by Kent Sterling Ignorance is always stunning to me, especially when expressed by those whose thoughts on addiction begin and end with, “They should just stop using,” and “They deserve what they get!” Understanding the addictions that plague Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is very difficult for some, who view his drug use as a […]
I always feel a bit silly trying to figure out what’s going on in the heads of 16 year-old basketball players during summer tournaments like the Adidas Gauntlet – Indianapolis that wrapped up yesterday in Fishers, Indiana. There are players who look good one game and terrible the next, and deciding which represents the real […]
by Kent Sterling So the future of the Indianapolis bid to host Super Bowl LII rests in the performance of Indiana Sports Corp President Allison Melangton and former Colts All-Pro center Jeff Saturday. They have an uphill battle against New Orleans and a new stadium in Minneapolis, but perhaps the positive memory of what many […]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Colts all-time sacks lead Robert Mathis used Clomid under a doctor’s supervision to try to get his boys to swim stronger and truer, his wife became pregnant, and in a ridiculous overreach by the NFL he has been suspended for the first four games of the 2014 season. And a lot […]
by Kent Sterling The potential for the Pacers to suffer a down is high tomorrow night. The Heat didn’t win back-to-back championships by not knowing how to respond to adversity. Paul George and the Pacers should expect a much more frenetic defensive effort from the Heat tomorrow night. Yesterday, the Heat embarrassed themselves by going […]
by Kent Sterling The Game One performance of the Miami Heat is not going to be repeated. Lethargic, slow, indifferent, imprecise – the Heat were all of that and less. Champions don’t back up a miserable effort with another one very often. As much as fans would like to believe that this relatively easy win […]
by Kent Sterling There are some very tall and talented athletes playing basketball at the Fishers Fieldhouse today. Some of the guys that you be watching for the next decade – cheered by millions – are playing in front of friends and family just down the street. Not that fans of great basketball should head […]
by Kent Sterling What the hell kind of operation is being run at 1060 West Addison by Cubs owner Tom Ricketts? The onfield product is a total mess, and likely to get worse with the annual July garage sale of valuable parts, but a visit to Wrigley Field for the 100th anniversary celebration of the […]
by Kent Sterling It feels like yesterday that Frank Vogel was tabbed as the interim replacement for Jim O’Brien in January of 2011. When I moved back to Indianapolis last summer after a brief sabbatical in St. Louis, the first person I interviewed was Vogel. I was still fascinated by his route to becoming an […]
by Kent Sterling The Indiana Pacers route to the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals was a lot like the Griswold Family’s trek to Walley World in “National Lampoon’s Vacation.” Twists and turns were everywhere. Nothing went as planned despite a lot of work on the itinerary. But the joy in reaching the long anticipated destination is […]
