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 2/15/2026


What a week for sports, headlined by the Olympics.  And there is a new all-time Gold Medal Winter Olympics holder.  All time.  Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo continues to dominate cross-country skiing in a way not seen in his sport, or really any Winter Olympics sport.  Over three Olympiads now, the Norwegian has scored 9 gold medals.  Three in 2018, two in 2022, and now four (out of four) in 2026.  He still has two more chances to get to double digits.  Most of his contests have not been close, meaning he's turned events into a silver medal contest for the other 8 billion human beings that are living right now.  Amazing and legendary.  And he has more chances for medals.  And he's only 29.  Klaebo is under the radar for sports greatness, but not here, he is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
