With baseball season firmly packed into the history books, at least as far as the Astros and the rest of the NL Central are concerned (hi Cubs fans!), and basketball season around the corner, there's plenty of blog fodder out there this week. Here's what bloggers are saying about our sports teams:
- The Rockets are hemorrhaging point guards. Even though the word on the street is that Rafer Alston is on the trading block, there's still no clear starter as the Rockets begin training camp. The awesome True Hoop over at ESPN has a rundown.
- Dynamo player Ricardo Clark was suspended and fined ten grand this week after delivering a wicked kick to Carlos Ruiz of FC Dallas. At least it gets the MLS in the news, right? With Leather has an amusing take, and the video.
- Freakish 19-year old Texans rookie Amobi Okoye was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month. Rack up a couple more of these, and he'll be a shoe-in for Defensive ROY.
- We'll take any excuse to link to The Dugout. A passing reference to the Astros works in this situation.
- DGDB&D doesn't like one of the Texans cornerbacks. To put it lightly.
- Aaron Brooks may not be the Rockets' answer at point (yet), but he can shoot the lights out. ClutchFans has the coverage.
That'll do it for this week. Check back next week, and every week until the Apocalypse for the sports blog zeitgeist.
