Sportsman of the Week Ending 10/27/2013

It's the crunch time for baseball, and once again a Boston Red Sox hitter is our Sportsman of the Week.  David Ortiz had a week that has all of  baseball scratching their heads...how to get him out.  Over the first four games of the World Series, Big Papi was 8 out of 11 (.727), with 2 HR and a double.  He scored 5 and knocked in 5.  He also tied a World Series record by reaching base on nine straight plate appearances (counting Monday's effort, in which he was 3/4 and raised his .727 average if that's possible).  It was a very tough decision given Calvin Johnson's unbelievable effort, but it is the World Series, so David Ortiz is your Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!

Sportsman of the Week Ending 12/23/2012

This week's Sportsman of the Week broke one of the most iconic records in the NFL.  Calvin Johnson hauled in 11 passes (4th straight week of over 10 receptions) for 225 yards in moving his season total to 1892 yards, breaking the 17-year old record held by the 49ers great Jerry Rice.  All this, with one game still yet to play.  Not to mention on a team that has very few other reliable receiver options and a very nondescript running game.  Johnson is truly etching his name among the NFL receiving greats, and an outstanding Sportsman of the Week!
