by Kent Sterling Conspiracy theorists among basketball fans will see the offer to and commitment from Evan Gordon as a prelude to a kiss for his brother Eron. Evan is a 6’1, 187 lbs., graduate eligible transfer from Arizona State, who began his collegiate career at Liberty. Now, he’s coming home to spend one year […]
Coach Rick Venturi Loves the Rams 2013 Draft Class
by Kent Sterling When the Rams concluded their rookie minicamp last weekend, people marveled at the explosiveness of #8 overall pick WR Tavon Austin. There was also high praise for LB Alec Ogletree of Georgia. If they are as good as advertised when the season starts, this draft class will mark the second where GM […]
by Kent Sterling The pundits thought the Knicks would play like caged animals. Their backs to the wall, the Knicks surely would claw like rabid wolverines to even up the series tonight.

Growing up in Lake Bluff, Illinois, every kid spent his allowance at White’s Variety Store. Mr. White stocked his shelves with candy, baseball cards, inexpensive toys, […]
Coach Rick Venturi Loves Colts 2013 Draft Class
by Kent Sterling The 2012 draft for the Colts yielded some spectacular results. Andrew Luck, Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, T.Y. Hilton, and Vick Ballard headlined the class, and whether it was because the rest of the cupboard was bare, or because these guys were just that good, it went a long way toward producing a […]
by Kent Sterling If the home of the Chicago Cubs is in doubt, the player who will man first base for the next decade or so is not. Anthony Rizzo has signed a seven-year, $41-million extension with an additional two-year club option that could drive the value to $60-million. This deal is a slightly less […]
by Kent Sterling People disliking each other is not just a part of life, it’s good for business in sports. Sergio Garcia was supposed to be a challenger for Tiger Woods from the time he exploded on the PGA Tour as a teenager. Now 33, he’s won only eight times on the tour, has been […]
