by Kent Sterling Nothing lasts forever, so the Chicago Cubs likely being carried on another television station in Chicago is part of the evolution of life, business, and media. The Cubs exercised an exit clause to opt out of their deal, and so unless WGN-TV can bid successfully for the rights to broadcast a schedule […]
Jeopardy Answer From Tonight’s Show Removes Hope for Intelligent Life on Earth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srDOw66KIss Serendipity sent me to Jeopardy tonight on WTHR. I’ve watched the show since I was tiny, and tonight a contestant named Carole gave the worst response I have ever heard. The answer is so bad that it’s even money Carole doesn’t understand the concept of the show. She may think Jeopardy is a game […]
by Kent Sterling There is so much to talk about that Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and I could easily do twice as much as the two-and-a-half hours we have been allotted for today’s show. Pike High School won a 34-32 thriller against Ben Davis last night, but the main story is the suspension […]
It’s the last day of the month, so it’s time to update the Twitter rankings for the Indianapolis media. There are those still without a Twitter account. I would call that borderline irresponsible.

by Kent Sterling Too much going on to dig in deep about any right now, so here are some mini-posts about the big stories that are trending now: The NFL will stage three events in London next year, and in today’s announcement of which six teams will play in those games, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell […]
by Kent Sterling After spending a good portion of yesterday consuming national media reports looking for some unique information about the World Series, I went to the source where I should have started, St. Louis Sports Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz. As I expected, Bernie gave me a whole lot of what I got nowhere else. […]
by Kent Sterling The sheer tonnage of fascinating topics in sports will keep Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and me talking and listening all day, but only two of those hours will be spent of the radio today. Peyton Manning’s homecoming tomorrow night, Indiana’s challenge at the Big House at 3:30 today, the Pacers […]
by Kent Sterling Note to self – if you ever fire Bill Polian, give him a chace to vent in the office, so he doesn’t puke bile all over ESPN asked about previous managers. There is one thing that people in indianapolis learned from 1998 thru 2011 about Bill Polian – it does not take […]
by Kent Sterling A lack of sleep turns me wacky, and as I write this, it’s 1:10 a.m., and the St. Louis Cardinals are batting in the bottom of the 13th in Game One of the National League Championship Series. The Cardinals and Dodger are tied at two as they have been since the third […]
