Music and sports are two of the most unifying and emotional forces around. Without much effort, both create an intensity every other industry craves. Put those two forces together, united with the same goal and the result is epic. The weeklong SxSWi conference, which ended last week in Austin, was devoted to innovators from every […]
Right, wrong or indifferent, the Houston Astros have long been a team that pride themselves on being a hometown team. It’s because of that Texas flair and sense of entitlement we’ve all become accustomed to and our loyalty extends almost to a fault. It’s that unprecedented pride we feel about our barbeque, our cowboy boots […]
Back in December 2010, the Yardbarker column written by Houston Sports and More (HSM) asked The Blonde Side to preview Week 13 with the Houston Texans headed to her beloved Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial. She highlights Mike Vick, Trent Cole and of course Andre Johnson of the Texans. Read what The Blonde Side had […]
Some dropped balls we anticipate more than others. Like the New Year’s Eve ball that drops every year at Times Square. We know it’s going to happen and so we wait for it with baited breath. Hell, we even throw parties in honor of it. Dropped balls in football – not so much. Take Braylon […]
When I tell people I’m from Virginia and follow that up with the fact I’m a HUGE Philadelphia Eagles fan, a perplexed look immediately swoops across their faces. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out why. Newsflash: Virginia isn’t home to any NFL team and never has been. Sure, the Washington Redskins […]
Breast cancer awareness month has officially ended, but the long-standing affects from league efforts are still kicking. I hate to use the word trendy in relation to breast cancer, but the pink ribbon phenomenon and proceeds from product XYZ benefiting breast cancer charity XYZ are compelling. So much so, the NFL and a handful of […]
I know exactly when it happened. The day I became a real, big-time Dallas Hater. I was 11 months old, sitting on my mom’s lap wearing a onesie that read, “This is your brain [Redskins helmet]. This is your brain on drugs [Cowboys star].” I knew from then on that to get anywhere in life […]
Let’s be honest. If there’s one thing worse than Heidi Montag’s 19-surgery day, it’s the Chicago Cubs. They are the epitome of the laugh factor inside the MLB and have been since their last championship in 1908. Yes, 1908 – twenty-two years after Henry Ford invented his first horseless carriage, aka car. So a long […]
Fantasies come in all shapes and sizes. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston in one bed for example. Most chicks don’t fantasize about sports unless of course it includes a raunchy affair with a steroid-stiff athlete, but since when I have been most chicks? Growing up I was never that kid that wanted to […]
So this chick officially rocks in my book. The Asian Sensation herself, Susan Shan, just featured me on her sports in review site as a ‘Hot Fan‘. I mean, could my head get any bigger than this accolade? It kinda turns me on to meet other chicks that KNOW and LOVE sports and she sure […]
