Who am I?

I'm from Houston, a graduate of the University of Texas, a fan of the Houston Astros and Houston Texans. But this blog will be about the "greater sports", whatever that means.

Sportsman of the Week Ending 9/8/2024


Are we finally to a changing of the guard for Men's Tennis elite after a decade plus of what might be considered the greatest three men's tennis player ever (and 6x Sportsmen of the Week among Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic).  Italian Jannik Sinner took the Big Apple by Storm, slicing through all contenders with ease.  By with ease, I mean dropping only one set and never trailing in sets.  He finished off the popular American finalist Taylor Fritz in straight sets only the last going to a tiebreak.  A machine. The 23-year-old is poised to be the next thing (along with Alcaraz) for years to come.  Meanwhile, Sinner is the United States Open Champion and the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
