by Kent Sterling Peyton Manning doesn’t play special teams, so no one can blame him for Percy Harvin’s kickoff return for a touchdown. And the safety on the first offensive play of the game was on the center, but Manning sure didn’t play well when the ball was in his normally sure hands. One of […]
Indianapolis Star Pacers reporter Candace Buckner did a very nice job keeping fans updated Saturday morning as Andrew Bynum moved closer and closer to signing with the team. That kind of timely delivery of information is what drives follower growth, and she grew by 15.1% from January 1st through this morning. Click here to follow […]
by Kent Sterling Yogi Ferrell. Mentioning anyone or anything else as a reason for Indiana beating Michigan this afternoon is silly. Yogi Ferrell shot, led, and defended like a champion today. He asserted his considerable will and accurate bombing from outside the arc as he propelled the Hoosiers to another win over a ranked opponent […]
by Kent Sterling Nobody explains professional football like Rick Venturi, and I doubt anyone other than the participants are as juiced to watch the match-up between the NFL’s best offense and defense. Coach Venturi spent some time with me this morning on “Ahead of the Curve” (1070 the Fan/Indianapolis), and laid out his thoughts on […]
Indiana Pacers Sign Andrew Bynum – Larry Bird, Frank Vogel, and Paul George (video) React

by Kent Sterling Ernie Banks loved his job, and he was very good at it. For a generation of Chicagoans, Ernie Banks embodied the beauty of enjoying what you do. He hit 512 home runs, and was a first ballot hall of famer for a franchise that absolutely sucked through nearly his entire career. Until […]
by Kent Sterling There are a many reasons I’m not a basketball coach, but one of the reasons I’m glad I’m not a basketball coach is what tonight will be like for Indiana’s Tom Crean. I wouldn’t sleep because I would have spent tonight’s game lamenting that I had no idea how to get the […]
by Kent Sterling Rebuilding college football teams can take a lot of time. The spoils of the first recruiting class of a new coach can’t really be assessed until the coach’s fourth year on the job. Guess what year Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is looking toward. This is the year of reckoning – the year […]
by Kent Sterling Northwestern beat Wisconsin – the 14th ranked team in the country – last night in Madison. Penn State went to Columbus last night and beat Ohio State in overtime to drop the #23 Buckeyes to ninth place in the conference race.
