by Kent Sterling Not sure how many seemingly good drafts it takes to build a roster capable of winning, but evidently the last two haven’t been enough. Ram General Manager Les Snead continues to sign free agents who have played well in the past, and have even played well for the Rams, but aren’t close […]
by Kent Sterling Why is it inherently bad to pay college athletes commensurate to their value? Other than it never being done – at least not above the table – is there any justification for not allowing basic economics to operate unfettered for athletes whose work makes a lot of money for everyone associated with […]
Indiana Pacers – Paul George Signs Extension, Pledges Effort, Leadership, and Love for Indy
by Kent Sterling All people have flaws, but Indiana Pacers President Larry Bird’s willingness and ability to tell the truth are not among his. When players have disappointed Bird, he has spoken out.

by Kent Sterling After playing in a couple of hundred corporate golf outings, I can tell you you thing – the companies that sweat the details make the outings much more relaxed and enjoyable for the participants. Fun golf outing = oncourt success is a simplistic equation that defies a little bit of logic. After […]
by Kent Sterling Fox 59’s Chris Hagan got a chance to sit down and talk to film director Ron Howard about his latest project “Rush”, and all credit goes to Chris for being able to keep his focus. The voice and laughter of a TV and film icon like Howard would be impossible for me […]
