November Football Leftovers – The ODB Jr. Catch, T-Rich and College Playoffs
by Bert Beiswanger The most enjoyable football player for me to watch this past month has been Odell Beckham, Jr. His ascent from the injury list to a must-see player has been awesome. Within a couple games, it was clear the rookie was the most talented player on the New York Giants roster. Beckham is […]
by Bert Beiswanger Sunday was one of those perfect sports days in Indianapolis. The city was front and center on ABC for the better part of six hours – first for Indy 500 qualifying and then the much anticipated Game 1 Eastern Conference Finals match-up between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat. All the while, […]
by Kent Sterling When it comes to figuring out what’s going on this weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, don’t be a dumbass like I was until an hour ago. In this morning’s Breakfast with Kent, I blathered on about the weather a bit, and closed by saying people in central Indiana should head to […]
by Bert Beiswanger The Month of May is off to unique start this year with the first weekend of activities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway being occupied by the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

Creative […]
by Kent Sterling The Indy 500 was a better event in 1992, and every year prior than it is today. The legacy of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing is one of innovation, speed, and safety. Over the last 17 years, the speeds have slowed, the innovation has stagnated, and safety is sadly not a point […]
by Bert Beiswanger Predicting the pole winner going into Saturday as qualifications took place for the 2013 Indy 500 was as unpredictable as the weather. But the weather delay didn’t dampen the excitement, nor the enthusiasm from the crowd as Indianapolis’ own Ed Carpenter won the honor to pace the field of 33 for the […]
by Bert Beiswanger A few days ago, I wrote a piece praising the excitement in the IZOD IndyCar Series right now and the refreshing new storylines heading into the Month of May and the 2013 Indy 500: Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy One exciting thing I didn’t touch on is the fact […]
