Cooley about to break hundreds of hearts


Sorry to inform the female fans who consider Chris Cooley a hunk, but the Redskins' most eligible bachelor is getting married tomorrow. Cooley wrote about the big event and his relationship with Christy, whom he met when she was Redskins cheerleader, in his candid and humorous Yahoo!Sports blog. Here some excerpts:


"As a couple early on we were controversial," Cooley wrote. "Rumors followed everywhere we went. Keeping a secret became hard when there wasn't a secret to start. It turned out a picture of the two of us had been leaked to the Redskins. Christy was fired from cheerleading two weeks after we started dating. Since her big paycheck ($75 a game) had come to an end, at least the sneaking around was over.


As we moved through the season, I fell in love with her. We went through a lot of weird stuff, but it never fazed either of us. Maybe her dad brainwashed me one of the nights I passed out at her house, because no matter what happened, I was crazy about her. More likely it was her mom, since I was usually trying to impress the old man by drinking him under the table."



Sounds like the irreverent Cooley to me. After being together for three years, the couple will get married tomorrow night.


"From the moment Christy said 'yes' the plans began," Cooley wrote. "I have to admit I haven't been the most avid planning participant, but one thing I was put in charge of was the seating. I'll say this: It should at least be an interesting night. I've had calls from numerous wedding guests, most recently Dan Snyder's assistant asking what table they could find their seats. Obviously my easiest seating solution, anywhere you can find a chair. I'm not trying to stick Dan with my drunken uncle, but drawing up all those name tags was way over my head."


Apparently the uncle won't be the only intoxicated one. I'm sure Christy's parents are thrilled that Cooley has invited "nothing short of an Animal House cast of characters." The only promise the groom has made the bride beyond the vows is "to not stuff the cake all over Christy's face. The rest of the reception is free game. It will certainly be a night to remember."


For my part, I hope that marriage doesn't change Cooley, who special teams coach Danny Smith affectionately called "a knucklehead." I prefer to think of Chris as a guy who'll tell you the truth and doesn't have a lot of guile.
