Hoosiers didn’t lie. Basketball is a big deal here. Unfortunately, the Pacers’ star player and leading points scorer is out indefinitely, so probably not an NBA finals repeat this year. The Colts are looking as good as they have in years, and look good to go deep in the playoffs.

What is this World Cup you speak of? Soccer will never be globally competitive in the US until we adopt a relegation system, and no billionaire team owner is ever going to ok it. Leagues just have to start out that way, I guess.

My first and greatest sports love is auto racing, but I don’t have the space here, or the inclination, to get into my 30 year saga of falling, ever so slowly, out of love with the sport. I still follow it because I can’t help myself, and because Indianapolis is so tied up with it that it’s inescapable.
