by Kent Sterling With 10:34 left in the second quarter, Hawks shooter Kyle Korver hit a jumper to bring the Hawks to within one at 23-22. With 9:38 left in the third quarter, Devin Harris drove for a layup to cut the Pacers lead to 11. In between, the Hawks missed 14 shots, the bough […]
by Kent Sterling Add one more thing to the list of things Len Kasper does a whole lot right as the Cubs TV play-by-play voice. He calls the action in an authentically enthusiastic way, and he never elevates his performance beyond the needs of the audience. He is enough of a fan to call out […]
by Kent Sterling There are still roars at 16th and Georgetown as IndyCars hit 230 mph circling the world’s greatest race course, just not for as long as they used to. The Month of May used to mean the whole month, but in 2013 it means from Saturday, May 11th to race day on Sunday, […]

by Kent Sterling 1070 the Fan host Dan Dakich and cbssports.com’s Gregg Doyel got passionate as they discussed the Jason Collins story during Dakich’s show today. Both were reasonable and eventually met in the middle, deciding that the best possible response to the story itself is a shrug. Neither thought Collins sexuality is relevant in […]
by Chip Balma The Best Three Rookie Running Backs In 2013 The 2013 NFL Draft certainly won’t go down as an all-time classic, but there will still be some solid players who contribute right away.
