Freddy The Beard's Blog & Website

In researching websites for the links section of PoolBum or watching YouTube videos to find cool ones to embed here, I have found a lot of interesting and entertaining stuff. Well, I just found one that was so much fun I spent the better part of an afternoon exploring it.

What the blogs and websites of Freddy "The Beard" Bentivegna lack in slick modern web techniques they more then make up for in pure pool entertainment. A great collection of vintage video clips of so many of the great old time players and gamblers, war stories, strategy tips for one pocket and of course The Beard's specialty: banking. Do yourself a favor and check him out but be sure you don't have anything else to do for several hours! 

Some of the things I enjoyed the most were...

a collection of war stories, footage of Fats accepting his induction into the Hall of Fame (wow, what a piece of work, lol), some great vintage footage of the Johnston City days, some interesting interviews and I didn't get half way when I decided to write this. If you want to start as I did and just explore, here's the link to Freddy's main blog page.
