..and just like that, all these statements clicked at once.

You knew this whole time didn't you?..lol Hearing from insiders on ES that a big reason to his downfall is because he partied hard when he should have been rehabbing. His partying evidently led to him being promiscuous and hence his divorce.

I thought that's what he was pretty obviously insinuating, but didn't want to assume anything without facts.


This is sad...they seemed like a great match for each other. I'm guessing that it's just much more difficult for any high-profile person (2 people in this case) to maintain a marriage. So many athlete and celebrity marriages end this way.

..and it says more that he didn't take his rehab as serious as he should have.

We're talking injury rehab, right?

About time someone broke it. I was holding back for a LONG time.

Cooley is not retiring. He will prolly play for the Panthers, Dolphins or the Rams.

Interesting list.

I remember when we let CP go, there were rumors about the Giants getting him too...I don't see it with Chris.

He'll probably get a call when some team has a devastating injury at TE like Gates/Graham/Finley/etc.

Houston's TE has had trouble staying on the field...can't think of his name at the moment but he's very good when healthy.

Cooley just turned 30. As long as his knees aren't shot he should be able to still play. Speed was never his game anyway.

I can't come up with any clever response to this

that's how i feel. his game has been finding the hole in the zone and settling down as a safe target (and then breaking tackles and/or falling forward).

i never really paid attention, but did he ever play on coverage units? could be my imagination but i feel he would be a strong special teams player (despite his lack of speed).

Smoot, are you thinking about the storm or the game with your tag?

the storm

Speaking of the storm, Isaac sucks. Water is everywhere and many trees are down. Luckily I still have power so I can still visit the Warpath.

Stay safe. Are you near flooding?

Yes sir. My house is ok because it is raised but there is flooding right across the street and my yard is a lake.

I just hope the electricity lasts long enough to see the game tonight.
