Ben Simmons to the Indiana Pacers? Oh, hell no! These rumors must have been planted by Simmons’ agent to try to create a market out of this air for the disgruntled Philadelphia 76er, right? There is no way the Pacers do something this silly. Kevin Pritchard is a lot of things as a team president, […]
So Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer allowed a woman in his Columbus, Ohio, bar dance very, very near him. We know this because someone videotaped the idiocy with a smart phone and posted it on social media. Of course they did. Is this really how we want to use a piece of awesome technology? I’m no […]
Hope is what gets us up in the morning. It’s what makes life fun. Sports mirrors life in many ways. Hope makes sports fun too. Yesterday, the Colts gave fans reason for hope. The first three games – all losses – sucked a lot of hope out of Indianapolis. But because the Colts beat the Dolphins […]
Greed sucks, but it’s impossible to avoid. Even in the chaste world of college sports, the bottom line is the only line. Big 10 coaches and administrators “earn” hundreds of thousands of dollars – if not millions – because alums and fans covet watching students of their favorite schools compete for football and basketball […]
Pacers guard Caris LeVert has a stress fracture in his back. The Pacers inability to stay healthy is sickening. I just can’t take it anymore. If I wanted to write about medical conditions, I would have gone to medical school or become a trainer. Last year, Pacers starters lost 148 starts to injury, which equates […]
The NFL season is three games old, and Indianapolis Colts fans don’t know what to do with their anger over the winless start. Just like disgruntled customers at a restaurant, Colts fan want to talk to the manager. The only question is whether that manager for the Colts is coach Frank Reich or general manager […]
The air in the Indiana Football balloon escaped at halftime of the 38-24 loss to Cincinnati. IU still led 14-10, but anyone who has been around the Hoosiers knew what was about to happen. Memorial Stadium, earlier packed to the corners for the only time in 30 years for a game not against Ohio State, became […]
The NBA has an image problem as safe harbor for self-immersed fools, and Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons didn’t change it today. It is being reported that Simmons has told the team he will not report to training camp and will never wear a 76ers jersey again. He is under contract with the Sixers for […]
This won’t come as a great shock to Indianapolis Colts fans who have watched their team get off to an 0-2 start, but the Colts are not going to win a championship this season despite their hopes and dreams to the contrary. Hope is a miserable companion because it almost always leads to disappointment, and […]
The Indiana Pacers won’t be the same – not for the media, players, coaches, executives and fans. The franchise has figure out how to move on without Mel Daniels, Slick Leonard, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Donnie Walsh, but now they are losing the BEST to ever do what he did. One of my favorite […]
