Sixteen days. That's how long my sleeping schedule has been thrown out of whack by watching the Olympic Games. From the audacious opening ceremonies to the, um, equally audacious closing ceremony, I watched an ungodly amount of Olympic competition. Thanks to DVR, I became an old pro at navigating...

How many of you have been enjoying the Olympics? I have been watching as much as possible, and still feel like I can't get enough this year. Besides the fact that the U.S.A. is doing very well overall, with a few pleasant surprises, the underlying theme of sportsmanship and unity as one world...

Hooray for real sports! After what feels like a long sabbatical after the conference finals, the NBA Finals are about to get underway. As a basketball nut myself, I am so glad to see its return. The past week has shown just how empty the sports world can be.
For instance, the biggest...

Funny how things work out, it seems like only yesterday when Houstonians were in a rage about Roger Clemens deciding to leave us and follow his buddy Andy Pettitte (another traitor). How could he just turn his back on his friends, his teammates and fans? I'll tell you how,...

The proposal by the Victoria Parks and Recreation Commission to build a BMX bicycle track adjacent to the skate park near the community center is a good idea.
However, residents of the community, especially those who love BMX bicycles, should get involved. So far, no one has attended two...

So the Cowboys and Packers got a head start on me, but there are still another 15 games this weekend and there are some matchups that could help your team make that last playoff push, or help sew up that first-round bye.
Lions at Vikings: Adrian Peterson is probable for this on, but you still...

I must admit that I'm underwhelmed by the reponse to the question of "Who owns Victoria?"
Here was just days away from the game and I'm getting nothing from the parties involved. Am I to believe that the Aggies and Longhorns of Victoria skip about hand-in-hand picking daisies and...

Is Victoria a Longhorn town or an Aggie town?
Most complaints aimed at the Advocate sports page come from Aggies. Does this mean that there are more Aggies, or that the Aggie population is just a bunch of whiny sore losers?
Does the lack of letters from Longhorns mean there aren't...

There I was, reading the Victoria Advocate, lo and behold I noticed where five members of the vicad staff made their picks for 17 bi-district matchups this weekend. How do 4 out 5 vicad staff substantiate their picking of Hitchcock over Edna in their bi-district matchup on Friday night...

This was a rough weekend for people that listened to me for fantasy advice. The Advocate's intrepid education reporter Bj Lewis asked me if he should go with LaDainian Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson in his single-RB league. I told him that he couldn't go wrong either way, but that I though...

Straight Money: Yeah the Packers...

One could talk about BIg Ben Roethlisberger's five-TD night against the Ravens, or Drew Brees' 445 passing yards against Jacksonville, but those games whimper in the mighty shadow of Adrian Peterson.
Peterson ran for an NFL-record 296 yards against the Chargers, leading the Vikings to a huge...
