Houston Sports Blog Roundup 10/15 Edition

With the wounds from the Texans' loss to the Jaguars still fresh this morning, let's browse the blog world and see if there's any good news to be found.

- Here we go. Rick Adelman + Rafer Alston = BFF. OMG ROFL. ;)

- The Chronicle picks up a new blogger/editiorial columnist. It's always amusing to watch a non-Houston native try to put their finger on the pulse of this city's schizophrenic sports fans. It's just like watching a baby take its first steps...down a flight of stairs. With dingoes at the bottom of the stairs.

- USA Today ran a fun interview with 20 Amobi Okoye. Seriously, this guy needs a kick-ass nickname, stat. How does "The Manchild" sound?

- DGDB&D asks the best Texans question all year: when Andre Johnson got hurt in week 2, why was he going across the middle in the first place?

- Hoops Blogging has a great Rockets season preview. Optimism is in short supply for our other teams; maybe the Rockets will be the silver lining on a hit-or-miss 2007.

- The Dynamo are very, very close to another Western Conference championship. The Offside walks us through the various scenarios.

That'll do it for this week. Check back again next week for more scuttlebutt. Man, it feels good to say scuttlebutt.
