It's ok Chris Cooley, we don't really like you either

In a recent interview with SI.com about life on the road, Redskins' TE Chris Cooley was asked about his least favorite city to visit.

Chris Cooley:Philly. I really don't like Philly. I got a cheesesteak the first time I went there, but other than that, there's just nothing exciting about Philly.

Later in the interview, he reveals the real reason for his dislike of the city...

SI:Which city has the most rabid fans?

Chris Cooley:Philly. We got eggs thrown at our bus when we came into town last season.

The last Eagles v Redskins game I went to, Eagles fans were certain to let Cooley and the other Skins know how they felt.

I’d say the rabid fans got them pretty riled up, so how can he say there’s nothing exciting about Philly?

That said, you always dislike what you fear. I hate all these baiting interviews. Athletes just need to learn to keep their mouths shut. He’s just giving the Eagles fanbase more ammo.

next time, instead of yelling suck, for cooley they can yell “crybaby”

And you know—and I know—that they will. Eagles fans NEVER forget.

I guess I would fear them because of the stupid sh*t I could get myself into…good thing I’m not (semi) famous like Cooley.

My chant for next season

COOLEY NEEDS A BOOBY!! Clap Clap….Clap-Clap-Clap

Taking Route 36 will bring you to Touchdown,PHI

posted this on the700level...

but it applies to the same story:

cooley lives up to his name. he’s the most down-to-earth, regular-joe, cool guy you could hope for in an athletic idol.

not that i idolize him or anything, but have you seen his wife/house/lifestyle/job? it’s hard not to like the dude, because he’s so….cool. his blog is hilarious as was his fantasy football draft: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7206608317825789483

his show is going to be great: http://comcastsportsnet.tv/pages/cooley_blog
(this is the best i could do ever since the NFL pulled his tv show preview video off of youtube)

can’t hate on the guy because he plays for the skins. now if he was on NY or dallas, totally different story.

It all seems like a big act to me. He does all these goofy things to get attention.

by JasonB on May 21, 2009 2:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, it could be

but it’s entertaining to me either way

Thats fine.

I’m just saying that Cooley wasn’t prancing around Skins camp in underwear cause he’s a down earth normal guy. He’s putting on act to get attention. IMO.

by JasonB on May 21, 2009 2:35 PM EDT reply actions  

it's BECAUSE of that underwear story

that i think he IS a down to earth, normal guy. so many pro athletes try to look cool and buy into the hype and inflated ego that comes with it. no one else would have worn that to practice, but because cooley is a regular dude (and that’s a funny thing to do to your teammates/coaches/USA), he went with it.

other athletes play pranks or jokes or whatever, but they are too image-conscious to go with something like that. cooley doesn’t care. he’s just a funny guy, IMO.

maybe i identify with him because I’M a character. i like doing stuff like that because it’s funny. it’s an act f or attention just like any “funny” guy telling a story at a party is an act. every attempt at humor is an “act”. you do it for a reaction, so i dont see anything wrong with him.

then again, not everyone likes me, so your point is taken. ;-D

I agree with him doing everything for attention or else nobody would know who he is.. he’s an average player. Better than our TE’s I give you but average by league standards

like the man said "I bleed eagles green, I just wish I didn't have to bleed so much"

Cooley’s pretty awesome. I’m not a fan of other teams but there are a select few players I have respect for from the other teams and he’s one I actually like a lot.

Cooley can be a “regular dude” or “pretty awesome” but he plays for the skins. The skins are in the same division as the birds, therefore I hate him. Simple as that.

by worldphuckinchamps on May 21, 2009 9:48 PM EDT reply actions  

That’s ignorant. You don’t have to root for him. You don’t have to like him. You have no reason to hate him personally, though.
