by Kent Sterling Dan Dakich is one of my favorite sportsradio hosts because he says interesting things and is able to back them up with an impressive litany of reasons. The only national media person to say that the Pacers are the better team, you disagree with Dan at your own peril. He’s not always […]
Coach Rick Venturi Talks About the How Indianapolis Colts Fans’ Expectations Should Be Adjusted
by Kent Sterling Given the points scored by the Indianapolis Colts and the points scored against them, the Indianapolis Colts should have won 7.2 games, according to pro-football-reference.com. Their record was 11-5. Overachieving by 3.8 wins is a remarkable accomplishment, but should fans anticipate a similar season in 2013 with Andrew Luck moving into his […]
by Kent Sterling Today is Carb Day. It features the final practice prior to the running of the 97th Indianapolis 500. RVs and tents pop up in the Coke Lot and at the corner of Camp and Brew. A middling rock band plays for thousands of way overserved knuckleheads – this year it’s Poison. And […]
by Kent Sterling Seven game series are great fun. Today, Pacers fans are saying that tonight’s game is a must win, and so are Heat fans. A loss at home, and the Pacers have their opening. The Heat sweep the first two, and the Pacers must be perfect at home. With a win in tonight’s […]
by Bert Beiswanger When you watch the television broadcast (or re-broadcast) of this year’s Indianapolis 500 on ABC, you’re sure to be entertained and educated by the knowledge and experience of 1998 Indianapolis 500 winner Eddie Cheever.

The writing for the first “Hangover” was clever as hell. Surprises came so quickly that the movie seemed as randomly constructed as real life. The second has less laughs, […]
by Kent Sterling Two years to the day since half of the most dynamic duo in Indianapolis radio since WIBC’s Kwesell & Crawford called it quits to take a job in St. Louis as program director of 101ESPN, Emmis Communications is proud to welcome back “Ahead of the Curve” with Hagan & Sterling beginning Saturday, […]
by Bert Beiswanger Not long after the Indiana Pacers lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Miami Heat on a last second layup by LeBron James, much of the post-game criticism turned to coach Frank Vogel’s decision not to have Roy Hibbert on the floor during the last possession.

Donald Davidson Talks About the Great Career of Racer Jim Hurtubise
by Kent Sterling I always liked Indy 500 veteran Jim Hurtubise because of the wacky stories about his career as a prankster, not because of his driving prowess. Donald Davidson is the historian of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and he recalls the excellence of his driving skills.
by Kent Sterling The 32 NFL general managers can breathe easy this morning. Finally, actor Chuck Norris has provided his much sought after and invaluable evaluation of Tim Tebow as a quarterback. Tebow’s detractors thought that the NFL’s reluctance to employ Tebow had something to do with his mechanics that lead to inaccuracy. His supporters […]
