Chicago Cubs – 3B Kris Bryant May Solidify Infield for a Generation
by Kent Sterling The Chicago Cubs may be totally bereft of quality pitching in the minor leagues, but if second overall pick in last night’s MLB Draft is as good as most believe, they are going to to be set across the infield for a long time to come. The infield third to first, as […]
by Kent Sterling The deal isn’t done yet, but it appears LSU will open their 2014 season against Wisconsin in Reliant Stadium. The quid pro quo is likely to bring LSU to Lambeau Field as the season opener in 2017. And I like it. LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva told the media at the SEC […]
by Bert Beiswanger I should’ve taken a B-12 vitamin prior to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. I’m told they work well to prevent the pain of hangovers – not that I would know. What I do know is we’ve been here before. For all the Indiana Pacers accomplished, Tuesday felt like a hangover […]
by Kent Sterling Running backs don’t get healthier with age. Even Ahmad Bradshaw – a 27-year-old coming off a 1,015 yard season for the New York Giants has seen his best days.

by Kent Sterling I’m not sure whether Chicago Cubs General Manager is an idiot, full of crap, or made an inept effort to cover for his team yesterday on Buster Olney’s podcast. Below are quotes followed by unpleasant realities: “Usually you draft starters in the draft, and a lot of the best relievers are failed […]
by Kent Sterling What should have been a time of glee and excitement for incoming athletic director Julie Hermann became something else entirely when Rutgers University’s slapdash vetting work got a boost from the Neward Star-Ledger. The perfect candidate became quite flawed as some rudimentary journalistic shaking of trees dislodged some fruit that landed on […]
by Kent Sterling Today on 1070 the Fan in Indianapolis, Dan Dakich talked about how Biogenesis head Tony Bosch is a “Bag”. and of course he’s right. Hard to argue against that designation being thrown at a guy who only tells the truth when threatened by doom and ruin. The truth should be told because […]
by Kent Sterling When the benefits of breaking the rules outweigh the penalties, corruption will prevail. That’s true in any business, and it’s why baseball continues to be mired in the seemingly endless cycle of performance enhancing drugs scandals. In simpler terms – it pays to cheat.
