Monday Night Football’s 700th game evokes memories of a more fun generation
October 14, 2014

by Kent Sterling Before we started to take sports so damn seriously, there was a Monday Night Football broadcast that was more TV party than typical play-by-play. Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, and Frank Gifford brought swagger and celebrity to the NFL, and their performance was more important to the success of the show than the […]

Indianapolis Colts – Yesterday’s win could be the game that begins road to the Super Bowl
October 6, 2014

by Kent Sterling There were so many things wrong with the Indianapolis Colts yesterday in the 20-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens that predicting a trip to the Super Bowl as a season finale for them seems ludicrous. Four turnovers are difficult to overcome for any NFL team, but an Ahmad Bradshaw fumble with 1:49 […]

Indianapolis Colts – No hypocrisy in cutting Da’Rick Rogers after DUI
September 30, 2014

by Kent Sterling Nothing would give me more pleasure than to yelp and holler about how Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers should be afforded the same latitude to seek treatment that was provided Colts owner Jim Irsay after his operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated arrest, but it would be ridiculous. Irsay is an […]

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti apologizes; accuses ESPN of one-sided journalism
September 23, 2014

by Kent Sterling One thing Charles Foster Kane learned in the great film Citizen Kane was that wealth can’t change the truth. Ironically, William Randolph Hearst, the publisher who was the inspiration for Kane, discovered the same thing when he tried to kill the film before its release. Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is the […]

NFL Implosion – Despite awful performance, Roger Goodell’s job is safe
September 20, 2014

by Kent Sterling Only one thing could cause significant erosion of support among NFL owners for Roger Goodell to remain in his role as commissioner of the NFL, and that is an attack on their wallets. Goodell could have twerked and farted at the podium during yesterday’s ineffective press conference, and still the owners would […]

Florida State QB Jameis Winston knows exactly who he is and where he’s headed as he is suspended
September 18, 2014

by Kent Sterling Bad news for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell rolled in again yesterday as Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston was suspended by Florida State for the first half of Saturday’s game against Clemson for jumping on a table and screaming “F**k her right in the p***y!” Goodell is hiding under his desk while […]

NFL misery continues – and commissioner Roger Goodell needs a pep talk, which I fail in providing
September 17, 2014

Dear Roger – Hey, it could be worse! At least you didn’t knock your wife unconscious or make your son’s scrotum bleed. Feel better? You seemed like a good guy in the beginning – someone willing to hold people accountable for their behavior because it was the right thing to do. Sadly, you have been […]

Indianapolis Colts loss not just because of officiating errors, but they didn’t help
September 16, 2014

by Kent Sterling A swing and a miss on a pass interference non-call, and a bizarre horse-collar penalty two plays later didn’t directly lead to the Indianapolis Colts losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 30-27, but they sure didn’t help. The Colts led 20-6 after an Adam Vinatieri field goal with 6:43 remaining in the third […]

Roger Goodell interview with CBS riddled with non-denial denials – someone needs to come clean
September 10, 2014

by Kent Sterling When people are comfortable telling only part of the truth, trouble ensues. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell went seriously old school politician yesterday during an interview with CBS News Norah O’Donnell, who did a more than credible job in asking the right questions. Goodell tried to appear earnest while dodging, dipping, and ducking. […]
