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 9/21/2025


In a busy time in the sports world, the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo, Japan, featured incredible athletes on a big stage a year after the Paris Olympics. Perhaps the biggest star is the Swedish Pole Vaulter who has quickly demonstrated he's the best in history.  Mondo Duplantis set a World Record with a 6.3m vault, beating his previous record of 6.16m by a good margin.  He's set a World Record now 14 times.  The Swede has won the last two Olympics and doesn't seem to be slowing down.  Certain to be one of the greatest field athletes in history, he's the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
