Cooley Shows Himself - Sports Alexandria Virginia

Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has endeared himself to the blogosphere by operating his own blog.  Unlike many athletes who have their own web sites and aspire to fill them up with informative content on a regular basis only to do neither, Cooley has generally delivered.

Most recently, he delivered a little too much.

Though the post has been deleted from Cooley’s blog, the fine folks at Deadspin were able to capture the video evidence.

Cooley intended to take a photo of a page from his playbook revealing the “Tight End Test” for Sunday’s game against the Saints.  The only problem?  He was naked at the time, the playbook was in his lap, and so the picture included an image of Cooley’s private part.

Earlier in the evening, Deadspin’s post included the, um, full Cooley.  The appendage was covered by a Redskins helmet (mini-size, apparently), after Cooley’s brother contacted Deadspin and objected to the presence of his brother’s junk on the Internet.

The bigger question, as we see it, is what in the hell was Cooley doing taking a picture of his playbook and putting it on the Internet?  Though not as obviously wrong as, say, having sex with the maid on your desk, we can’t imagine how or why Cooley believed it would be appropriate, in light of the ultra-secretive world of the NFL, to put anything on the Internet regarding team strategy and preparation.

But, then again, a guy who didn’t realize he posted a picture of his private part on his blog likely doesn’t have the best judgment.
