The best investment of time you can make on a Saturday is to listen to “Ahead of the Curve” with Chris Hagan and Kent Sterling at www.1070thefan.com or in the Indianapolis area on 1070AM or 107.5FM from 11a-1p. We jam at least three hours of content into every two hour show, and that saves you an […]
by Kent Sterling Charlie Coles died today, and that’s a sad thing for college basketball. Having retired 15 months ago, Coles barely had any time at all to enjoy being away from the game. The game sure didn’t enjoy having him away from it. I spent a single day with Coles seven years ago when […]
Polka Boy Tonight at the Rathskeller – Accordionist Jeff Russell Tells Story of Singing “Back in Black” as Ethel Merman
by Kent Sterling My enjoyment of Polka Boy on a beautiful Friday night as the Rathskeller in Indianapolis is well-documented. That tradition is one that I honor every single time it happens.

by Kent Sterling Running backs don’t get healthier with age. Even Ahmad Bradshaw – a 27-year-old coming off a 1,015 yard season for the New York Giants has seen his best days. The Colts need a little help at running back returning Vick Ballard, Donald Brown, and Delone Carter, none of whom is especially dynamic […]
by Kent Sterling Let’s face it, without a rooting interest the NBA Finals are terrible television. The last 90-seconds of a close game can take almost a half-hour, and there is so much physical contact the referees can justifiably call fouls on every possession. The Miami heat host the San Antonio Spurs tonight in Game […]
by Kent Sterling Yesterday, it was the top ten douchebags turn. Today, we turn to five damn good people who play sports. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but are people that I really like for a variety of reasons. 5 – Jon Jay The St. Louis Cardinals is a slick fielding center […]
by Kent Sterling I’m not sure whether Chicago Cubs General Manager is an idiot, full of crap, or made an inept effort to cover for his team yesterday on Buster Olney’s podcast. Below are quotes followed by unpleasant realities: “Usually you draft starters in the draft, and a lot of the best relievers are failed […]
