On the last day of February, the Indiana Pacers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-104 in front on 19,432 fans at Quicken Loan Arena. T.J. Warren scored 30, and both Domas Sabonis and Myles Turned posted double-doubles. The following day, Indiana lost by a single point 67-66 to Illinois at the State Farm Center in front […]
Helping people is a privilege and joy, not a responsibility. Especially in a time of crisis, people with cash need to help those without it. We are in a health crisis that is quickly going to morph into an economic calamity, and many millions will need assistance to survive. The government will help some, and the […]
It’s been 33 years, but the lesson remains – a union of professional athletes that believe they run the show will learn the painful lesson that there are advantages to ownership. The NFLPA ratified the new collective bargaining agreement by a slim margin of 60 votes, so there will be football without interruption through the next […]

“Indy would be perfect for Philip Rivers.” “From Bolts to Colts!” “Rivers flowing to Indianapolis.” We’ve heard it all during the first few days of rumor mongering at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Cowboys already have Dak Prescott as their quarterback, and Tom Brady is unlikely in the extreme to be tantalized by an opportunity to play for “America’s Team.” No one is his or her right mind believes it is even a remote possibility, so how did this idiotic notion of Brady to the Cowboys start […]
The Super Bowl is three days away, and I’m thinking about other things. I haven’t devoted a moment of attention to what is a fascinating matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. This is unusual for me. Pouring over video and analytics to try to predict a Super Bowl winner is usually great fun, […]
As the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped a nondescript game last night, something quite descript happened. Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett took Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph to the ground after Rudolph delivered a screen pass that should have ended the game. Rudolph began grabbing at Garrett’s helmet. Garrett took exception and pulled Rudolph’s helmet from his […]
Here’s what happens when an employee every decision is second guessed – he or she works to be perfect, and perfect doesn’t exist. That’s part of the reason officiating in the NFL continues to erode. Replay expands to pass interference calls, and all of a sudden flags fly all over the field. Penalties are being called 16% more […]
