Picket Fence Vids: We sing. We dance. We steal players. *Updated*

Posted on 13, July, 2009 by dootsiez

Or would, if we could. Adelaide tries to take some credit for the Mighty Fed’s success with a rare footage of Federer practicing there in 1999 with Peter Carter.

“We got him started.” Yeah. Nice try.

Those sideburns made me vomit into my own mouth a little.

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand has put up his interview with Federer on his site. Clickey to view. Interestingly, Federer did pick up the criticisms on the military jacket.

And thanks to Nadine for sending me this clip. Holy smokes! From my one attempt at making an MV, I know how hard this stuff is, and what an amazing video concept! Brings back all the lovely French Open memories, which somehow still trumps Wimbledon for me.

Props. Serious props.

I hated this RF v. RF interview actually. Can’t they talk about anything other than fashion? It hardly seems like two sportsmen talking to each other!!

  Nike arranged the interview, you bet they’re going to talk about fashion.

      dont mind the fashion talk at this stage, since there’s nothing on.
      But when the tour starts again for the top guys, it’ll be SO nice to refocus on the tennis!

Dootzie, thank you for posting that 2nd vid. I hadn’t seen it before. The Roger parts were great, but the sadness of the Rafa parts was equally compelling.

(still can’t figure out how to change my user pic *sigh*)

  hmm if you have your own pic then you must have an account with gravatar. Or at least it recognises you. Try and see if you can change it on gravatar.

    Did I thank you for the gravatar info? I think I did. But if not… THANK YOU.
    
    I have absolutely no idea how/when I signed up for wordpress and gravatar. But clearly I did. I have internet skillz. Really I do! But they are mostly centered around google searching. )
