by Kent Sterling My Dad is irate. Somewhere in the middle of the great beyond, Clark Sterling is cursing the Chicago Cubs with the same zeal he showed for 70 years in life. The Cubs have decided to do what every other sports franchise tired of trying to extort friendliness and appearances out of their […]
by Kent Sterling The Indianapolis Colts have some decisions to make – a lot of decisions. The team that took a step forward in 2013 will need to hit again in the free agent lottery to take another big stride toward the ultimate goal of winning a second Lombardi Trophy for Indianapolis.

Showing their abject stupidity, the Baseball Writers Association of America has stripped ESPN host Dan LeBatard of his Baseball Hall of Fame vote […]
by Kent Sterling Nothing is done quietly in Assembly Hall. Winning, Losing, cheating, rebuilding, and hanging a banner are all done under a bright spotlight in front of fans, alums, and national media that pays very close attention 365 days a year. As the Hoosiers continue to search for their collective personality, others are beginning […]
by Kent Sterling There is no doubt that Pete Rose was a self-entitled jerk who said and did things that it seems only professional athletes can get away with. He broke THE rule when he bet on the Reds when he managed the team. There is no mistaking the importance of baseball’s ban on gambling […]
by Kent Sterling There is no one less fun to be around at the ballpark than a health nut who insists on telling you how hot dogs are made. Snouts and peckers? I don’t want to know there are snouts and peckers in my hot dog. They are delicious with mustard and onions, so keep […]
