Clearly, the New England Patriots have not learned their lesson. Another scandal has led to another penalty that validates the risks they routinely take to gain an unfair advantage. This time the Patriots sent a video crew to Cleveland last December 8th to record the sidelines work of the Bengals a week ahead of their game in Cincinnati. […]
Laugh tracks have been stripped from virtually every sitcom on TV. Back in the day TV programmers added laughter to shows because they felt without it, people would not be smart enough to tell what was funny. Then they grew up and gave audiences a little respect. Major League Baseball and the National Football League – […]
To watch or not to watch – that is the question. Baseball’s resumption in one month presents a huge question for Cubs fans. Do we trust content providers like Comcast and YouTube to get a deal done with the Marquee Network, change providers, or forego Cubs baseball for the 60-game sprint to the playoffs. I […]
Paul George says more words that no one challenges and Pacers fans shouldn’t believe
Former Indiana Pacers forward Paul George was always unselfish with his time and words. Sadly, they had no meaning. To my endless discredit, it took me five conversations to figure that out. As it turns out, somehow I’m way ahead of the game because people are still asking him questions, and inexplicably also listening to the […]
College basketball is going to be fine, regardless of some excellent players opting to bounce straight to professional basketball. No one has ever graduated from Fort Wayne Mad Ants University or Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario College, and so few people outside Fort Wayne and Ontario have ever heard of these G League franchises. Every year, […]
Victor Oladipo has a serious decision to make. I’m a big fan of employees showing up for work and for teammates doing whatever is needed to answer the bell as a unit, but if Oladipo decides he is done with basketball until tipoff of the 2020-2021 season he gets a pass. Thirteen games into a […]
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. That’s the word to the wise who consider transferring from their current college basketball program to a new address. There are very few players recruited at the power five conference level who don’t believe they are just a few years away from earning tens of millions […]
It’s time to take back our game. Baseball has dicked around long enough with our hearts. When baseball resumes, keep your money in your pockets. Hold baseball owners and players accountable for their indifference to you by refusing to line their pockets with your cash. For the history of our national pastime, owners have assumed […]
If Kyrie Irving wanted more minority owners and GMs in the NBA, he should have signed as a free agent last summer with a team that has one. Instead, Irving signed with Brooklyn, whose GM is New Zealander Sean Marks and owner is Taiwanese/Canadian Joe Tsai. Irving’s contract runs through 2023, so he’ll have another […]
Like all sports loving Hoosiers, I spend my time in the car between noon and three listening to Dan Dakich on 1070 the Fan, and he has long been a staunch defender of Ryan Grigson’s record as the general manager of the Indianapolis Colts. Dan has carved out an island of his very own where […]
