A lot has to go right for any team to win the Super Bowl, but for a 20-1 longshot like the Indianapolis Colts with some pieces of the puzzle withering and others yet to blossom, it will require great health, luck, and leadership. The Colts went a very pedestrian 8-8 last year despite splashy free agent […]
by Kent Sterling It wouldn’t be a shock if the NFL runs public opinion polling with the same regularity as the White House when determining which course of action to take in a decision like the response likely to be announced this week to the Tom Brady appeal. Sadly, because of the vacillation the NFL […]
by Kent Sterling Reports on ESPN.com suggest that the NFL and New England Patriots are involved in back channel discussions to resolve issues with Deflategate penalties. If Roger Goodell has any authority at all over the NFL, the solution is easy for the Patriots – take your medicine or pack a lunch. Either the NFL […]
by Kent Sterling The NFL has no problem suspending players for extended periods because they get stoned, but a cheater is now expected to earn only a two-to-four game suspension for violating a rule that resulted in his team gaining a significant competitive advantage.

by Kent Sterling Attorneys are like magicians – everyone knows they are tricking us with sleight of speech and misdirection, but the good ones keep us guessing in wonderment.

I hate the New England Patriots – a miserable organization that values winning over all else, and that’s why the NFL is constantly uncovering rule violations used by Kraft/Belichick/Brady to gain an unfair advantage. To very loosely paraphrase Dean Vernon Wormer in Animal House, “Believing that victory thru […]
by Bert Beiswanger Let’s make one thing clear: No one blames the Indianapolis Colts throttling at the hands of the New England Patriots on deflated footballs. Most Colts fans and Indy media are more concerned with with coaching/personnel/in-ability to make adjustments – any adjustment – that led to the embarrassment of a conference title game. […]
by Kent Sterling Sunday’s AFC Championship will send one of two flawed teams to the Super Bowl. Which one, we don’t know. That’s why America will be riveted to this matchup with generational undertones. There are so many unknowns that projecting an outcome is silly, although I’ll do it today on my radio show (3p-6p […]
by Bert Beiswanger Let’s not sugar coat this, folks: The Colts beat an average football team Sunday. They don’t need to apologize for that – a win in the NFL Playoffs is a great win. But the fact is the Bengals came into the game without # 2 wide receiver Marvin Jones (out all year), […]
