A kid who should be headed back to Evansville Reitz High School for his senior year reports to Indiana University’s campus, will begin workouts with the basketball team, and it is news. It’s more than a little creepy that a fanbase is so totally engaged in the comings and goings of a college hoops program […]
Clearly, the New England Patriots have not learned their lesson. Another scandal has led to another penalty that validates the risks they routinely take to gain an unfair advantage. This time the Patriots sent a video crew to Cleveland last December 8th to record the sidelines work of the Bengals a week ahead of their game in Cincinnati. […]
The absurd question behind live blackouts has always been, will fans buy the cow if the milk is free? The more germane question is, who buys a cow if they have never tasted milk? If people would choose to watch an event at home on TV instead of live, the event is in deep trouble. To behave as […]
College basketball is going to be fine, regardless of some excellent players opting to bounce straight to professional basketball.

On 1070 the Fan yesterday morning, Joe Staysniak made a series of statements that some might believe reflected racism. Those comments […]
Kentucky fires cheerleading coaches for allowing nude, drunk, and obscene behavior
“Nude, lewd, and drunk” might be printed on Kentucky’s state motto, but that’s no way to go through life, kids. Adults who encouraged that behavior at the University of Kentucky were fired today.
