by Kent Sterling My whole life I have tried to learn everything relevant about the games I would watch, so watching a game where I have a rooting interest but no knowledge whatsoever is a joy. Not only do I know nothing about the team Indiana plays tonight in an elimination game of the College […]
by Kent Sterling Every professional athlete has a moment when he realizes he can’t do what he once did – that the physical gifts that once seemed so much a part of his DNA have eroded to the point where he is now a liability to the team that once counted on his skills. That […]
by Kent Sterling That was a hell of a basketball game that the Miami Heat won 103-100 in overtime. The game belonged to the Spurs as they took a 13 point lead in the third. Then it belonged to the Heat as they asserted themselves in the fourth quarter to take a three-point lead with […]
by Kent Sterling There is an arrogance about the Miami Heat that I don’t like. LeBron James carries himself like he has no doubt this series is over, and then he proves that he was right. That I admire. The way the rest of the team syncs with that arrogance, but are mostly incapable to […]
by Kent Sterling Is there anything less attractive than someone who bitches and moans about the rigors and responsibilities of massive success?

Jack Nicklaus holds the record for winning majors with 18, but he was also the runner up in 19 more. Nicklaus is known […]
by Kent Sterling The Indiana vs. Kentucky all star series has become an afterthought on the sports calendar – not because their is a lack of interest from Indiana fans, but because of the quality of play by Kentucky. The sad truth is that basketball in the Bluegrass State is played at such a low […]
by Kent Sterling Everything on a baseball field should be dealt with by ballplayers, managers, and coaches – except for one thing so egregious and dangerous that it should command a deterrent that keeps it from being an option. Throwing at a batter’s head is a pitiful move by a pitcher who should be forced […]

by Kent Sterling Some of the best times of my life have been at Polka Boy shows, and one of the most charismatic members of the band is accordionist Jeff Russell. The band will be out in full force tonight playing their unique blend of rock and polka. Jeff Russell joined me at Patrick’s in […]
