I feel like that really uncool kid eating lunch at the edge of the cafeteria all alone, except replace the lunch table for a high-def TV and that’ll be me tonight. No, it’s not the Madness that comes with March. It’s not even the NIT, but big news in The Blonde Side’s...

HOUSTON — Linsanity officially ended at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday. At that moment, point guard Jeremy Lin became a member of the Rockets, perhaps transforming Texas into the Lin Star State. Or maybe the 6-foot-3 Asian American phenomenon will inspire the era of Linergy, in homage to the...

On Feb. 24, 2011, Houston lost a piece of its soul. Not just in the local sports world, but in the community as well. In a moment of reverse déjà vu, Shane Battier was traded back to the Memphis Grizzlies — the same team Houston acquired him in exchange for Stromile Swift and the draft...
