by Kent Sterling Quarterback controversies get unsure coaches fired, and two things are beyond question with the New England Patriots – there is no quarterback controversy, and Bill Belichick is not unsure. What Tim Tebow will do for the Patriots is anyone’s guess. He could be an H-back, a tight end, a fullback, a change […]
by Kent Sterling Evelyn Lozada was engaged to former NBA star Antoine Walker, now bankrupt after earning $108,142,015 during a 13-year NBA career. She was also married for one month to Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson, who was sentenced to thirty days in jail today for acting like a tool in a Broward County (FL) courtroom. […]
by Kent Sterling At some point, you have no choice but to get pissed, and I’m pissed. I have no idea whether Mike Rice and Tim Pernetti are upset with being fired (Pernetti officially resigned, but if Rutgers would still have him, he would still be AD) at Rutgers for their roles in the abuse […]
by Kent Sterling The Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers are going to Omaha as one of eight college baseball programs with a chance to win the national championship, in one of the most improbable turnarounds of a collegiate sports program in the history of the NCAA. Indiana Baseball hasn’t been routinely bad, but given the scarcity of the eight […]
by Kent Sterling Forget the Miracle on Ice. Super Bowl III when the Jets stunned to Colts was nothing. The Milan Miracle pales in comparison. Indiana going to the College World Series is the most unlikely happening in the history of organized athletics. This Hoosiers team is really good, but the historic mediocrity (I’m being […]
by Kent Sterling Bob “Slick” Leonard has made a living from playing, coaching, and describing professional basketball for almost 60 years, so when he talks, the NBA should listen. What Slick wants is for the constant kibitzing between players and referees to stop, and he’s right. The jabbering to officials does nothing to enhance the […]
The best investment of time you can make on a Saturday is to listen to “Ahead of the Curve” with Chris Hagan and Kent Sterling at www.1070thefan.com or in the Indianapolis area on 1070AM or 107.5FM from 11a-1p. We jam at least three hours of content into every two hour show, and that saves you an […]
by Kent Sterling There are series where a game one road win is fool’s gold, and then there are those that foretell things to come. The last two champions lost game one in the Finals, righted the ship, one won the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Last night was not like the last two game ones. The […]
by Kent Sterling Charlie Coles died today, and that’s a sad thing for college basketball. Having retired 15 months ago, Coles barely had any time at all to enjoy being away from the game. The game sure didn’t enjoy having him away from it. I spent a single day with Coles seven years ago when […]
Polka Boy Tonight at the Rathskeller – Accordionist Jeff Russell Tells Story of Singing “Back in Black” as Ethel Merman
by Kent Sterling My enjoyment of Polka Boy on a beautiful Friday night as the Rathskeller in Indianapolis is well-documented. That tradition is one that I honor every single time it happens. I wrote a little bit about Polka Boy opening the biergarten earlier in the spring, and accordionist Jeff Russell was nice enough to […]
