This ain't yer daddy's NFL

Not Chris CooleyMy, my, my, how the world has changed. I don’t think George Allen ever had to deal with this stuff. Exhibit one: Chris Cooley, Pro Bowl tight end, legendary swordsman, enthusiastic blogger, and nude model…uh, unintentional nude model. For some reason, Cooley took a photo of his weiner and posted it on the Internet. Turns out he didn’t actually intend to post a photo of his wiener on the Internet, thus becoming the first person to accidentally become an Internet sex star. I’ve always suspected that a lot of bloggers are posting in the nude and now we have some real evidence to that effect. [I can assure you, Spence at DC Pro Sports Report NEVER posts in the nude. Well, there was that one time...]
Head Coach Jim Zorn isn’t too pleased. It’s not that he cares about whether or not Chris Cooley intends to become the NFL’s first Internet porn star, it’s that he’s worried Cooley might have revealed actual confidential team information along with his genitalia. Cooley’s photo of his wiener was meant to be a photo of part of his playbook and it turns out Jim Zorn doesn’t like the idea of the team’s playbook being revealed on the Internet. [Those crusty old coaches, you know.]

Concerned that Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley displayed private team information on his blog, Coach Jim Zorn plans to address players Tuesday regarding their conduct while using the Internet, he said late Monday.

“My first thought is to just make a team-wide statement and talk about it,” said Zorn, who will speak with players before the team begins preparations to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at FedEx Field.

“It’s not just Chris, anybody can do that, and we’ve just got to make sure that these guys are using” common sense.

A picture of six questions from the “Tight Ends Test” vs. New Orleans Saints in the Redskins’ playbook appeared on Cooley’s blog. In his response to questions, Cooley, among other things, briefly described the play of the Saints’ defensive ends and listed the numbers of players used in defensive packages.

It’s the United States in 2008 and anything — ANYTHING — can and will happen eventually.
