Path to playoffs clear for Colts; Pacers starters shine, but bench loses! Breakfast with Kent

Baseball is wearing me out through its apparent indifference to fans, but I likely won’t feel a lot better about it when they finally start playing. The MLB Players Association made a counter offer yesterday to the owners counter offer, and so it will go until finally commissioner Rob Manfred orders players back for a 48 […]
The 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve the four-game suspension originally handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in deflating the footballs to be used by the Pats offense during the 2014 AFC Championship. Of course, this was nothing but a procedural […]
by Kent Sterling Cheaters are always compared to our nation’s 37th president who resigned in disgrace after cheating throughout the 1972 presidential election process that resulted in his re-election. At first, Richard Nixon consistently denied that cheating occurred, and later that he had any knowledge of whatever cheating had been done. Alexander Butterfield dropped the […]

by Kent Sterling Only one thing could cause significant erosion of support among NFL owners for Roger Goodell to remain in his role as commissioner of the NFL, and that is an attack on their wallets. Goodell could have twerked and farted at the podium during yesterday’s ineffective press conference, and still the owners would […]
by Kent Sterling Bad news for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell rolled in again yesterday as Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston was suspended by Florida State for the first half of Saturday’s game against Clemson for jumping on a table and screaming “F**k her right in the p***y!” Goodell is hiding under his desk while […]
by Kent Sterling When people are comfortable telling only part of the truth, trouble ensues. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell went seriously old school politician yesterday during an interview with CBS News Norah O’Donnell, who did a more than credible job in asking the right questions. Goodell tried to appear earnest while dodging, dipping, and ducking. […]
