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 11/24/2024


Another week, another dominating running back performance.  This time in the NFL.  Veteran Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley thrust his name to the shop of the NFL MVP list with a career high performance.  Barkley thrashed the Los Angeles Rams defense for 255 yards on the ground with two touchdowns, from 70 and 72 yards respectively.  He also caught 4 passes (on 4 targets) for another 47 yards surpassing 300 yards of offense single handedly as the Eagles pounded the Rams 37-20 in Prime Time.  The Eagles have been poised for their next championship since their Super Bowl LII victory in 2018, perhaps it is Barkley who is the X-factor to get them to the Super Bowl for the third time in 8 years.  

This is Saquon Barkley's second Sportsman of the Week, his first coming in 2017 as a Penn State Nittany Lion.
