by Kent Sterling After the games to open the season against the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagle, the schedule softens, and the Indianapolis Colts should be able to claim another AFC South crown without anything resembling a challenge. That presupposes a reasonable level of health – meaning quarterback Andrew Luck remains ambulatory. He is the […]
by Kent Sterling The media can be an oily serpent that cruises for targets – a well-known person who says something damning in a moment of weakness, dunderheadedness, or honesty. When talking to the media, steering clear of subjects where nuance is needed to understand a point being made is wise because for every ten […]
by Kent Sterling Allowing bureaucrats unfettered access to a microphone is always an adventure, and Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby took advantage with a rambling diatribe that accused the NCAA enforcement staff of being inert in the battle against cheating. “Enforcement is broken,” Bowlsby said. “The infractions committee hasn’t had a hearing in almost a […]

by Kent Sterling Free agents have come off the board one by one, and now Lance Stephenson is among the best remaining along with Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe and Detroit Pistons big Greg Monroe.
