<p>HBO coming to Indy! Will they bring wins? No! So why invite them? Colts and Rams have a long and strange history, and the Rams defense is as good as there is. &nbsp;Indiana has its chance to change minds tomorrow against Cincinnati. &nbsp;Will Notre Dame allow Purdue to squeeze its drum onto the field tomorrow? &nbsp;Cubs relief pitcher Tommy Nance should have been fired before the game in Philly ended last night.</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>
