The NCAA Transfer Portal for basketball players should be a remedy of last resort, but it has instead become a spring break destination more popular than South Padre Island. College is a great place for young adults to be introduced to manageable adversity, so that when real misfortune comes during adulthood they don’t wig out and […]
The Colts have a quarterback problem – again. It’s not that Carson Wentz sucks as a franchise QB. He doesn’t. Wentz is worse than terrible. He is mediocre. There is nothing worse for an NFL franchise at quarterback than a guy who is capable of winning and losing in equal measure. Wentz would be a […]
Lee Kelly taught radio at New Albany for a long time. From him, radio students learned about the power of the medium and responsibility to themselves and each other. Radio was a magical class. Lee believed the social nature of how radio connects with listeners required the class to be an interactive adventure. Everyone I knew wanted to […]

Brand new coach Mike Woodson, 42 years from his last season affiliated with Indiana University, has enjoyed a wonderful six-month honeymoon period. He is the coach every IU fan has pined for since Bob Knight was defrocked […]
Only five days to Indiana Basketball’s first game of the season, and I’m getting nervous. Really nervous. The last seven months have been filled with hope and optimism that the Hoosiers will be better than under former coach Archie Miller – good enough the earn their first invitation to the NCAA Tournament since 2016. Miller getting […]
The answer is, never. You just don’t do it. Screwing over the Eagles would be deceitful, short-sighted, pragmatic, and bereft of morality. The question is – when do you shut Carson Wentz down so he doesn’t reach the threshold of snaps to kick that 2022 second round pick into the first round? When the Colts made […]
I want to care about the Indiana Pacers, but if the Pacers themselves play as though they don’t care about the Pacers, why should I bother? That was the thought that rang in my head like the bell in a church where it is always noon as I watched their pathetic lack of effort in Toronto last night. Basketball […]
