Coach Rick Venturi on What Makes Andrew Luck so Good
by Kent Sterling Covering the St. Louis Rams last year, I didn’t get a chance to watch Colts quarterback Andrew Luck as much as I would have liked. After moving back to Indianapolis, I watched all of his snaps, and I thought he was outstanding in his rookie year and potentially the best in the […]
by Kent Sterling Be honest. If your job was to assemble a winning team in the NFL, would you sign currently unemployed quarterback Tim Tebow? Most GMs would sell their children for another win or two, so if Tebow was a guy who could provide that, he would have a gig. All else being equal […]
by Kent Sterling When there were a few more boxes than I would like in our attic, the Sterlings had a family garage sale where we netted $500. Bob Knight is evidently not a fan of garage sales. His junk is available for sale at auction on Steinersports.com. To be fair, there is some one-of-a-kind memorabilia […]
by Bert Beiswanger A few days ago, I wrote a piece praising the excitement in the IZOD IndyCar Series right now and the refreshing new storylines heading into the Month of May and the 2013 Indy 500: Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy One exciting thing I didn’t touch on is the fact […]
Coach Rick Venturi explains why Tim Tebow can’t start at quarterback in the NFL
by Kent Sterling When I have a question about the NFL, I call Rick Venturi, one of the best and smartest defensive coaches in NFL history. Rick is able to remove all emotion from his analysis from one of the most polarizing figures in today’s NFL. People either love Tebow or are mystified by that […]
Susannah Collins firing shows how tenuous broadcasting careers can be
by Kent Sterling Managers of television and radio stations sometimes stand by their staff when upper management calls for action. Then again, sometimes they don’t. The folks at Comcast Sports Chicago acted quickly when reporter Susannah Collins used the word ‘sex’ instead of ‘success’, as in “the Blackhawks have had a tremendous amount of sex […]
by Kent Sterling Actually, the Indiana Pacers dropped two deuces, two triples, and three free throws in the fourth quarter, more specifically the last 4:48 of the fourth. Until that point, they were scoreless in the quarter. From the time that Jeff Pendergraph reported at 3:04 left in the third for one of the more […]
by Kent Sterling Choose whatever reason you like – the NBA rigging the game, the officials working to balance things out, the Knicks being more focused, or things just not going quite as well for the Pacers – but tonight’s Game Two against the Knicks may as well be over right now because there is […]
by Kent Sterling The Cubs were in trouble. President of baseball ops Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer looked at their roster, and had no idea where the Cubs would find a workhorse to eat innings. Matt Garza couldn’t be counted on because of his elbow, and free agent acquisition Scott Baker was still […]
Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy
by Bert Beiswanger Last year during the Month of May, local microbrewery Flat12 Bierwerks brewed up a special beer in honor of affable Canadian and IZOD IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe. It was called the Hinchtown Hammer Down ale. Putting the hammer down is exactly what the Mayor of Hinchtown did Sunday, passing Takuma Sato in […]
