<p>Indiana Basketball plays four Big 10 back-markers twice each. &nbsp;That's eight wins - leaving them 16 away from the magic 24 number! &nbsp;Colts injury report will be the big news today. &nbsp;If Wentz, Fisher, Nelson, and Rhodes are full go, there is reason for optimism Sunday against the Seahawks! &nbsp;Big 12 expanding by four with three AAC members. &nbsp;Cubs Ian Happ continues rake fest in win against Reds!</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>If the Colts are going to win their first opener since 2013, they need to win five martchups where the Seahawks are stout! &nbsp;Today's less than fun fact - Seattle is 12-1 in the last 13 games they have played in the Eastern Time Zone. &nbsp;Good news is that Eric Fisher has not been ruled out!</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>Wentz has not been vaccinated, which puts his availability in question. &nbsp;Darius Leonard has made the same decision. &nbsp;Does it make sense as professional - as teammates - to avoid what makes it more likely you will be able to compete? &nbsp;Indiana is a four-point dog at Iowa. &nbsp;If the Hoosiers are for real, that is an enticing number, but not the best bet of the day!</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>If Carson Wentz had spoken about his decision to not be vaccinated as he did today when camp opened, the splash back would have been far less severe. &nbsp;Darius Leonard revealed he hasn't been vaccinated because he doesn't know enough, which is true because he plays football instead of studying viruses and vaccines! &nbsp;Indiana Basketball in good shape with recruit Noah Clowney after his visit. &nbsp;IU Football ranked second most overrated Big 10 program, which is great news for the Hoosiers!</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 made their cuts today, and there was one name not on the cut list I believed would be. &nbsp;And Chris Ballard/Frank Reich has two QBs available for the opener, unless Sam Ehlinger heals very quickly. &nbsp;Should Cam Newton be an option as a backup for the Colts? &nbsp;Colts traded for one of the offensive lineman responsible for Carson Wentz's 50 sacks in 2020!</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>
