by Kent Sterling Robert Griffin III would have you believe that he’s the next big thing. His marketing shows him to be a singularly special athlete whose agility is only outpaced by his charisma. Well, charisma doesn’t complete passes, and sponsorship deals don’t win games. When Redskins coach Mike Shanahan announced that RG3 would be […]
by Kent SterlingLast night, the Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed in the arctic cold of Chicago’s lake shore, and tonight the Indiana Pacers with play the Miami Heat in the most eagerly awaited matchup of the young NBA season. These two franchise could not be run more differently; one is very successful while the other has been […]
by Kent Sterling The Rams felt pretty good about quarterback Sam Bradford, so they dealt the number two pick in the 2012 NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins for the sixth pick and a second rounder that year, and the first round picks in 2013 and 2014. That looked like a good deal at the […]
by Kent Sterling (Updated 8:10p to include transcript of Triplette’s post game interview with pool reporter.) Incompetence is tough to hide with cameras following every move from multiple angles, and ironically it was the work of the cameras on a play at the end of the first half of the Indianapolis Colts vs. Cincinnati Bengals […]

by Kent Sterling Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and Brooklyn Nets coach Jason Kidd are embarrassments to the world of the corrupt and amoral. Tomlin wandered across the sidelines on to the field of play into the path of Baltimore Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones, whose route to the end zone was altered. A tackler […]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Colts fans have seen it all this season. Signature wins against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, bad losses to the St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals, and wins against bad teams that very easily could have been losses. NFL teams are best judged by their records, but this 8-4 Colts […]
by Kent Sterling Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and AFC South rival Tennessee Titans is huge for both teams. For the Titans to continue to vie for the division crown, they must win, and the Colts need to right a ship that is listing badly after four weeks of post-bye week mediocrity. Less than […]
by Kent Sterling There are few things that get good coaches and general managers fired more quickly than not controlling and then meeting expectations. It should have taken the Indianapolis Colts three years to rebound from the pit of despair in which they cratered in 2011. That 2-14 campaign was an exercise in misery from […]
