by Kent Sterling Jeez. Who’s in charge over at Rutgers? Not two months after basketball coach Mike Rice was told to pack a box after years of verbal and physical abuse were revealed in hilarious and horrifying practice videos, Deadspin has uncovered his replacement never earned the degree he has claimed to. Yep. Eddie Jordan […]
by Kent Sterling The quest to get every call right is killing the momentum of a great great, and those interruptions are going to become more frequent during the 2013-2014 college basketball season. Here are the changes, as reported by ESPN: Refs can now go to the monitor in the final two minutes to check […]

In Chicago, DePaul University plays in a place near O’Hare Airport that qualifies as a college arena in the same way Rosie O’Donnell […]
by Kent Sterling Be honest. If your job was to assemble a winning team in the NFL, would you sign currently unemployed quarterback Tim Tebow? Most GMs would sell their children for another win or two, so if Tebow was a guy who could provide that, he would have a gig. All else being equal […]
by Kent Sterling When there were a few more boxes than I would like in our attic, the Sterlings had a family garage sale where we netted $500. Bob Knight is evidently not a fan of garage sales. His junk is available for sale at auction on Steinersports.com. To be fair, there is some one-of-a-kind memorabilia […]
by Bert Beiswanger A few days ago, I wrote a piece praising the excitement in the IZOD IndyCar Series right now and the refreshing new storylines heading into the Month of May and the 2013 Indy 500: Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy One exciting thing I didn’t touch on is the fact […]
