by Kent Sterling It was virtually a foregone conclusion that the Colts team that beat a good 49ers team easily in Candlestick would wallop the Jaguars in Jacksonville, but the Colts don’t win a lot of road games by 34 or more points. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter The last time the Colts […]
by Kent Sterling Defending former USC football coach Lane Kiffin is impossible. His ability to get jobs is his greatest skill. As a coach, he has always been reported to be an overmatched weasel filled to his visor with hubris. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Only the assumed lunacy of Oakland Raiders owner […]
by Kent Sterling There is enough going on right now that talking sports in Indianapolis is more about choosing what not to talk about than what to talk about. Saturday at 11a, Fox 59’s Chris Hagan and I will talk Indiana Hoosiers – media Day was Thursday and provided a little clarity as to whether […]
