by Kent Sterling For a team that keeps taking positive strides toward winning a championship, there sure are a bunch of questions about their future. Power forward David West will be a free agent, and the Pacers will almost certainly try to back back the emotional bellwether for the team. Until West signed two years […]
by Kent Sterling One of the parents of a teammate of my son’s AAU team would come up to me after losses and say, “Hard on my eyes.” That’s how I felt watching this debacle of a game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals. There will be plenty of time to reflect on the growth […]
Indiana Hoosiers Football Helmets Are Exceptional (video)
by Kent Sterling I’m a stickler for uniforms, helmets, and anything else can be a potential embarrassment to a university.

The postgame of the Pacers game six win in the Eastern Conference Finals against […]
by Kent Sterling There was controversy before the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals started. Indiana coach Frank Vogel said that the Heat are the team that is next. Someone told LeBron James that Vogel said the Heat “are just another team.” James took umbrage and claimed that the Heat “are a great team.” Even if Vogel […]
by Kent Sterling The Indiana Pacers better make sure their mouthguards fit correctly as the Game Seven they earned tonight is going to bring a response on Monday at 8:30p. The Heat aren’t going to surrender their crown without a fight the likes of which these Pacers have never faced. Tonight, everything that went right […]
by Kent Sterling Before moving to St. Louis two years ago, Chris Hagan and I hosted a sportstalk show on 1070 the Fan, and I loved it.
