If you’ve ever wondered what a professional baseball player does in his offseason, it’s probably a whole lot more than you think. Especially for someone like Chris Johnson, who struggled a bit last season (hitting .251 after a .308 average in 2010), going in and out of the lineup and even back to the minor […]
I don’t remember the exact age, but somewhere very early in life, I fell in love with baseball. Most definitely the sport itself, but also with the men who play said sport. It’s virtually the same as being an avid Jonas Brother’s trailblazing fan and holding out a little piece of your heart for Joe […]
Clutch is more than a furry cheerleader with hilarious non-verbal antics parading around the Toyota Center. Having shadowed the Houston Rockets mascots at a recent game, I’m not sure anyone is more excited to see the NBA back in action than Clutch himself. With the Rockets riding a seven-game winning streak going into Wednesday night’s […]

You’ve disconnected yourself from every Internet-related device, television, radio andhuman being in H-Town if you’ve missed that fun little tidbit of info. While much of the focus has been […]
Kids, Playoffs, Diamonds and Dogpiles. Oh, And Smart Cars Too.

The lovely ladies (Leigh and Mary) over at Girl Around Town contacted The Blonde Side to contribute to their gift giving guide for the 2011 holidays looking to add a sporty element to their already fashionably fashion ideas. Clearly tomboys need gifts too, so why not ask the girl who loves and knows sports and […]
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 […]
With 48 seconds left on the pregame clock before the Mavs’ season opener, the Miami Heat scurried off the court into the dark quarters of the visiting locker room. On the court, however, the Mavs and their fans celebrated something they’ve waited 31 long-suffering years for – the raising of a NBA Championship banner to […]
Remember when Paris Hilton and crew accidentally leaked her sex tape back in ‘04 and all of a sudden she became famous? It paved the way for people like Dustin Diamond, Kim Kardashian and even Laurence Fishburne’s daughter to leak their very own junior varsity level sex tapes and caught on like white trash wildfire […]
