No matter how successful we become, those moments of disappointment when we were unjustly spurned by an employer nest forever in our psyches. They might crush or motivate us, but they will always be there, and the opportunity to prove management wrong will remain difficult to resist. Such is the case with Hall of Fame manager Tony […]
Today, Indiana Basketball will be back on the court for an official practice for the first time since the 2019-2020 season was shuttered after IU defeated Nebraska in the first round of the Big 10 Tournament in Indianapolis, and I’m feeling good about the Hoosiers. This, though, is the last time I am going to […]
With 11 games left in the Colts season, smart guys know what is going to happen, and it sucks. The quarterback position is the fatal flaw that will keep the Colts from being a Super Bowl contender. They could eke their way into the postseason, but their stay will be short. That’s because Philip Rivers is who […]
Philip Rivers lost the game in Cleveland. He made an indefensible throw that resulted in a pick six, and threw another pass in the direction of no one in particular while he was in the end zone. That resulted in a safety. When a quarterback scores nine points for the other guys in a nine-point […]
Colts quarterback Philip Rivers threw two ill-advised passes yesterday that were caught by Cleveland Browns defenders, and they cost the Colts the game. Rivers did the same thing against the Jaguars a month ago. He will do it again. For the Chargers last year, Rivers did the same against the Kansas City Chiefs twice, Denver […]
Here are eight finalists for the Pacers coaching job with odds for each being hired
On August 26th, the Indiana Pacers fired Nate McMillan. Six weeks later, the search continues for his replacement. Under normal circumstances this would be absurd, but these times are anything but normal. COVID caused the NBA to move into the Orlando bubble where teams and their personnel are required to stay until eliminated or crowned champions. […]
I can’t stop laughing. After 40 years of annoying me and my dad before me, Dick Vitale finally made me laugh. It’s not the typically obsequious message to Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker that Vitale intends that continues to make me laugh as I write, but the Twitter handle Vitale believes belongs to Baker. I […]
Dear sports media professional- I have some bad news. You are going to get fired. That’s the way it is. It might be tomorrow, next week, or next year, but the day will come that an employer will tell you to pack a box – or have security lead you to the front door with […]
Minds are being lost over the Indianapolis Colts 3-1 start. Indulging in optimism is fine, but it’s time to ratchet back the hyperbole a couple of levels. The Colts are in a beautiful position moving forward with tens of millions under the cap to spend (or not) during the upcoming offseason. General manager Chris Ballard […]
Given their first four opponents, the Colts 3-1 record is what it should be – at worst. The Jaguars, Vikings, Jets and Bears are flawed teams with glaring holes. If the Colts are going to return to the postseason, 3-1 was needed in the first quadrant of the season, and another 3-1 should follow in […]
