by Kent Sterling When fans care more than the players, it’s time to re-plate the front page of our lives. Can’t people present an opinion anymore without those who disagree losing their minds? For whatever reason, recently I have been assailed for voicing a variety of opinions, and I just don’t get it. Because I […]

by Kent Sterling Before I even begin writing, I want you to be aware that everything I embrace in this post represents pie in the sky ideals from a time long past that cannot return. Tom Crean might as well submit a letter of resignation as adopt any of these philosophies. I know they are […]
