Chris Collins Awards Scholarship to Northwestern Basketball Walk-on – on Video
by Kent Sterling Two things we learned yesterday about shiny new Northwestern basketball coach Chris Collins – he appreciates the work of the unheralded, and he is pretty sharp at crafting an image. Collins announced to his team yesterday that walk-on James Montgomery earned a scholarship for the year. The moment was videotaped and posted […]
by Kent Sterling I love bureaucrats – not really. They say one thing while doing the opposite leaving everyone confused as to what they really mean.

by Kent Sterling I just watched ESPN’s Nomar Garciaparra give the advantage to the St.Louis Cardinals lineup and rotation, call the bullpen a draw, and hand John Farrell the nod over Cards manager Mike Matheny.

by Kent Sterling The Indianapolis Colts entered the season hoping that running backs Ahmad Bradshaw and Vick Ballard would share the load in the backfield, and tight end Dwayne Allen would be a force as a receiver in his second year. Who could have imagined that the two-headed monster carrying the Colts running game would […]
by Kent Sterling Tonight, Colts fans hoped they would be able to salute their hero, and watch the Colts pull the upset in a game that lived up to the hype. Check and check. Ill-timed Broncos turnovers and penalties doomed the previously undefeated Broncos to their first defeat. The 39-33 score doesn’t tell the story […]
by Kent Sterling IndyCar will call it a season tonight at Fontana, and the driver of the Fuzzy’s Vodka #20 Chevy is going to try to finish it tonight just as he did a year ago – with his only win of the season. Next year will see the implementation of a more logical schedule […]
by Kent Sterling I’ve said it many times before, but if you want to know something about pro football, talking to longtime NFL defensive coordinator Rick Venturi is a great place to start. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning presents a whole mess of problems for the defenses he dissects, and Venturi has some ideas about […]
