by Kent Sterling March Madness doesn’t exist in Kentucky; it’s just Madness because it runs through all 12 months. There are crosstown rivalries like the Cubs and White Sox, Jets vs. Giants, and college football’s Michigan vs. Ohio State, but there is nothing quite like college basketball’s Louisville vs. Kentucky locking horns in March.

by Kent Sterling KentSterling.com tells the truth through the eyes of Kent Sterling, which makes it inherently unique. That’s pretty simple. That’s the brand, and everything posted here reinforces it. The drive to tell the truth isn’t a marketing position, but the only thing I believe to be worth my time and effort. Writing is […]
