When Paul George returns to Indy December 13th, silence should greet him
August 15, 2017

Paul George looked so forward to bolting Indianapolis that he let his destination be known when free agency allowed in the summer of 2018.. The Lakers are where he wants to play, and the Lakers have crept quite close to tampering in letting it be known they covet him. It’s a marriage made in purple […]

Top 10 reasons to be very optimistic about the Pacers in 2016-2017
July 11, 2016

The Indiana Pacers have enjoyed an offseason of under the radar activity that improved the team marginally with every stroke. Kevin Durant generated headlines by leaving Oklahoma City for Golden State, but the Pacers have built a team better suited to playing winning basketball compared to last year’s version. In fact, they might emerge from […]

Top 10 reasons Frank Vogel should leave the Indiana Pacers regardless of whether he is invited to return
May 4, 2016

Frank Vogel likely doesn’t know at this moment whether he will invited to return as the coach of the Indiana Pacers (Larry Bird will hold a press conference tomorrow at 11a to talk about this and other topics), but that shouldn’t keep him from making the call on his own future. Leaving the Pacers is […]

Top 10 questions about long term direction of the soon-to-be eliminated Indiana Pacers
April 22, 2016

It’s easy to overreact to a debacle like last night’s Indiana Pacers loss to the Toronto Raptors. The Pacers failed to compete and were never in the game. From the brief moment the Pacers led 9-8 until the clock mercifully expired, the team assembled by Larry Bird and led by Frank Vogel failed to match […]

November 23, 2015

2015 is an odd year for sports fans in central Indiana. Optimists have plenty of reason to feel smart, but pessimists are justified in their negative thoughts. The Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers (basketball & football), Bulldogs, and Boilermakers (basketball) are all teetering between realizing their goals and falling off a cliff. Fascinating times provide a fascinating […]

Producer change on Kent Sterling Show – like all staff changes – allow for growth
October 15, 2015

by Kent Sterling Being a radio producer is not a career destination; it’s a step toward something else – an opportunity to host, sell, or manage. So when my producer for the first 16 months of my show, an affable and diligent young man named Nick Bosak, told me he was leaving the show to […]

The Kent Sterling Show on CBS Sports 1430 – Why sports and nothing but sports? Because it is what we do best!
July 8, 2015

by Kent Sterling Sportstalk radio has evolved on many stations into guy talk. Some hosts are more adept at talking about their favorite song than their favorite athlete. That’s fine. Every host should execute the show he is best at. For me, I like sports. The games and those who compete in them are fascinating. […]

As the Hoosiers and Pacers beat untalented/depleted teams, there is no need for apology
February 23, 2015

by Kent Sterling Late in the afternoon yesterday, Indiana took the court against Rutgers University, and it was clear the Hoosiers would roll over the confused and apathetic Scarlett Knights. The Pacers went to work as the Hoosiers game reached halftime against the team with the best record in the NBA – without the best […]

Stephenson Back on Pacers’ Terms – I’d Take That
January 16, 2015

by Bert Beiswanger Long before I read the trade rumors today involving Charlotte, Oklahoma City and Brooklyn and Lance Stephenson, I re-visited the idea of the Pacers re-acquiring “Born Ready.” As we know, rumors swirled weeks ago that Charlotte is interested in ending the Lance Stephenson experiment. Charlotte Hornets executive extraordinaire Michael Jordan can’t handle Lance […]
