by Kent Sterling Hating Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is easy. He’s a petulant mope who appears to shrug and pout as often as Tom Brady drops f-bombs, Andrew Luck congratulates defensive players, and Peyton Manning yells “Omaha!” But it’s not Cutler’s fault that he isn’t living up to his contract. He didn’t offer himself […]
by Kent Sterling Dropping a series of self-directed F-bombs during a violent football game where lives and fortunes can change with one hit seems to be a reasonable response to adversity. Tom Brady is one of the marquee players of America’s game, and cameras/microphones are trained on him throughout every game he plays, and when […]
by Kent Sterling Why the Los Angeles Lakers are 6-16 came very clear yesterday as video of Kobe Bryant was released showing the future hall of famer mocking, ripping, and demeaning his teammates during practice. Bryant was as ruthless with his words as he was with the basketball in his prime as a player, “You m—–f—— […]
by Kent Sterling Clint Eastwood said it best in Unforgiven, “Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.” Games are played and occasionally the undeserving team wins. That was the case today for the Indianapolis Colts in Cleveland. They were sloppy, unfocused, and unworthy of a 25-24 road win against a 7-5 team. That happens in […]
by Kent Sterling Take water from a well too often, and it runs dry. Call a running back’s number too often during a season, say goodbye to longterm productivity. DeMarco Murray had 41 touches last night for the Dallas Cowboys in their 41-28 win at Soldier Field in Chicago over the self-immolating Bears, and the […]
by Kent Sterling One important fact about the NFL Playoffs – 20 of the 32 teams will be jealous of the #6 seeds who eke their way into the postseason. The Colts have been envied by at least 20 teams after all but two regular seasons since 1999, and it’s very likely that will be […]
by Kent Sterling Discipline is an interesting concept. Many see it as the introduction of fear serving as a consequence for a bad act. Others see it as the dynamic of holding ourselves accountable for our own behavior. Some just get pissed off and hit kids with sticks. Adrian Peterson hit his four year-old son […]
by Kent Sterling I guess it’s better for people who have never given a second thought to the plague of domestic violence to give that second thought than not to have thought about it at all, but anyone who thinks that violence against women stopped because clicks on the Ray Rice videos have slowed aren’t […]
by Kent Sterling There comes a point in every NFL season when teams and players are faced with reality. They either show themselves to be poor, solid, or outstanding. That point came yesterday for the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and Peyton Manning. Every season is like a mosaic with tiles being added each week. Some […]
