by Kent Sterling As usual, I can’t wait for the best two hours of my week, and what a group of people we have scheduled to join us. George Hill and Frank Vogel from the Pacers, Jerrell Freeman and Pat McAfee from the Colts, Ball State head football coach Pete Dembo, and the great Rick […]
by Kent Sterling Ahh, Twitter. What would we write about in August without Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay explaining the inner workings of his team – from the dressing down his “commanders” received following the 24-point loss to the Buffalo Bills, and today’s effort to justify the pricing strategy for tickets, parking, and concessions.

A year ago tomorrow, […]
by Kent Sterling If preseason games don’t do much to illuminate the level of play for any team (and they don’t), the workouts where attempts at comparative analysis is impossible are futile. The workouts are finished in preparation for the preseason opener Sunday against the Buffalo Bills at Lucas Oil Stadium, but the work isn’t […]
by Kent Sterling The first seven or eight times, I found the statistical evaluations of the 2012 Colts season to be interesting and entertaining. As a team with a -30 point differential, it seems a mathematical anomaly to win 11 games in a 16 game season as the Colts did in 2012. True enough. Click […]
by Kent Sterling You want to know something about football – something unique that you can take to conversations about the NFL and sound like you know what the hell you are talking about – listen to former Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints head coach Rick Venturi for a few minutes. He sees the […]
by Kent Sterling Once upon a time, there was a Sports Illustrated cover story about a high school phenom who was said to have been built as a quarterback by a doting father. Sports Illustrated published a piece, “Bred To Be A Superstar,” that pealed back the curtain on the young stud. Click here to follow […]
