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 8/4/2024


The "Greatest of All Time" (a.k.a. "GOAT") can be thrown around loosely at times without perspective.  Current best player.  Your favorite player on your team.  But in Women's Gymnastics the debate is over.  Simone Biles cemented her legacy in the sport and Olympic history leading the women's team Gold Medal then following it up with her own All Around.  The level of difficulty.  Execution.  The sub-5 footer jumps like 11 feet in the air.  Speaking of 11, we're talking 11 Olympics medals, 7 Gold (all 2016 and 2024), in each case most of all time.  Not to mention her issues with mental challenges in the 2020 Olympics and what she overcame at age 27 (ancient for a gymnast).  GOAT.  Of Gymnastics.  An inspiration.  And great Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
