Washington Redskins tight end, Chris Cooley has impressed me as a football player in his seven years in the league. Considering that he looks more like a bartender or your pool man, it's a bit surprising. He has become one of the best tight ends in the league. The Flea Flicker advises every football fan to know him as a player. Cooley was on NFL Network's Total Access last week and proved to be quite the character off the field. I've long known Cooley to be a bit goofy. He went to hilarious when he told Rich Eisen about some of his prank phone calls. For three years, Cooley, playing a huge fan of Cardinals kicker Jay Feely, has been calling Rams QB A.J Feeley. Telling him how great he is kicking the ball for his favorite team. QB Feeley, amused and puzzled, has kept many of the messages. Not to leave kicker Feely out of the fun, Cooley has often reversed the game for him. Cooley upped the prank call ante this offseason when he decided to have some fun with disgruntled Bengals QB Carson Palmer. Playing Broncos executive Vice President John Elway, he has called Palmer explaining his hatred for Tim Tebow and his need for Palmer to lead the Broncos. Why stop there? Cooley couldn't stop as he called Palmer again, this time as new Broncos coach John Fox, saying how much the team needed him. Cooley then decided that Bengals coach Marvin Lewis needed to be a part of this when he called to tell about all the tampering going on with Carson Palmer.
The lockout needs to end just to keep Cooley away from the phones.
