by Kent Sterling Illinois serves as a wonderful counterpoint to Indiana in so many ways. For the last two days, I spent a considerable amount of time talking on the radio (3p-6p on CBS Sports 1430) about IU basketball player Devin Davis being cited for weed possession. Then I start reading about the University of […]
by Kent Sterling Tom Crean is employed by Indiana University to execute a number of tasks, but they each fit under the umbrella of the running most visible and powerful marketing initiative IU has available to attract attention and students. Each player and coach of Indiana’s basketball team is a high profile representative of the […]
by Kent Sterling Richard Nixon cheated to win the 1972 election, and Tom Brady is fingered in the Wells Report as someone who cheated to gain an advantage on the gridiron. Both were unnecessary. Nixon refused to turn over his audio tapes of meetings where crooked election tactics were planned and debriefed, but screwed up […]
by Kent Sterling The NFL has no problem suspending players for extended periods because they get stoned, but a cheater is now expected to earn only a two-to-four game suspension for violating a rule that resulted in his team gaining a significant competitive advantage.

by Kent Sterling Attorneys are like magicians – everyone knows they are tricking us with sleight of speech and misdirection, but the good ones keep us guessing in wonderment.

I hate the New England Patriots – a miserable organization that values winning over all else, and that’s why the NFL is constantly uncovering rule violations used by Kraft/Belichick/Brady to gain an unfair advantage. To very loosely paraphrase Dean Vernon Wormer in Animal House, “Believing that victory thru […]
by Kent Sterling In most cities, columnists and radio hosts routinely monitor each other to see what plot of intellectual territory goes unclaimed, and they plant their flag there. If one guy says the local NFL team had a great draft, another will say it was atrocious. Journalism isn’t a matter of honest and heartfelt […]
by Kent Sterling As Indiana had again oversigned recruits for the incoming freshman class, it was clear that a few Hoosiers would need to either transfer or declare for the NBA Draft. Jeremiah April seemed a logical choice, and he cooperated by announcing last week that he would jump ship. April joins freshman Max Hoetzel […]
by Kent Sterling Minus historically great or terrible drafts, it takes years to figure out exactly how good or bad a pro football draft is, but the Colts look to have spackled a couple of holes and welcomed a game changer to a team hoping to win another Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Colts addressed some […]
