  • Houston Sports Awards Provides Glitz, Surprises
    Think of it as Houston’s version of the ESPYs. A star-studded night filled with glitz, glam, tears and, as always, a few surprises. A night when Houston’s A-list sports figures strolled down the blue carpet and celebrated seven decades of the city’s rich sports history. A night when you could walk past A.J. Foyt’s Indy car and a wall of memories and watch George Foreman share a few laughs with legendary former Masters and PGA champion Jackie Burke. An amazing night that had everyone talking. Among those in the house February 6 for the second annual Houston Sports Awards presented by Insperity? Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, former Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware, NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon, University of Houston quarterback D’Eriq King, Houston Texans linebacker Whitney Mercilus, Nigerian Olympic bobsledder Seun Adigan, former Texan Andre Johnson, Calvin Murphy, WNBA Hall of Famers Cynthia Cooper and Sheryl Swoopes and Roger Clemens – to name a few. There too were the second class of the Houston Sports Hall of Fame – Burke, Foyt, Foreman and former Houston Oilers’ quarterback Dan Pastorini, the soul of the Luv Ya Blue Oilers of the late 1970s. And who could miss gold-jacketed Pro Football Hall of Famers Elvin Bethea, Joe Greene, Robert Brazile, Curley Culp and Kenny Houston cheering as the four new Houston Sports Hall of Famers slipped on their white jackets? And people wondered how the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority come close to topping last year’s inaugural event that honored Houston’s 34s -- Earl Campbell, Olajuwon and Nolan Ryan – and ended with the announcement of the creation of the Houston Sports Hall of Fame and the first inductee class – Campbell, Olajuwon and Ryan.
