Houston Sports Rapp

Hands down…Mark Cuban.

Besides the fact that you will never see another owner with the drive and hustle that Mark has shown to become successful at such a young age, he’s actually a man of the people when it comes to his Mavs. Someone you and I can all relate to in his love for his team and the players on it. How many other sports team owners do you know that will leave the confines of their plush luxury boxes and actually mingle with the very fans that generate revenue? Mark does. How many other owners send a personal email stating “my treat, have fun” with courtside tickets to someone who just wanted to experience what a Mavs game had to offer? Mark did. How many others owners scream down refs after no calls and call out the Commish when he deems it necessary? Yep, you guessed it. How many other owners make the visitors locker room just a plush for the opposition as for his own guys? Mark again…are you seeing a pattern here?

Calling all Texas Sneakerheads…

And the winner all day is…..

My man Reid tackled the Super Monster not only in one sitting but within 2 segments of Sports Rapp Live (every Thurs nite at Freebirds Shepherd Plaza from 7-9pm) Thanks to Premium Goods for that xxl Tee, Reid’s gonna need it. As for the Super Monster goes…there’s one waiting to be put down by you at the nearest Freebirds, if you dare!!

As many of you know, the Air Jordan 2010 officially releases this Saturday, February 13- meaning it falls in the middle of the NBA All-Star weekend. Therefore, Jordan Brand is taking advantage of the timing and hoping everyone gets to enjoy its 23/25 energy space as it continues to celebrate 25 years of Air Jordans. From this Thursday, February 11 to Sunday, February 14, you are welcome to visit 2350 Victory Park Lane in Dallas Texas (adjacent to W Hotel Victory Park) between 11:00 AM and midnight to enjoy several Jordan Brand treats. Included in the festivities are a Jordan shoe gallery, ID23 customization, visits by the likes of DJ Bobbito Garciaon February 13 and Rich Medina on February 12, performances by the likes of Wale, Bun B, and Jadakiss, and much more. It appears to be a great way to both celebrate the past and ring in the future.

Here are your Sneak(s) of The Week in honor of All Star Sneakend in Dallas and brought to you live by our good friends over at PREMIUM GOODS in Rice Village…for all the details you just gotta tune in tonite to Sports Rapp Live or in Houston say F U rain and come on down to Freebirds Burrito in shepherd plaza from 7-9pm for big talk, big burritos, and buckets o beer….photos courtesy of Sneakerfiles and Sole Collector

Here are some great pics shot by DirtyJerz, a dope Austin area photographer who has an incredible collection of photos of everyone’s favorite christian soft rock band GWAR! Who doesn’t love blood and who knows what sprayed all over them amidst a mass of angry hateful teenagers and old burned out rockers? I know I do…check it out!

Saw XII

Now if you’ve never been to a GWAR show, you must understand that these guys all have mothers too so don’t judge a book by its mutilated cover…

Awh isn't he sweet?

Who dat gonna get some?

Ha, good luck with that! That’s about the only thing that AIN’T happenin this week in NOLA.  Actually according to reports the hotel industry per capita is peaking like never before(the city of New Orleans lost quite a few motels and inns due to guess who…that chic everyone keeps talkin about that came to the Big Easy and wrecked shop like a bia, so it could be even crazier this week) and people from all over the south are pouring in to Bourbon St. by the thousands pumping life into an economy many people thought had been all but snuffed out. (haha Brownie, tell me how N’AWLINS taste!) In my heart I couldn’t be happier for Louisiana and especially the city of New Orleans.

I just wanted to post this pic before the Prez did…we’ll talk about it tonite on the show! 7-9 pm right here on Houston Sports Rapp dot com you angels.

In the meantime…read this!
