Gambling happens. If there is a game, someone has money riding on the outcome. Russian ping pong during the early parts of the pandemic taught us that. Still, Heather Lyke, the athletic director at Pitt, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday that she and every other AD in the ACC would like gambling on […]
(Moments after this was published, it was announced the Indy 500 blackout has been lifted! Thanks to the IMS folks for doing what is right.) One month from tomorrow, the Indianapolis 500 will be run in front of 25% of the normal crowd. That’s because Covid-19 has made it unsafe for the typical crowd of […]
When I dated girls in high school and felt the girl was likely to punt on our brief and awkward relationship, I fired a preemptive strike to end things. I sense Pacers fans doing the same thing with Victor Oladipo, who is rumored to be looking toward free agency as an opportunity to join the […]
Assuming you are one of the Indiana residents who is a fan of the Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, or Detroit Loins despite the Colts being from your home state, I am going to do my best to convince you that the Colts are more deserving of your rabid loyalty than the team for whom you currently […]

Indiana University tight end Peyton Hendershot has been fully reinstated to the football program, and I have a problem with that. In February, Hendershot was arrested for felony residential entry and misdemeanor domestic battery, criminal mischief and criminal conversion as the result of an incident with his girlfriend where he questioned her faithfulness, took her smart […]
I made the switch from YouTube TV to Hulu Live yesterday, and here are some thoughts about differences between the two services: Price – Hulu $54.95 vs. YouTube TV $64.95 – This is what caused me to switch. YouTube TV is bumping its price by $15 next month to cover the cost of adding a […]
Sometimes, even during a gloomy summer of masks, half-open restaurants, and social distancing, life works just right. Today, I switched TV providers from YouTube TV to Hulu Live. The first show I found on the Cubs Marquee Network – included on Hulu but not YouTube TV – was the first night game game at Wrigley […]
