by Kent Sterling Andre Dawson had one of the quickest bats in major league history, a cannon for a right arm, and now is using another asset to help owner Tom Ricketts find his checkbook – the truth. Dawson spoke with the Chicago Sun-Times Gordon Whittenmyer and said some insightful and obvious things: “I never thought […]
The NFL Draft will continue at Noon today with rounds four through seven, but to this point no team has helped itself more than the St. Louis Rams. They play in the brutally tough NFC West along with the 49ers and Seahawks, but while those two teams continue to get the headlines, the Rams just […]
UFC is a weird sport in that people are either devoted to it or totally disinterested in it. So either you know and respect Dana White, or you have never heard of him. UFC 159 will be held tonight in Newark, and available in your home on pay-per-view for $54.95. That a whole bunch of […]
There haven’t been too many players the Pacers dealt or lost through free agency that are worth wishing well. It would take a fan of generous spirit to hope for the success of Jermaine O’Neal, Stephen Jackson, Jamal Tinsley, and affable psycho Ron Metta World Artest Peace, but Jarrett Jack was different.

For others, it’s the Masters. For the especially impatient, it’s the running of […]
by Kent Sterling No question there is great drama in both the elation and disappointment by the young men on hand for the NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall. Inevitably there are a couple who are blessed by being taken before they were projected, and there is also the annual poor sap who sits […]
by Kent Sterling The Colts hope the extra ‘e’ in Bjoern stands for effort, excellence, and efficiency. The shiniest new Colt was projected much higher in the draft before the pedestrian 4.83 Bjoern Werner ran at the Combine, but football isn’t a track meet. Unique sets of athletic skills yield different levels of productivity on […]
by Kent Sterling One thing Rams fans know for sure is that Rams GM Les Snead and coach Jeff Fisher aren’t concerned with where the NFL decides they should choose in the first round. Last year, they traded down twice to wind up at #14 where they took DT Michael Brockers, and this year they […]
