Photo cred: Deadspin
By now, many people the world over are familiar with Chris Cooley’s err… umm… member.
Cooley, in addition to being a pro-bowl tight end and eccentric fan favorite is a web-savvy blogger, and has creatively used his own site to regain a treasured tomahawk purloined from Chief Zee, and circumvent the team’s video regulations.
We all know Chris is a fun loving guy but—whether inadvertently or intentionally—crossed the line of good taste Sunday when he posted a picture of part of the Redskins playbook along with the aforementioned organ.
Dr. Dan Steinberg has the skinny from Chris’ brother, Tanner on the failure to follow The Chris Cooley Blog editorial procedures.
Deadspin picked up on this, and has perhaps the most hilarious quote of this whole episode:
I'm not big on saving too many text messages, but the one I received at 9:02 p.m. last evening while sitting in a Chili's in Hermosa Beach will probably be archived for eternity: “Hey, it's Tanner Cooley. I need to talk to you about my brother's [edited] picture on the site. Call me.”
I’m a bit skeptical that this was unintentional. If you watch the video interview with Steinberg, Cooley admitted he hangs out with noted testicular pranksters Jon Jansen and Casey Rabach, and that they are his “joke clique,” and said that when it comes to this stuff, “honestly to say I’m pretty high on the list…We’re all like normal dudes when we come home… but you go to work and you’re hanging out with 60 guys and you turn into a 12 year old or 15 year old. That’s just the nature of 60 guys hanging out together.”
I think this was a case of taking a joke meant for the locker room guys outside the locker room. It didn’t play in Peoria as they say. I can understand this to an extent, you should have seen the stuff my fraternity brothers did at Maryland.
How many times have we all said or did something that we wish we could take back seconds within the time we said or did it. I think that is the case here with Chris. Let’s remember that he is only 26, and when I was that age the frat house wasn’t completely out my system yet. Chris rightly apologized and as The Curly R said, learned a lesson. So let’s lighten up, it is not like he passed out in front of a Supreme Court Justice.
Playing the Field has some photo shop fun with this.
