by Kent Sterling There have been a few times among a long line of accurate predictions where I have erred, and Jim Harbaugh agreeing to become the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines has made me as wrong as I have ever been about anything. To the end, I said over and over that until […]
by Kent Sterling Roughly 25% of NFL and NBA coaches are fired at the end of a typical season, but that almost never happens in Indianapolis because franchises here are well run by consistent, prudent, and mostly trusting owners. The Indianapolis Colts have enjoyed a rarely achieved level of consistent quality and results while the […]
by Kent Sterling Indiana Basketball continues to tantalize and taunt in equal measure. Talent and scheme show stretches that give fans reason for hope, then moments of borderline incompetence have fans on their feet screaming at the TV or court. Is Indiana a team on the come, or are they as mediocre as many thought […]
by Kent Sterling NBA Basketball is a weird game. Paying close attention is sometimes difficult. My mind wanders when it appears that the minds of the players wander. Last night, I watched the Indiana Pacers beat the New Orleans Pelicans from start to finish because they appeared to be engaged for the full 48 minutes. […]
by Kent Sterling Last night, Purdue and Nebraska lost to teams they were supposed to beat in Gardner-Webb and Hawaii. Indiana beat a team it was supposed to by 20 points – the inept Privateers of New Orleans. Actually, I haven’t seen New Orleans play, so calling them inept is uninformed commentary. Hard to blame […]
by Kent Sterling So much to write about the Indianapolis Colts, so little time. The Colts confirmed what they are – again – in a humiliating loss in Dallas.

Soon-to-be former baseball commissioner Bud Selig has no use nor need for a 401K as Major League Baseball is going to pay the 80-year old $6-million each year in perpetuity […]
by Kent Sterling For an in-demand guy trying to get hired as a coach, setting the price is easy – leak an offer that may or may not be real for a job in which you have no interest. Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers are going to part ways after this season. Under […]
by Kent Sterling Hating Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is easy. He’s a petulant mope who appears to shrug and pout as often as Tom Brady drops f-bombs, Andrew Luck congratulates defensive players, and Peyton Manning yells “Omaha!” But it’s not Cutler’s fault that he isn’t living up to his contract. He didn’t offer himself […]
by Kent Sterling Dropping a series of self-directed F-bombs during a violent football game where lives and fortunes can change with one hit seems to be a reasonable response to adversity. Tom Brady is one of the marquee players of America’s game, and cameras/microphones are trained on him throughout every game he plays, and when […]
