Cathedral Basketball – Jalen Coleman Talks About What He Needs to Do to Get Better
by Kent Sterling Jalen Coleman is two-and-a-half years away from playing big time college basketball somewhere. There are a lot of programs who like Jalen a whole lot – and rightly so – but in order to achieve his dreams, there are areas in his game in need of improvement. I didn’t tell Jalen that […]
by Kent Sterling I made $260 this morning selling $3,000 worth of stuff to people who will go to a flea market this weekend and make $3,000. That makes me an idiot. But $260 for one hour of sitting in the cold talking to strangers isn’t so bad. We had boxes and boxes of stuff […]
by Kent Sterling The toughest part of Colts coach Chuck Pagano’s job will be to manage the expectations of fans who incorrectly assess last year’s 11-5 record as just the beginning of things to come. I’ve spent the last two weeks watching the Colts season on nfl.com’s Game Rewind feature (the best $25 I’ve ever […]
Indiana Basketball – Collin Hartman Loves Basketball and His Mom
by Kent Sterling Good kid, this Collin Hartman. The Cathedral student will head to Bloomington in June to prepare for his freshman season at Indiana.

by Kent Sterling There are several people I know and respect who have told me that Indiana Basketball coach Tom Crean is an asshole. They worked with and around him when Crean coached at Marquette. They are good people who were treated poorly by Crean. I’m not a fan of assholes, so I’m constantly on […]
by Kent Sterling St. Louis is a very underrated town when it comes to fun. Before living here for almost two years, I had almost never visited since I was a kid. It didn’t take long to learn I made a mistake almost every time I opted no to make the 3 1/2 hour drive […]
This is an undoctored picture of White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, second baseman Chris Getz, and Royals first base coach Rusty Kuntz. No explanation needed. This’ll be repeated to the dismay of Lower level seat holders throughout the MLB for another 160 games if Getz gets on first, as Kuntz is the 1B coach. […]
by Kent Sterling There is one reason to watch a high school all-star basketball game like the McDonald’s All-American contest that was played last night in Chicago – to identify and assess the kids who will be freshman at the university of which you are a fan. After all, nobody has any affinity to one […]
