by Bert Beiswanger Almost two weeks have passed since I watched one of the most thrilling IndyCar races I’ve seen in quite a while. What brought this back into my consciousness? My son, who just got around to watching it on the DVR, texted me, “That Fontana race was fantastic,” …. “but I can see […]
by Kent Sterling Ten-year NBA veteran Monta Ellis is reportedly talking to the Indiana Pacers today about coming to Indy as a free agent. There are reasons for the Pacers to be interested in signing Ellis, and a few for fans not to see him as a magical elixir that might allow the Pacers to […]
by Kent Sterling Attorneys are like magicians – everyone knows they are tricking us with sleight of speech and misdirection, but the good ones keep us guessing in wonderment. Don Yee is Tom Brady’s agent, and yesterday he pulled back the curtain as he clumsily tried to pull a rabbit out of his transparent hat […]
by Kent Sterling As Indiana had again oversigned recruits for the incoming freshman class, it was clear that a few Hoosiers would need to either transfer or declare for the NBA Draft.

by Kent Sterling Does anyone really think that Indiana point guard Yogi Ferrell is going to forego his senior season to enter the NBA Draft? For those awaiting word, it will come at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on the north side of Indianapolis Saturday, April 25th. I have yet to find a mock draft or word […]
by Kent Sterling Now that the Indiana State Legislature and governor have learned arrogance never pays, now the nation can turn its attention to basketball rather than a neanderthal attempt to marginalize the LGBT community. Ignorance was revealed, corrected, and now Indiana has enacted its first protection of LGBTs as a class. Winning comes in […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana a #10 seed? Wow. That wasn’t the only surprise of the NCAA Tournament bracket, but it was the biggest to me. Losing nine of their final 14 games with the five wins coming against Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Rutgers twice evidently meant nothing to the committee. Good for Indiana, bad for […]
