2015 is an odd year for sports fans in central Indiana. Optimists have plenty of reason to feel smart, but pessimists are justified in their negative thoughts. The Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers (basketball & football), Bulldogs, and Boilermakers (basketball) are all teetering between realizing their goals and falling off a cliff. Fascinating times provide a fascinating […]
The reasons not to play high school football are widely discussed, and most have to do with the long-term brain health of participants. CTE is a fact of life for many of those who receive repeated blows to the noodle, and the results are horrifying for those who suffer from it and their families. That’s […]
Talking and writing about sports is a bizarre way to earn a living, but they provide a strange set of wonderful validations – not necessarily from listeners and readers – but from the feeling of accomplishment in finishing a day where fun was had and unique information was shared. I host a daily three-hour radio show on […]
The college basketball season started with a vengeance yesterday, and fans got a great look at big time programs paying against each other instead of preparing for conference games by tuning up Lipscomb, Austin Peay, and directional state universities.

People in media sadly aren’t the sharpest tacks in the drawer, so we tend to not see life as a collaborative and fun exploit filled with adventure and productive endeavors. Because we in radio […]
by Kent Sterling Andrew Luck suffered a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle Sunday in a season saving win against the Broncos, and is likely out for a window of at least four games, and possibly the entire regular season. That’s the worst kind of news possible for a team that seemed to find […]
by Kent Sterling Since human beings stood upright, we have hated each other for confoundingly silly reasons – religion, nationality, color of hair, jealousy over intellect and wealth, and many more. For a few minutes less than the history of our species, people who were hated expressed their dislike for being hated. Click here to […]
by Kent Sterling My propensity for saying “I like Tom Crean” before listing a myriad of reasons for replacing him as the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team is well known.
