A Salute to Chris Cooley

The Jar is impressed with Chris Cooley today. Look at this girl he coaxed to marry him. And look at him. I guess there is a reason he prefers wearing a helmet. He kind of looks like a roided out version of my old roomate Chris Masheykh. Although my roomate Chris is definitely a lot shadier...last I heard he was a car salesman.


Chris Cooley is legit. He even wrote a blog about his upcoming wedding this Friday. Check it out here. And he is a great TE option in fantasy football. I won my fantasy league in 2004 when I picked him up right before he broke out in the 2nd half of the season. And even though last year was a down year for The Jar in fantasy football land, one of the few bright spots was high jacking Mr. Cooley from J Tolliani. In his first 4 years in the NFL, Cooley has been the Skins most reliable receiver. And it appears as though he is only starting to reach his potential. Last year was Cooley's best stastical season with 8 touchdowns and 786 yards. The Jar only hopes that his jaw dropping wife (who was formerly a Skins cheerleader until she got kicked off the squad for dating Cooley) will not distract him in the upcoming seasons. Otherwise, he is poised to be a perennial Pro Bowler in the NFC.


The Jar became even more impressed when he learned that the Cool Man (I just made that up, but if it isn't his nickname, it should be) came from somewhere not so cool. Logan, Utah. A Mormon town of 40,000+. The Jar questions his decision to stay in Logan to play for the Utah State Aggies in college, but hey, the guy made it work. He got drafted in the third round of the 2004 draft and the rest is history. And for all this Cool Man, The Jar salutes you

actually dude... Cooley was born in Powell, WY which may possibly be less cool even than Logan, UT.
