by Kent Sterling Whether the Indiana Pacers win or lose tonight’s Game Five, fans at Bankers Life Fieldhouse should take the time to do two things – enjoy watching this group play together, and thank them for the total body of work they cobbled together during a weird, weird year.

by Kent Sterling Against some of the highest ranked boy’s basketball players in the country, Indiana’s own EG10 Central Stars 17 & under team finished the unique regular season of the Adidas Gauntlet with a 14-2 record. This is nothing new for coach Pat Mullin who has won with lesser known talent in the past. […]

by Kent Sterling For a bad team on track to lose nearly 100 games for the fourth season in a row, the Chicago Cubs sure don’t mind inviting criticism in new and creative ways. Cubs president Theo Epstein announced the signing of 41-year old former major leaguer Manny Ramirez to a minor league contract as […]
by Kent Sterling The 2013-2014 season isn’t over yet for the Indiana Pacers, but the odds of a trip to the NBA Finals grew long as the buzzer sounded following the Heat’s 102-90 victory in Game Four. Coming back from the 3-1 deficit the Pacers currently face is a tough putt. In the 222 times […]

At the downtown Indianapolis Kilroy’s, no Pacers fan felt confident, and no Heat fan was unsure they would find a way to win.

by Kent Sterling When Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals is tonight, the Indy 500 is tomorrow, and Colts owner Jim Irsay was charged with two misdemeanors yesterday, hosting a sportstalk show like sitting in a sports bar having a conversation. That is the good fortune of Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and […]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is an addict. He has a disease, and doing time is going to do nothing to change that, so the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office filed charges two C misdemeanors related to his March 16 arrest. Is there a double standard at work here? Would you or I […]
