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.

Sportswoman of the Week Ending 8/3/2025


Summer sports abound, we turn our attention to the swimming pool and one of the, if not the greatest American swimmer in history.  Katie Ledecky continues to assault the swimming record books fending of younger challengers now as she approaches 30 years old.  At the 800m distance there is no question.  She has not lost a major race at the distance since 2012.  She hasn't left the last four Olympics with fewer than five medals.  American legend and the Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
