by Kent Sterling They are the most predictable fans in all of sports, and have the least class. The University of Kentucky has many reasons to feel shame, but the behavior of their fans toward a kid who did nothing but choose to attend Kansas today shows why teenage basketball players who decide to attend […]
by Kent Sterling The number one incoming freshman in the country is going to announce his decision today, and there are four finalists from which he’s going to choose – North Carolina, Florida State, Kansas, and Kentucky. I would love for the very best players in the country to make their decisions based upon something […]
by Kent Sterling If the Knicks win tonight’s game, the series between the Pacers and Knicks will be tied at two, and the Knicks will have two games left at home to put away the young upstarts from Indiana. If the Pacers win, they will have a 3-1 stranglehold that will give them three shots […]
Coach Rick Venturi Loves Colts 2013 Draft Class
by Kent Sterling The 2012 draft for the Colts yielded some spectacular results. Andrew Luck, Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, T.Y.

by Kent Sterling Jeez. Who’s in charge over at Rutgers? Not two months after basketball coach Mike Rice was told to pack a box after years of verbal and physical abuse were revealed in hilarious and horrifying practice videos, Deadspin has uncovered his replacement never earned the degree he has claimed to. Yep. Eddie Jordan […]

Here are the changes, as reported by ESPN: Refs can now go to the monitor in the final two minutes to check […]
by Kent Sterling The commissioner of Major League Baseball will turn 80 before he mercifully retires at the end of the 2014 season. Nothing against Bud Selig, but he’s nearly a half century older than the age of the guy who should have the job. Technology is evolving every 18 months, as is the market […]

So I keep track of the kids […]
