by Kyle Miller Between NCAA recruiting violations and the Steriod Era in baseball, sports news is becoming more than just box scores and recaps. Now we listen to lawyers, judges and trials to figure out the future of certain individuals and in some cases whole programs. These allegations and investigations are ruining sports. Baseball seems [...]
by Kent Sterling Shiny new Indiana University football coach Kevin Wilson ran into two extremes in broadcasting today as he participated in a pair of radio interviews today. Despite his 0-0 career record as a head coach, he was subjected to ridicule by one, and then afforded an opportunity to talk about the experience on [...]
by Kent Sterling For seven weeks, I’ve been a St. Louisan as the program director of 101 ESPN – one of the best sportstalk radio stations in America. This is the first move my family has made in 18 years, and the first time as bona fide adults. There is a lot to know, and [...]
by Kent Sterling Okay, that headline isn’t fair because that is not what this is, I’ve been in St. Louis for three weeks, and been downtown only once, so I’m not quite more than a stranded tourist here. I lived in Indy for 18 years, so I’m as well acquainted with that city as anyone. [...]
by Kent Sterling Another magnificent two hours of radio on tap Saturday morning from 9a-11a as Fox 59′s Chris Hagan and I get after it for a lively two hours of talking to Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Polian and Purdue basketball coach Matt Painter. Polian will talk about the lockout and what the Colts are [...]

by Kent Sterling My wife is running around the house singing, “Meet Me in St. Louis”. That has nothing to do with the job offer I accepted at 101 ESPN in that city. She saw the Judy Garland movie as a kid, and 30-some years later, it continues to stick. The first post written here [...]
by Kent Sterling All you really need to know about Matt Howard is that he has never spent a penny on a haircut. When the temperature heated up and Matt needed to shore up the locks, he did it himself. Any team that passes on Matt Howard in the NBA Draft does so at its [...]
by Kent Sterling The media is a fickle mistress. Sometimes through no fault of the employee, they are told to stay home tomorrow – and the day after that, and on and on. It’s silly. It’s subjective. And it should always be totally expected because as certain as are death and taxes, so is being [...]
by Kent Sterling Nothing is more fun than the two hours every week Chris and I talk sports on 1070 the Fan. The guests are great week after week, and the two hours are over right as we are getting a little amped up. We will have a great time talking to the Colts Robert [...]
