Blog 1

Randy Harvey is a sports columnist for the Houston Chronicle, but he also frequently blogs about the Texans. He started off writing beats for the Lakers, but his specialty is in football. He has covered 12 super bowls. He spent three years as an editor and 30 years total on the Los Angeles Times before deciding to go back to writing about sports for the Houston Chronicle.

Harvey's writing style is a combination of informative, tongue-and-and cheek, and opinionated with a lot of very evident football knowledge. He slips in clever lines covering his opinion, but also has a very intelligent and analytical eye for the game. His opinions are mostly one sided, not falling in the middle of a debate very often. His years of sports and writing experience has made him a very well rounded journalist for the Houston Texans.

Mick LaSalle is a film critic and entertainment blogger for the Houston Column. He shares his opinions on movies, but also blogs about the latest film news. This is not similar to "tabloid" journalism. He covers important, researched news, and infuses it with his years of experience as a critic. His style is more succinct than I expected, but still informed and entertaining.
