On October 30, Trey Kaufman will announce his decision to attend and play basketball at either Indiana, Purdue, North Carolina, Virginia, or Indiana State. That I know his choices and timeline creeps me out just a little. This is a high school senior from Sellersburg, Indiana, and I shouldn’t give a damn which of those schools he […]
For as long as I can remember, I have been a guy who liked to call BS on cowardly management, corrupt policies, and bad mojo. Until today. Arrogance needed to be exposed as an unholy violation against humanity, or at least I used to think so. Dishonesty? It needs to be decried as the most repellent trait […]
Now that the Colts possible positive COVD tests have been ruled negative, let’s get back to football! The Colts have an opportunity to win against a lesser opponent this Sunday, and they need to take full advantage of it.

Back then, the NBA had Michael Jordan, Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and others to feature. The league went […]
Now what? The Indiana Pacers were routed by the Miami Heat in their four games of postseason futility. A sweep is what their level of effort deserved, so yesterday’s 99-87 loss was delivered as expected. There are several pieces of good news, and some good news/bad news issues depending upon your perspective for the Pacers as […]
College football will likely not be played this fall. The MAC punted their season yesterday, and the Big 10 in likely to say adios tomorrow, according to reports. And that is bad news for everyone. Conversely, Big 10 universities plan of being open for business. Yes, the dorms, frats, and sororities will be filled with 18-to-22-year-olds […]
“About 50% get really cranky,” answered the Sam’s Club security guard tasked with reminding shoppers a mask is required attire for entrance. I had forgotten my mask, and when she reminded me, I thanked her. When I returned, I asked what percentage of people are upset when she reminds them. Whatever your belief is about […]
Some people do not deal well with stress. Given recent events, that seems to be the mantra of 2020. Covid-19 changed our lives in ways we never anticipated. Some gravitate toward the worst possible news of the Covid spread, and others embrace great news, whether it exists or not. Because of the effect of Covid, financial […]
