Stern’s definition of ‘golden age’ is laughable
Of this, that and the other while wondering if NBA Commissioner David Stern had just taken a hit off Michael Phelps’ bong
when he proclaimed this to be "the golden age of basketball" during his all-star weekend news conference in Phoenix.
SPORTS: Stern’s definition of ‘golden age’ is laughable-WEB ONLY
Of this, that and the other while wondering if NBA Commissioner David Stern had just taken a hit off Michael Phelps’ bong when he proclaimed this to be “the golden age of basketball” during his all-star weekend news conference in Phoenix. OK, perhaps the marijuana reference is a little harsh, but the golden age of […]
Pizza pumps up Pacers attendance
The Indiana Pacers are climbing the NBA attendance ladder—at a surprisingly brisk rate. With deals like the one the team unveiled this week, it’s no wonder. The team is now offering $3 tickets….
BSU QB catches Colts’ Polian’s eye
Does Bill Polian’s attendance at Ball State’s home football game Wednesday night mean the Indianapolis Colts are quarterback shopping? League sources and draft experts said the notion shouldn’t be discounted, although Colts Coach…

NOTIONS: Beyond the biased barriers of Beaver Cleaverville
I grew up on the outskirts of Omaha, Neb.; Lafayette and Fort Wayne. Each time we moved, we wound up near the line where the suburbs met the farm fields. For a kid, this had advantages. You could ride your bike down miles of country roads, hike through newly plowed furrows or climb through construction sites after the Amish workers had called it a day. Mostly, you watched one world advance and the other retreat. The houses in our neighborhoods…
NOTIONS: Variations on the theme of March Madness
March Madness is upon us-that glorious season born in a Springfield, Mass., peach basket and now headquartered, literally and spiritually, in the Hoosier state. That means, of course, high-pressure conference tournaments; Big Dance brackets and pairings; controversial selections and exclusions; friendly wagers; blowouts; upsets; scoring runs; dry spells; lead changes; come-frombehind victories; heartbreaking defeats; and last-second, game-winning three-pointers. But in only the first week of the third month of the Gregorian calendar, it’s clear-from personal life, to the recession (er…
Stoops among continent’s 5 biggest Freightliner dealers
Jeff Stoops’ big-rig truck and trailer inventory is worth tens of millions of dollars–a number that might leave the city’s
cult-of-personaltiy car dealers speechless, or questioning their manhood.SPORTS: Here’s how a referee makes the hall of fame
As the boys’ and girls’ high school swimming seasons come to a close, my thoughts turn to a man who in April will be inducted into the first class of the Indiana High School Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame. It’s notable because this person never swam a competitive lap in his life. That said, I can’t think of anyone more deserving. In the big picture of local sports-where the major leaguers and the major colleges reside-not many have heard…
Former Lilly exec to head CoLucid: White leaves Boston firm to return to Indiana
CoLucid Pharmaceuticals Inc., a drug development company Eli Lilly and Co. spun out last year, has attracted Jim White as its first CEO. White was a longtime Lilly executive before spending the past five years in Boston helping grow Hypnion Inc., another pharmaceutical startup that so far has attracted $80 million from venture capitalists. “We have a lot of great talent in the state that leaves because we haven’t had the kind of jobs to retain those folks,” White said….
NOTIONS: Learning what matters in the ultimate survivor game
When I was 21, I went to work for a mayor. I was an intern. I wrote speeches, letters, news releases and proclamations; took photographs; set up chairs for news conferences; poured coffee for reporters; sipped tea with sister-city delegations; photocopied documents; scheduled guests for radio and TV shows; produced an audio-visual presentation; showed it to scores of neighborhood associations; told them how great the mayor was. Things like that. I made minimum wage, learned from some wise mentors and…
SPORTS: Is there the will to heal college basketball’s ills?
I had a terrific lunch-time conversation with someone involved in college athletics, a person whose perspectives I admire because I know he hasn’t come to them easily. The jumping-off point for our discussion was the recent formation of the College Basketball Partnership, or CBP. It is a collection of coaches, administrators, broadcasters and NCAA staff, convened at the urging of NCAA President Myles Brand. Its task is to “address the challenges and opportunities” facing college basketball, especially at the Division…
