Inside Indiana Sports Breakfast with Kent Sterling

Frank Reich's platitudes and bouquets need to stop in favor of the truth.  Good or bad, fans deserve to hear something honest from the coach of their team after the offensive coordinator is fired and a running back is traded without reasonable explanation.  

Truth must be offered or no one will believe a word!  

This "everyone is a leader" nonsense must end, and so should Reich's bromides.  

Jonathan Taylor did not practice and neither did Matt Ryan.  Bill Self has been suspended for something - not sure or Kansas remembers what - but the NCAA's IARP will disband after it remembers!

Jonathan Taylor's ankle needs to be ready with Nyheim Hines now in Buffalo!  Tyquan Lewis going to IR means Kwity Paye coming back would be stellar!  Optimism Wednesday dictate for will play at a high level versus the Patriots!   

Butler won last night!  IU Basketball back at it tomorrow night!  Pacers host the Miami Heat Friday!  

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts saved a few bucks allowing Kyle Schwarber to bounce, and gave Phillies fans someone to love and cheer!

Nyheim Hines traded to the Buffalo Bills for Zach Moss and a conditional 6th round pick.  Hines was expensive given his use this year, and finally the questions about Hines and Jonathan Taylor playing together will cease!  

Earlier today, Frank Reich fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady.  Reich says firing Brady "was an incredibly hard decision."  But it was a hell of a lot easier than jumping in front of that train himself!

Matt Ryan has a difficult contract and separated shoulder - then why is he being discussed as a trade possibility?  Kenny Moore and Stephon Gilmore have value for a championship contender.  Colts have not made an in-season deal since 2013, but there is always a chance.  

(at 10:35) Pacers lose to the Nets in another fun game to watch.  Myles Turner, who had a -21 last night, says he is not loved at the level he deserves, and would like to be traded to the Lakers!  Myles and I finally agree about something!

Tyquan Lewis tore his other Patellar Tendon yesterday, but Kwity Paye may be ready to come back this week.  Sam Ehlinger is the right starter for now, but can he compete with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson?  

(at 10:40) Is Chris Ballard the right guy to fix the problems he has either caused or has been unable to fix?  

(@13:09)  Pacers tonight at 7:30p against dysfunctional Nets - on Bally Sports Indiana!  

(@15:38) Auburn needs to know Indiana is going to keep the Tigers from hiring Tom Allen as the coach of the Hoosiers, so don't even bother calling even if you believe he is the answer to your championship dreams!

Ehlinger was decisive, mobile, and accurate.  That was good enough to beat the Commanders, but the defense could not get a stop, so the game came down to a jump ball between Indianapolis native Terry McLaurin and Stephon Gilmore.  

(at 10:47) Hoosiers freshmen Reneau, Hood-Schifino, and Gunn looked ready to compete in Big 10 as the Hoosiers beat Marian.  

(at 13:48) Pacers tonight try to win third straight!  Hopefully, Ball Sports Indiana can allow us to watch Tyrese Haliburton and Ben Mathurin ball!

Sam Ehlinger good enough to win, but the Colts couldn't overcome two lost fumbles.  Tyquan Lewis injury critical in clock management.  Michael Pittman with a good game until that critical drop.  Shaq Leonard with what should have been a game-winning interception.  All in all, a lot of reasons to feel good about Ehlinger.

Hoosiers made their season debut at Assembly Hall against Scott Heady's Marian Knights, and two freshmen were the stars of the show.  Veterans Xavier Johnson and Jordan Geronimo show the good and bad that have thrilled and disappointed IU fans since they arrived in Bloomington.  

Trayce Jackson-Davis and Tamar Bates sat today, but Logan Duncomb was the stat stuffer with the game's only double-double!

Sam Ehlinger will get his shot at the next Colts starting quarterback!  Can he do it?  Has Chris Ballard screwed this up beyond his own ability to repair it?  

If the Colts fire Frank Reich, is there a decent coach in the NFL at any level who who covet the job?

Shaquille Leonard sounds like he's ready to rock n roll against Washington! Says Matt Ryan not to blame, but team behind helping Sam Ehlinger succeed.    

Commanders are a good opponent for Ehlinger to open against.  Washington doesn't score much or force turnovers!    

Hoosiers open season with exhibition against Marian tomorrow at 3p - only on BTN+, which will cost $9.95 for the month!  

Pacers tonight in Washington, and Myles Turner MUST be better!
