by Kent Sterling What the hell else is there to listen to on local sportstalk in Indianapolis than “Ahead of the Curve” with Fox 59’s Chris Hagan and me? Nothing. No station thinks enough of you to produce a local show. It would be easy for Chris and I to breeze through the two hours […]
by Kent Sterling Time magazine’s cover piece this week champions the righteousness of paying student athletes for the value they create for universities. I’ve long thought that to exclude athletes who fill stadia and arenas from the market economy that benefits virtually every other human being in America, but that Time called for it caused […]

I scrolled and scrolled through the Legitimate Contenders, Question Marks, […]
