by Kent Sterling Jack Nicholson told a story in an interview about how prisoners in concentration camps who were murdered with poisonous gas by the Nazis were found. Men on top, women beneath them, and children at the bottom of the pile. A vent was near the ceiling and the higher up people went, the […]
by Kent Sterling When a talk radio host where I worked made some inane and ill-conceived on-air bet, I always forced them to follow thru. It wasn’t fair to tease listeners and not pay off, so whatever the harebrained threat was, it was done. If I refuse to pay a similar bet now that I’m […]
by Kent Sterling No one wants to get fired. There is an unpleasant stigma to getting the ax, and the phone calls to share the news with family are humbling, unpleasant, and easily the worst part. Getting fired happens to coaches. It happens all the time, and to almost every coach who aspires to lead young […]
by Kent Sterling Can’t we all just get along? I get it if one guy is a moron and another is gifted. Two people in upper-management with completely different skill sets or abilities are likely to butt heads – and often. Both Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano appear to be competent. […]
by Bert Beiswanger Let’s make one thing clear: No one blames the Indianapolis Colts throttling at the hands of the New England Patriots on deflated footballs.

by Bert Beiswanger It won’t go away: If you were starting a team right now, would you take Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck? It’s not Colts versus Broncos, it’s Luck versus Manning. Over and over, the media bangs this over our heads. Word of advice: Stop for a moment today and just appreciate greatness. Yes, […]
by Bert Beiswanger Let’s not sugar coat this, folks: The Colts beat an average football team Sunday. They don’t need to apologize for that – a win in the NFL Playoffs is a great win. But the fact is the Bengals came into the game without # 2 wide receiver Marvin Jones (out all year), […]
by Kent Sterling There comes a point in every NFL season when teams and players are faced with reality. They either show themselves to be poor, solid, or outstanding. That point came yesterday for the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and Peyton Manning. Every season is like a mosaic with tiles being added each week. Some […]
by Kent Sterling As people get older, they hear nature’s clock ticking more and more loudly. For a few, the result of that incessant clacking is a yearning to imbue the young and stupid with wisdom that can only be gained through experience. Indianapolis Colts all-time sack leader Robert Mathis was once a young stud […]
by Bert Beiswanger A couple of days ago, I was ready to write about the most disrespected franchise in sports, The San Antonio Spurs, and the complete over-reaction by the media to Game 2 of the NBA Finals (which I was ultimately proven right by in Game 3). But a day or two has passed […]
