State of Black Houston

One of the inherent recompenses for researchers is the proliferation of little known or overlooked data one has to sift through to find corresponding information to validate the topic that one is dealing with. Especially since the Internet has ideally replaced the library as researcher’s major resource. However, as amazing as the various, information rich search engines are, the wide diversity of ideologies that a wide diversity of people espouse is even more amazing; in particular, the ideologies of new wave bloggers that are allowed to hide behind pseudonyms and code names.

Texans shine in Pro Bowl; Schaub wins MVP
By Yolande Y. Lezine
Forward Times Sports Writer


Matt Schaub throws to Andre Johnson The Houston Texans were well represented in Miami, Florida as five of the hometown teams stars played in the first Pro Bowl held before the Super Bowl.

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who was a replacement for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, showed he belonged amongst the NFL's best stars as he put on a MVP performance in leading the AFC to a 41-34 victory at Sun Life Stadium.

Schaub, who led the league with 4,770 passing yards in 2009, earned Pro Bowl MVP honors after guiding the AFC to a 41-34 victory. In his first-career Pro Bowl, Schaub tossed two touchdown passes and finished with 189 yards passing, completing 13-of-17 passes.
