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 5/18/2025


Both the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs are rounding into semifinal form. On the NHL side, there is one team left to represent Canada.  The Edmonton Oilers.  A big reason they look poised to capture the cup is their goalie, Stuart Skinner.  This week, Skinner shut down the Las Vegas Golden Knights with two shutouts.  Game, set, match.  27 shots, 27 saves and two wins including a 1-0 overtime.  You can't win if you can't score and Skinner showed that.  The native of Edmonton could be one of the greatest heroes of local yore. Just eight more wins. One octopus.  But for now, the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
