by Kent Sterling Football surprises last weekend? Not in Indiana. First the good – the Indianapolis Colts were dominant for the second straight week in a league where parity is king, and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame hammered the type of team that it should. Purdue fought like hell through the first half against […]
by Kent Sterling Life is short, so when people ask me to do something that can cause no damage to my health or the well-being of my family, I say yes. That philosophy has given me a wide breadth of experiences, and I’ve enjoyed most of them, so when I got an email yesterday from […]
by Kent Sterling Not sure what ESPN pundit Bill Simmons was trying to accomplish when he called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a liar, and dared ESPN management to punish him for doing so, but if he wanted some time off – mission accomplished. Simmons has been suspended for three weeks because of a rant in […]
by Bert Beiswanger Tony Stewart will not be charged by an Ontario County (N.Y.) Grand Jury in the death of Kevin Ward Jr. That news came across the wire Wednesday afternoon. Do you know what won’t come across the wire any time soon?: Apologies from those who rushed to judgement without knowing the facts, including […]

Goodell could have twerked and farted at the podium during yesterday’s ineffective press conference, and still the owners would […]
by Kent Sterling Always trying to be the clever guy who doesn’t have the wait in line, I ran over to the AT&T Store this morning to pick up a new iPhone 6. Why not the Apple Store at the Fashion Mall? Because I thought the rabble would head there, and who would think to […]
by Kent Sterling Bad news for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell rolled in again yesterday as Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston was suspended by Florida State for the first half of Saturday’s game against Clemson for jumping on a table and screaming “F**k her right in the p***y!” Goodell is hiding under his desk while […]
Dear Roger – Hey, it could be worse! At least you didn’t knock your wife unconscious or make your son’s scrotum bleed. Feel better?
