Of Fair Hooker

This post on our good Fair Hooker has been up for over a year, but I never noticed it until now; it contains a reference to this blog. I found it just now looking at my Google Analytics account, which can show me such things as where I'm getting traffic from, both geographically and via linkage.

I don't think I've ever actually written anything about Fair Hooker on this blog, I just used his name because he played for the Browns and had a funny name. Same reason I used Elmer Flick and World B. Free's names, representing the Indians and Cavaliers, respectively. So until I actually do that, allow the above link to serve as an introduction to the actual man whose name is the first name of this blog. I love the following story, which I'd never heard before, from a Browns-Jets Monday Night Football game:

Apparently after Hooker caught a pass, commentator Don Meredith was heard to exclaim "Isn't Fair Hooker a great name?" Keith Jackson said "I'll pass" and Howard Cosell remained silent, so Meredith continued on: "Fair Hooker...I haven't met one yet."
