by Kent Sterling With all the crap that passes as wisdom during press conferences in sports today, it’s a pleasure to watch Indiana Pacers Re-President Larry Bird tell the truth for awhile, even when he divulges very little. When Bird is asked a question, he answers honestly, even when he doesn’t want to answer the […]
by Kent Sterling It would be great if people who cheat weren’t rewarded. Bankers ruin the economy, and go sailing on their 60-foot Fountaine-Pajot Eleuthera clippers. CEOs burn companies to the ground, and receive an obscene bonus that could feed 1,000 families for a decade. And college football coaches cheat to recruit talent, and run […]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz has reported that Larry Bird will return to the Indiana Pacers in his former role as president of basketball operations. Current general manager Kevin Pritchard will be the number two guy, and Donnie Walsh will slide into a role as consultant. This is good news for Pacers […]
by Kent Sterling Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder this afternoon, and was subsequently denied bail. That means an unpleasant and lonely period of waiting for Hernandez, and a worse time for sports fans who would rather talk sports than forensics. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter […]

by Kent Sterling New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been arrested by the North Attleboro Police and released by the New England Patriots. Many will say that the Patriots have acted prematurely, having released Hernandez without even knowing what charges are being brought against their tight end, but this the right move at […]
Wacky Brazilians Distract Viewers from Paying Attention to RTV6 Newscast
by Kent Sterling Depending upon you taste in newscasts, people leaping up and down with signs as they protest something or another can either be a nuisance of hilarious diversion. Tonight on RTV6 – yes, I watch a lot of RTV6 because it’s either good for the right reasons or great for the wrong ones. […]
by Kent Sterling Banning marijuana use by professional athletes is just silly, and if that was the substance for which Colts wide receiver LaVon Brazill tested positive, the commissioner Roger Goodell should jot a note of apology and reinstate him before his four game suspension begins. The penalty for marijuana use is the effect it […]
by Kent Sterling It’s always a little unpleasant to read that a formerly great baseball player has been designated for assignment.
