Which is exactly how Trevor Hoffman became a wild sensation not just in San Diego, but in the hearts and gloves of Major Leaguers everywhere. I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing one of baseball’s greatest moments this past weekend, at least in my lifetime – the San Diego Padre’s retirement ceremony for Trevor Hoffman’s […]
At Houston’s second annual Hot Undies Run, I learned something very important: The simple term underwear is now synonymous with boxers, boxer briefs, loincloths, Spanx, spandex, long johns, corsets, thongs, boy shorts. And treasure trolls. Underwear also comes in all shapes and sizes. Just take my word for it. When over 700 pairs of undies […]
Even from a Houston sports non-traditionalist like myself, I have to admit Clutch is one of the best mascots in the NBA. Hands down. Possibly even in all of sports. Yes, I said it. If there were such a thing as mascot camp, Clutch would surely be the leader, right? Right. In it’s second year […]
IF BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, WHAT’S THICKER THAN HAIR COLOR? Pretend it’s a bouquet, I screamed from the sidelines of practice. Most of the girls I hang around with on a daily basis are born and bred athletes. They’ve watched football, played in co-ed leagues, participated in some sort of collegiate sport – it’s […]
Other notable renovations this season were the Press Box and the addition of the Insperity Club (which boasts eco-friendly reclaimed glass counter tops and automatic lighting features) by local General Contractor, Regas Construction. Reputable companies like the Astros going on record about their dedication to the local community serve as a leader for other businesses […]
Twenty-four hours to start and finish a 10K. Amazing, right? This coming from the girl who earlier this year clocked a painful 2:45 for the Houston Half. Twenty-four hours to run 6.21 miles? Piece. Of. Cake. This was all part of Nike’s first ever digital race, She Runs LA. Simply breaking down the name, here’s […]
It might sound redundant, especially on a day as important as NFL Draft Day, but there were in fact cheerleaders for the cheerleaders last night at Reliant Stadium and they were in full force. About 15 minutes before Carolina announced the first round draft pick overall, fans gathered on the Club Level to see the […]
The first thing I noticed entering the Methodist Training Center for Saturday’s Texans Cheerleader tryouts was the food. But the smell of burritos, the Tres leches staring me in the face and the lure of ice-cold Miller Lite was quickly put on the backburner as I noticed 425 of Houston’s finest women lit up in […]
The NFL has been a staple in my life longer than My Little Ponies. Seriously. And for better or worse I tend to dwell on comparing people. I’ve been known to compare myself to my boyfriend’s exes a time or two, and it’s not a pretty site. For anyone. I’m also a big fan of […]
Really Christian Ponder? How about you get a clue. In response to your ill-timed tweet lacking respect and any semblance of school spirit, that’s what you should get, a clue. A clue about being a real fan. Of all people, you should know just how important fans are during every single game, especially a game […]
