Coach Rick Venturi explains why Tim Tebow can’t start at quarterback in the NFL
by Kent Sterling When I have a question about the NFL, I call Rick Venturi, one of the best and smartest defensive coaches in NFL history. Rick is able to remove all emotion from his analysis from one of the most polarizing figures in today’s NFL. People either love Tebow or are mystified by that […]
Susannah Collins firing shows how tenuous broadcasting careers can be
by Kent Sterling Managers of television and radio stations sometimes stand by their staff when upper management calls for action. Then again, sometimes they don’t. The folks at Comcast Sports Chicago acted quickly when reporter Susannah Collins used the word ‘sex’ instead of ‘success’, as in “the Blackhawks have had a tremendous amount of sex […]
by Kent Sterling Actually, the Indiana Pacers dropped two deuces, two triples, and three free throws in the fourth quarter, more specifically the last 4:48 of the fourth. Until that point, they were scoreless in the quarter. From the time that Jeff Pendergraph reported at 3:04 left in the third for one of the more […]
by Kent Sterling When I moved to Fishers, Indiana, in 1994, there were roughly 18,000 people who lived here. It was a strange little town that sprawled over a fairly enormous footprint of 35 square miles.

I’m good at trying things, and I’m also good at knowing when things fit and when they don’t. Despite working with some of the best people I’ve […]
by Kent Sterling The Cubs were in trouble. President of baseball ops Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer looked at their roster, and had no idea where the Cubs would find a workhorse to eat innings. Matt Garza couldn’t be counted on because of his elbow, and free agent acquisition Scott Baker was still […]
Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy
by Bert Beiswanger Last year during the Month of May, local microbrewery Flat12 Bierwerks brewed up a special beer in honor of affable Canadian and IZOD IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe. It was called the Hinchtown Hammer Down ale. Putting the hammer down is exactly what the Mayor of Hinchtown did Sunday, passing Takuma Sato in […]
by Kent Sterling For months, the knuckleheads in Chicago sportsradio and boobs who troll message boards have been eager to advice and criticize Bulls guard Derrick Rose for not playing after being cleared by his doctors. Derrick can thank his brother Reggie for all this noise. The Bulls will open their Eastern Conference Semifinals tonight […]
