About the Founder

Super Bowl XLVI
Great Wall of China
On the Great Wall during 2008 Beijing Olympics

Hello, sports fans, and welcome to indysportslegends.com. My name is Cliff Brunt.

I wrote for The Associated Press for seven years, and when the company downsized in Indianapolis, I decided this would be a good way to continue on my path as a sports writer. I have since returned to the AP as the lead writer in Oklahoma City, but the site is in good hands with Tyler Smith.

I am perhaps best known as the AP’s beat writer for the Indiana Pacers, Purdue football and basketball and the Indiana Fever. Over a 25-plus year sports writing career, I’ve covered the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2016 Rio Olympics, two men’s and one women’s Final Four, Super Bowl XLVI, the College World Series for both men and women, the Indianapolis 500, the NFL Scouting Combine and the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Finals. I was selected for inclusion into the Vikings of Distinction — Omaha North High School’s Hall of Fame — in 2020.

I’ll be covering the Olympics this year in Tokyo as well.

We look forward to continuing on this journey.

God bless,

Cliff Brunt
