Anyway, did Shawn Springs get on the field for the Pats? I almost forgot he's playing for them now.

No, he was held out...the usual.

Hopefully Tanner is still “listening” and has a sense of humor.

Two things:

1. When parents name their child, they should try to get something that doesn't necessarily rhyme but rolls off the tongue nicely. The Cooley’s did this well with this for Chris not Tanner.

2. Tanner you need to blog about how bad your brother looks on Madden 10, his helmet is all jacked up.

Ok thanks for listening and I am sorry for your encounter with Snoop Dog I mean Randy Moss.

I think Cooley's blog is really outstanding, and no doubt that's in large part to Tanner's efforts on it. I don't know him, but he seems like a pretty smart guy and the blog is proof that he works hard.

Does he benefit from being Chris' brother? Sure he does. Let's put it this way, I don't think he gets a media credential from the Redskins if he's not CC's brother. We've had our own hard working, amateur reporter here who-even with the backing and support of professional media-was still denied access so yeah Tanner I think benefits from having the last name Cooley.

But there are a lot of us who have benefited from family connections. It's really about what you do with those connections. And all indications are that Tanner isn't some sort of slacker just mooching off his brother's fame.

Even Tanner admitted, I believe, that it was his first time in an opposing locker room (particularly immediately after a game) so maybe it was a bit of a shell shock to him how the "other side" acts. Imagine if it was a regular season game, and the Pats had lost?! But, having been there myself, I know it's frustrating to have someone snap at you when you're just trying to do your job.

That said, if you're going to sell yourself as a reporter (which I'm not necessarily suggesting Tanner did), then commit to the sell. It's a bit disingenuous, in my opinion, to race back to your blog to talk about what an ass Moss is. The story should have ended in the Pats' locker room.

I know what it's like to have an athlete be a total dick to you. I've already mentioned in the past here on this site about certain Redskins who were like that. And yeah it can be damn frustrating. Not sure that a blog post was the best way to respond. Imagine though if this was Tanner's profession. As in, he's got to get a story in to meet a deadline and he can't get a player to answer one question.

But, it is what it is. For every Randy Moss who doesn't want to talk to you, there's a Danny Wuerffel who will always talk to you whenever you need, or a Tre Johnson who won't stop talking to you even when you don't want to.

I did manage 4 free first row tickets behind home plate at Wiggly Field, but the real kicker was the free beer and food for the entire game.

Wiggly Field??

I have heard BB say this on TV a few times. He said it last week as a matter of fact. He was talking about how Moss has helped the other WR's with the offense.

jamf · 09-01-2009, 01:45 AM

Tanner,
What was your third question going to be?

Well, I would say that in Darth Hoody's world, being a prick is part of leadership. Nothing against BB the coach, he obviously has a system of work and discipline that works (hence 3 SBs), but as a person I would say that he is a prick.

Ehh. The whole blog seems like its meant to be funny for the most part. This was pretty funny. Cooley's brother sneaking into the patriots locker room and getting cussed at, funny! I wouldn't take it to seriously in eitheir direction. Yeah Randy Moss is probably a dick. No real shocker. And yeah, I can beleive that no redskin would talk to someone like that, at least not from what I've seen of CURRENT redskins.
