by Kent Sterling There is an arrogance about the Miami Heat that I don’t like. LeBron James carries himself like he has no doubt this series is over, and then he proves that he was right. That I admire. The way the rest of the team syncs with that arrogance, but are mostly incapable to […]
by Kent Sterling At some point, you have no choice but to get pissed, and I’m pissed. I have no idea whether Mike Rice and Tim Pernetti are upset with being fired (Pernetti officially resigned, but if Rutgers would still have him, he would still be AD) at Rutgers for their roles in the abuse […]
by Kent Sterling Forget the Miracle on Ice. Super Bowl III when the Jets stunned to Colts was nothing. The Milan Miracle pales in comparison. Indiana going to the College World Series is the most unlikely happening in the history of organized athletics. This Hoosiers team is really good, but the historic mediocrity (I’m being […]
by Kent Sterling There are series where a game one road win is fool’s gold, and then there are those that foretell things to come. The last two champions lost game one in the Finals, righted the ship, one won the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Last night was not like the last two game ones. The […]
by Kent Sterling One of the parents of a teammate of my son’s AAU team would come up to me after losses and say, “Hard on my eyes.” That’s how I felt watching this debacle of a game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals. There will be plenty of time to reflect on the growth […]
Indiana Pacers – Game Six Is Time to Nut Up and Play for Each Other or Be Satisfied

by Kent Sterling “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” appears to be a phrase near and dear to the hearts of the Wrigley Field Rooftop Association. They email their literature to me on a regular basis, and appear to have misjudged my feelings toward them. The Cubs business office is run by an […]
by Kent Sterling Two years to the day since half of the most dynamic duo in Indianapolis radio since WIBC’s Kwesell & Crawford called it quits to take a job in St. Louis as program director of 101ESPN, Emmis Communications is proud to welcome back “Ahead of the Curve” with Hagan & Sterling beginning Saturday, […]
By Kent Sterling The NFL voted to approve the stadium under construction in Santa Clara, CA, and Reliant Stadium in Houston as the hosts of Super Bowl L and LI, and that sets the roster through 2017. The two cities most discussed for 2018 are Indianapolis and New Orleans. That’s a testament to the […]
by Kent Sterling I watched a movie early this morning – part of which took place at the Indy 500 – that described driving in the race “as a sacrifice of their lives so that millions of drivers could be safer.” That movie, “Speed” with Jimmy Stewart put into context what the race used to […]
