by Kent Sterling When I moved to Fishers, Indiana, in 1994, there were roughly 18,000 people who lived here. It was a strange little town that sprawled over a fairly enormous footprint of 35 square miles. Now, there are nearly 20,000 students enrolled in Hamilton Southeastern Schools, and a total population of 80,000. The schools […]
by Kent Sterling Choose whatever reason you like – the NBA rigging the game, the officials working to balance things out, the Knicks being more focused, or things just not going quite as well for the Pacers – but tonight’s Game Two against the Knicks may as well be over right now because there is […]
by Kent Sterling The Cubs were in trouble. President of baseball ops Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer looked at their roster, and had no idea where the Cubs would find a workhorse to eat innings. Matt Garza couldn’t be counted on because of his elbow, and free agent acquisition Scott Baker was still […]
Hinchcliffe Puts the Hammer Down Heading to Indy
by Bert Beiswanger Last year during the Month of May, local microbrewery Flat12 Bierwerks brewed up a special beer in honor of affable Canadian and IZOD IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe. It was called the Hinchtown Hammer Down ale. Putting the hammer down is exactly what the Mayor of Hinchtown did Sunday, passing Takuma Sato in […]
by Kent Sterling For months, the knuckleheads in Chicago sportsradio and boobs who troll message boards have been eager to advice and criticize Bulls guard Derrick Rose for not playing after being cleared by his doctors. Derrick can thank his brother Reggie for all this noise. The Bulls will open their Eastern Conference Semifinals tonight […]
by Kent Sterling Some people take the time to do things right, and some are a little bit too busy. Charities ask for items that can be auctioned during fundraisers all the time, and it makes people in control of those assets good when they are able to give. If only the charities were as […]
by Kent Sterling This is the fourth straight year the Cubs have been a terrible baseball team. When people talk about the reasons for their low quality of play, a black cat at Shea Stadium and a billy goat that belonged to the Sianis family are recited. The truth is that baseball is played by […]
by Kent Sterling Coaches who tell the truth are a lot more interesting in postgame press conferences than those who alibi or give oddly technical explanations for a loss. New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson is nothing if not honest, and when he said that the Pacers won because “they played harder,” but he wasn’t […]
by Kent Sterling So it’s finally come to this – anything bad happens to your son or daughter at school, and someone needs to be fired. Ding-a-ling parents of thousands of kids demand that their rugrats be treated as the special little presents from heaven that mommy and daddy know them to be, and if […]
by Kent Sterling Most of the time in business, logic isn’t enough to motivate bureaucrats to change a policy. Nowhere has that been historically truer than at the NCAA. Wonderfully, magically, magnificently – the NCAA announced yesterday a change in the preseason practice window that will allow teams to practice six weeks prior to the […]
