Do You Like Football?

by Pete Wann

I don’t. At least not when it’s played by multi-millionaire crybabies. I prefer my footballers to be young, impressionable, and indentured servants.

Nevertheless, there are a WHOLE BUNCH of people out there who DO like pro football, but not that many in Fort Worth who have their own YouTube channel devoted to it.

That is, until the YouTube channel created by friend of W&C Jeff Wooten came along.

Check out his show, give him the love he deserves, then go back to arguing about who’s a better QB, Aikman or Romo.

P.S. — Am I the only one who’s annoyed when people refer to a pro sports team with possessive nouns? i.e. “Our kicker is awesome!” Etc.

    Mayor Mike’s unabashed connections to energy companies are getting some attention from the think tanks. “Always suspect anyone who approaches an ethical issue purely in terms of law or in terms of character.”
  • YouTube - Fort Worth Mayor Skydive with Army Golden Knights
    Speaking of Mayor Mike…Here’s your chance to see him take a flying leap.

  • Ever imagine what it looks like from the cockpit of a passenger jet landing and taking off from DFW? The Airliner blog has the videos, Captain.
  • The Fort Worthian finds that silver lining after getting a traffic citation. A trip downtown to deal with the ticket led Steve to Bailey BBQ on Taylor, a place he’d never noticed before.
  • The Durango Texas blog has writeup and YouTube-ry from last Saturday’s PrairieFest. You’ll see our booth at about 3:16 on the video! We are famous in the internet! Durango Texas looks like a pretty interesting read (especially the frequent Star-Telegram bashing) and I am looking forward to spending some time on the site.
  • No guarantees this is exactly legal or even moral, but this here blog has links to bootleg recordings of Jimi Hendrix at the Memorial Auditorium in Dallas on Feb 16, 1968 and the Will Rogers Auditorium here in Fort Worth on Feb 17, 1968. Tom Huckabee talked at length about Hendrix at Will Rogers in our comments a few months back. I wonder if there was ‘l’amore’ in the bushes that night?
