<p>Carson Wentz will be traded or released by Colts prior to March 18th, according to reports. &nbsp;Time has come to finally get the QB position right. &nbsp;Rams and Bengals show path to championship. &nbsp;Bengals had a choice in the '21 draft - WR JaMarr Chase or OL Penei Sewell. &nbsp;They took Chase! &nbsp;Lions took Sewell! &nbsp;</p> <p>Sasha Stefanovic stars as Purdue beats Maryland by one on phenomenal final defensive stand. &nbsp;</p> <p>Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Smith shine as Pacers lose again to fall closer to success!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts defensive coordinator and IU's Tom Allen both enjoy LEO - although Bradley's is unique! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Basketball's Mike Woodson introduced five players to a meaningful consequence Tuesday night, and hopefully that allows integrity to flourish within his program. &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Pacers may be busy today putting the finishing touches on Phase A of the roster renovation!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Nelson cannot be paid 10% of the Colts cap and allow them to contend for a championship. &nbsp;Beginning March 16, NFL teams can trade. &nbsp;Nelson could fetch a nice bounty, so Chris Ballard should do that! &nbsp;</p> <p>Mike Woodson has reinstated the five suspended players, and they will be on the floor at Michigan State. &nbsp;Woodson mentioned the need for players to adhere to curfew, which you might have inferred is the reason the players were suspended. &nbsp;Connecting those dots is what IU wants you to do. &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Pacers made a minor deal with the Suns at the deadline - Torrey Craig for Jalen Smith. &nbsp;Smith will be a free agent at season's end, so that is more cap money for Kevin Pritchard to spend on upgrades!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Gus Bradley smiled a lot with the media today, and he addressed Colts fans' greatest fears about taking over for Matt Eberflus. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Mike Woodson suspended five players for breaking team rules. &nbsp;In 1978 years ago, Woodson was put on probation for breaking team rules. &nbsp;That makes him a good learner - not a hypocrite! &nbsp;The next step is finding the leader of the Hoosier Five and sending him home. &nbsp;</p> <p>With one day until the NBA's trade deadline, all is quiet for the Pacers, but that could change with another Woj Bomb!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Mike Woodson suspends five for last night's loss, but will that be all? Playing at IU is a privilege, not a right.

<p>IU Basketball is about togetherness and accountability and Mike Woodson made that clear tonight. Now it's up to Xavier Johnson, Khristian Lander, Tamar Bates, Michael Durr, and Parker Stewart to decide whether they want to be a part of the Hoosier program, and how deep are they willing to buy in. &nbsp;</p> <p>Yeah, Indiana lost, but what happens this season will be determined by what happens because of this loss.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Las Vegas Raiders media video loops of Raiders defensive gaffes don't show Gus Bradley fairly. &nbsp;Coaches as a whole take more criticism than they deserve! &nbsp;</p> <p>Mike Woodson did not suddenly get stupid after beating Purdue at Assembly Hall and Maryland on the road. &nbsp;Illinois won because it was the better team. &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Pacers are in a position to amass championship assets Kevin Pritchard can use to execute an offseason to remember!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
