by Kent Sterling There are gatherers, and there are hoarders. I live in the middle. Anything with even a shred of emotional value gets a place in a box, to be disturbed only when we move or when capacity is reached in the attic or garage. We are at capacity after the move back from […]
by Kent Sterling He sounded like an autumn Sunday. Pat Summerall made it sound so easy and fun that for a time, he defined excellence in broadcasting. Summerall was so good that many fans had no idea that he had actually played in the NFL as a kicker for 10 years for the Lions, Cardinals, […]
by Kent Sterling Since newer stadiums started pampering players as the rock stars they believe they are, opposing players have hated Wrigley Field. Former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen raised hell about seeing rats. Now Lance Berkman becomes the latest to squawk about the lack of comfort in one of baseball’s great Cathedrals. “It’s one […]
by Kent Sterling A few years ago, my boss walked into a department head meeting and said, “I like all of you, but I love my family.” If Matt Painter didn’t say that in words this week as three Boilermakers have departed for parts unknown, the message is clear. What happened last season will not […]
by Kent Sterling The video is terrible. Runners fell to the ground immediately after the explosion. Pictures of severed limbs and the three who died are all over the networks, websites, and newspapers. The question is being asked in every home, “Are we safe?” The answer is no. There is good news in that the […]
by Kent Sterling I’ve finally had it with this smarmy intellectual creep. Cubs owner Tom Ricketts has finally gone too far – way too far – in campaigning for what is now the framework of an agreement for expanding the profitability of Wrigley Field and the area near it. There is language for additional night […]

by Kent Sterling Roughly 100 4A high schools in Indiana started the state tourney with dreams of cutting down the nets in Bankers Life Fieldhouse as champions. Cathedral played in that game and lost. The hurt lingers despite being one of two teams to make it to the ultimate game. Collin Hartman talks about his […]
Collin Hartman Talks About Indiana University Basketball
by Kent Sterling Collin Hartman played for the basketball championship of the state that treats the game like a religion. He is an Indiana all-star from Cathedral High School, and next year will join the refurbished historic program of Indiana University. And Hartman can’t wait to get started. Like so many of those players recruited […]
by Kent Sterling The St. Louis Cardinals are routinely very good. Making the postseason in nine of the last 13 seasons demonstrates consistency that most franchises covet, but the 2013 edition has an achilles heel that Jason Motte’s injury has allowed to become a problem. The bullpen is weak. Despite the addition of Trevor Rosenthal […]
by Kent Sterling For two straight years, Indiana coach Tom Crean has rolled through the spring with too many players committed for the 13 scholarships the NCAA allots, and for the second year he has looked damn smart in doing it. There are some who worry about the morality of overpromising scholarships without having a […]
