by Kent Sterling There was so much wrong with the first episode of “Crowd Goes Wild” on Fox Sports 1 that they lost me for the next three months. I tuned back because of equal shares of professional responsibility and morbid curiosity. Same problems. Today, I read where the show has been cancelled, so I […]
by Kent Sterling Expectations are a huge factor in building a narrative for a seven-game playoff series. Last year, the Indiana Pacers won 49 games, were the third seed, and faced a Game Five against the Atlanta Hawks with the series tied 2-2. This year, while in the same situation against a different Hawks team, […]
by Kent Sterling It’s always a little stunning when there is such outrage when an idiot opens his mouth. Human beings aren’t quite as bright as we like to think we are. People tend to enjoy disliking each other for their differences, and they have for the expanse of recorded history. I’m not sure why, […]

by Kent Sterling Being arrested for illegal consumption and possession of a fake ID while in college is almost a rite of passage, and Indiana basketball players Yogi Ferrell and Stanford Robinson became members of that club at Kilroy’s Sports Bar early thing morning, according to a release from the Indiana State Excise Police. Getting […]
by Kent Sterling There are so many questions without answers that fans and media have lost hope that Indiana can vanquish the giant killing Atlanta Hawks. If there has been an eight-seed that has looked more like a one-seed than the Hawks, I don’t remember it, and the reverse is true of the Pacers. Coach […]
by Kent Sterling Not getting arrested in Bloomington during Little 500 weekend is a lot like not being caught by a grizzly bear chasing a group of campers, you don’t have to be fast, just don’t be the slowest. Avoiding police attention during the Little 500 weekend that started in earnest last night does not […]
