by Kent Sterling Being arrested is very good test of value for an NFL player. If Colts safety John Boyett wanted to know where he stands as an employee for the team, he found out when he was released this morning – one day after his arrest outside Tiki Bob’s in downtown Indianapolis. Boyett allegedly […]
by Mark Tinsley There are a lot of things that can change a child’s life. One of those things for me was basketball. Growing up in Indiana, you hear all the stories. You hear about Larry Bird, Bob Knight, Glenn Robinson, Calbert Cheaney and probably the biggest legend Damon Bailey. One guy always seems to […]
by Kent Sterling What is it with the professional football players? When Indianapolis Colts rookie safety John Boyett was arrested at 2:52 this morning outside Tiki Bob’s on South Meridian, he reportedly told police, “You can’t arrest me, I’m a Colts player.” Click here to follow Kent on Twitter During an offseason when more than […]
by Kent Sterling When I saw the discomfort of Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin during the postgame press conference following the win over Rice, I said, “He needs to cut Johnny Manziel.” The noise needs to stop for Sumlin to effectively lead his team, but the reaction I thought appropriate was not the right course […]

by Kent Sterling The idea is to get better every week. That what Chris Hagan and I attempt on “Ahead of the Curve” (Saturdays 11a-1p on 1070 the Fan/107.5 FM/1070thefan.com), and each week I believe we have succeeded. That might have something to do with our lack of satisfaction with previous work, but regardless with […]
