers preseason starts in tomorrow night, and games will be carried on Fox Sports Indiana. If your content provider does not carry FS Indiana, you will not see Pacers games. That caused me a problem that I corrected Wednesday. I was a subscriber to Disney-owned Hulu Live TV, but the agreement they had […]
When an eighth grader suddenly blossoms and is welcomed by the popular clique, he leaves behind those with whom he was friends. The former friends don’t understand why they were discarded, and the popular kid learns a little about empathy and the meaninglessness of popularity. NBA all-star Paul George went through the first half of this metamorphosis […]
Indiana lost 69-67 in overtime to Florida State last night, so why did I enjoy watching the game so much? Losses nest with me forever – my personal defeats and those of teams and people I back – so this is a bit of a weird sensation. I did a Periscope immediately after the game, and […]
Despite a rule enacted by the Big 10 to keep teams unable to play six games this season from competing in the Big 10 Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the 5-0 Ohio State Buckeyes will represent the East Division in that game. The unjust rule change will be voted on and approved by […]
With the elevation of jalen Hurts to starter for the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend, the availability of demoted quarterback Carson Wentz at the end of the season is in play. Because Frank Reich has worked with Wentz before and incumbent QB Philip Rivers turned 39 yesterday, the Colts seem to be the sexy pick to […]
“Remember, this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: John Lennon, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous perhaps of all of the Beatles, shot twice in the back, […]
Indiana was scheduled to play Florida State tomorrow night at 9:30p in the Big 10/ACC Challenge. Game time has been changed to 7:15p, which is far more convenient for those of us who work for a living. Games that start at or after 9p end after 11p – sometimes well after 11p – and the […]
Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian Donald Davidson retires – and it bums me out
Did you hear the one about the guy who loved talking so much about the men who made the Indianapolis Motor Speedway famous that he actually became one? That’s the story of Donald Davidson, who is retiring as the historian of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the end of the month. Donald saying goodbye makes me […]
