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 2/8/2026


A highlight (if not THE highlight) of the United States of America sports calendar.  It doesn't matter who is playing, fans gather in bars and houses, eat fun junk food, gear up for commercial releases, a halftime show, and, oh yeah, a football game.  Our Blog is about sports so we stick to that (although Chicken Wings should be a multi-Sportsfood of the Week).  The Seattle Seahawks emerged victorious 29-13 over the New England Patriots in a relatively lopsided (but not as much as it seemed) victory.  The story of the day was the Seahawks defense, which kept the Patriots offense off-balance at best, discombobulated at worst.  They ramshackled Drake Maye for six sacks and three interceptions including one returned for a touchdown.  But on offense, it was Kenneth Walker III who set the tone with big gains in the first half to establish the Seahawks 9-0 lead at halftime which at numbers seems low, but was comfortable.  Walker III rushed 27 times for 135 yards (tack on 26 in the passing game) and he was the man of the match.  The perfect complement to a defense that was allowing nothing.  Walker III won the Super Bowl MVP and is the Longhordave Sportsman of the Week! 

This is Kenneth Walker III second Sportsman of the Week, the last 4+ years ago in college.
