Chris Cooley-Monday Morning Quarterback

Who would have thought our goofball TE out of Utah State would end up becoming such a name player? God if we ever got deep into the post season he'd become a household name.

I just read the whole article - Man, Cooley can write! I expected it to be gramatically correct for the most part, but very basic stuff, i.e. I kinda expected him to write like the other players he's making fun of!

This piece is as well written as many satirical newspaper columnists work, and those guys are paid to do it every week. Good job Cooley!


I am pretty sure they have someone help him write it.


Is it just or from now until about Week One it seems like there is this unreal amount of hype. They get me every year and is probably why when they start losing I get so pissed. I know they are never going to be like we suck this year don't bother watching but the over the type hype just gets old. I wonder if the hype is is this big in Oakland or KC oe someplace where you know they are going to suck.

I agree that cooley is a surprisingly capable writer. I like how he organized the article and to be honest it reads like a Bill Simmons article (which i suppose is a complement considering that Simmons does that for a living).

Well, we would have gone to the second round if he hadn't dropped that pass against the Seahawks a few years ago;) But I still love Cooley. Definitely one of my favorites and cut from the same cloth as Riggins.

Cooley is awsome, its nice to see that there are still intellegent people left in the NFL. That they're not all losers and thugs.

I love the optimism, but we still have an old o-line ..

Cooley makes some great points:

1.) Why doesn't the NFL just extend the goal posts 10 extra yards - that way we can take bad calls out of whether a field goal is good or not?

2.) As far as the smart ball why doesn't the nfl also use this? - I can't stand when the refs run into a pile and mark where they think it should be - if the technology is there why not use it?

I don't know how I feel about the smart ball stuff. I kind of think that that potential for human error adds to the excitement of the game. Yes, they will botch a crucial call every now and then, but it can go in our favor too (even though it seemingly never does lol).
