Deadspin
Reports out of Ashburn, Virginia (nothing good has ever followed that phrase) indicate that Fred Davis, one of Washington's second round picks, slept through one of his first practices as a Redskin. It isn't a good start for the rookie, especially with a Pro Bowl tight end starting in front of him. Speaking of Chris Cooley, he happened to be blogging about Davis earlier in the week while answering a reader's question ("Fred Davis?") on his blog.
I think no more be said in the question. I was as surprised as anyone that the Redskins drafted a tight end this year. We saw Fred Davis as a first round player that had fallen way down into the second round. The Redskins felt like it was way to much value to pass on. As a player I feel like you can never discount having the best 11 guys on the field, so if two tight ends makes up the best 11 guys I'm all for it. I will do everything I can to help Fred become the best football player for the Redskins and I think he will do a great job.
Chris, your first task is to buy your new teammate an alarm clock. Your second task is to convince them to trade him for a defensive lineman.
Cooley also fielded a question on Washington's use of a sixth round draft pick. "I know really. A punter? Hopefully he can kick the shit out of the ball." And true to blogger form, he linked to a YouTube clip of said punter kicking the shit out of the ball.
The highlight of the post came when Cooley answered a question regarding the ideal draft analyst.
I would take Mel Kiper's arrogant, know it all personality and put it into some really hot chick. The girl from the movie Transformers would be great. I would watch the draft all day.
I'm quite certain that Chris Cooley should be running either the Redskins or broadcast television. Perhaps both.
For the full questions and answers check out Cooley's official blog, Outside Football. It's like Football Outsiders only the exact opposite.

You had to post him in the pink frat boy shirt and ruin everything that was good about him didn't you?
That's ok, Brandon Lloyd slept through 2 entire seasons with the 'Skins.
/Belichick woulda cut Davis' ass already
Chris Cooley should run the planet.
I appreciate the DUAN tag.
So I'm now Caleb Bissinger's Facebook friend. And I want a poll on people who think I should try to interview him.
Yeah, but can your punter do this?
+ Watch video
Good news is, this looks like DU!AN. Bad news is, I can only tell because I can't see the comments that I was told were here on the previous page.
@Becky_MI:
Thanks for the tip on tomorrow. I will bet accordingly.
"I would take Mel Kiper's arrogant, know it all personality and put it into some really hot chick." I'm really trying to imagine this, it sounds like a great thing, but every girl I picture always ends up with Mel's hair.
So, I've decided to quit the nanny gig at the end of May. That or snap, and I think quitting's a much better way to go out.
It's fitting that Georgia Tech produced the highest rated punter in the draft, seeing as they gave him plenty of burn during last season.
@Becky_MI: So the trip was badly boozy as in too much booze or not enough booze?
/continued from previous post
@DontPracticeRenteria: I don't think Volcom ever qualifies as "frat boy" clothing.
@UkraineNotWeak: You're welcome. Not that their play this weekend would indicate you should bet FOR them...
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: Congrats, I think! What will the new gig be?
chris%20and%20Christy.jpg
I will gladly take that other 80% of Christy, thankyouverymuch.
@Rock You Like An Iracane: you should just bombard him with application requests instead.
@Brazil Thrill's Shot Was Blocked By KG: Um, significant pieces of Thursday night are gone from memory due to many ounces of beer and various colors of liquor shaken up and poured into tiny glasses in front of me. Which, losing some of that is probably for the best, but UGH.
I would take Chris Berman's delusions of grandeur, outdated grasp of pop culture, and trying-way-too-hard nicknames, and put it into some really hot chick... egh, it's still Berman.
Also, Cooley needs to blog as his Johnny White Guy persona.
@Becky_MI: whatever i can find? I've been job searching today- there's 2 positions i'm reallllllllly wanting, so we'll see what happens. i'm actually even qualified for them, which is cool too.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: Best of luck to you!!!
@Becky_MI: jealous! i remember all my weekend (including dancing like a drunken moron in front of the boy- he says i'm a really good dancer, but i can't tell if he's secretly making fun of me), and it was not a sober one.
I would take Linda Cohn's love of sports and Chris Berman's tits.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: Why not do something Obama-related?
Good evening all. Pre-AP Week sucks. How are all of you?
I'll see your Barry Zito and raise you an Alfonso Soriano. Take a fucking walk, man.
Also, hi.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: I've been getting text messages from a co-worker's Cali based buddy, and I definitely do not remember giving digits, nor do I remember what I may have said/done to create the impression I would desire getting them.
@iHaveaRagingTebowner: Maybe at Chico State
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it:
Congrats on your decision, but sorry for whatever made you almost snap...you are in a tough situation. I'll cross my fingers for your new opportunities!
@Becky_MI:
found a new dog deshedder, best thing for pet moms since the Dyson!
@Rock You Like An Iracane: volunteering doesn't pay well, and all paid election positions are gone by the beginning of the year. the good ones are gone by november. there's a couple development positions open at nonprofits i really like (1 in particular that i'm salivating over), which is totes up my alley.
Oh Nibbles.
@Becky_MI: Also, you don't even remember said buddy's name. This illustrates the debauchery more deeply.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: uh... just saw some pics i def don't remember taking, though i'm pretty sure i remember most of went down. hmm.
@lisa: thanks! it's just time... everything has kinda come to a head.
@Becky_MI: ruh-roh! get 'em! (my bday party night ended with the boy taking me back to his place, crawling in his bed, and telling him that i was passing out now. heehee. oops. no debauchery for this one...)
@Yostal: It sucks for the kids too, don't worry.
@Becky_MI: Nice, I'm glad you had a good time. You know what they* say: the best memories are the ones you can't remember.
*They = me, since I just made that up
@Brazil Thrill's Shot Was Blocked By KG: have you tried that line on Candace?
@Becky_MI:
Perhaps your co-worker did or your co-worker is a Facebook friend since your cell # is on your page and he passed them on.
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it: Well I wasn't TOTALLY bad, this much I know. Way too into the boy to mess up that badly. Just not sure how cleanly I toed the line...
@Brazil Thrill's Shot Was Blocked By KG: It's a good quote, until it's about you! :)
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo is anti-legwarmers and proud of it:
Sure, no debauchery. :)
Going back to SC?
@UkraineNotWeak: I thought the co-worker may have given the number. We're not Facebook buddies, but we have each others' cells for work reasons.
"Walk your dog, not Pujols"
+2 Cardinals fan... 1 for the sign, 2 for spelling all the words right.
@UkraineNotWeak: well, no debauchery that night...
Nope, staying in CO. I'll go back long enough to see the fam and get my truck, but I like it out here too much. I think I've found a nice yet cheap place to live for the summer, and if I can just find a job, things'll be dandy.
I like the area, I like my friends, I like the boy... no reason to go back.
I hate post to view. I think the minute a post is tagged or called DU!AN, the server decides to fuck it all up. Arrrgh.
Jason Marquis would be alot better off if Lou would stop showing him his balls every half inning.
fuck you nibbles
Ahoy, DUAN! Spent a beautiful afternoon at the ballgame indoors because they kept the Skydome roof closed even though it was temperate and sunny. Although if that's what it took to get Halladay a win, it's OK.
@lisa: I have heard of this contraption... it is worth the money? Shedding season about to start full force here, ugh.
@lisa: we bought a Dyson finally last weekend - AMAZING for the pet hair pickup
@StevePerryPsychOut: You know what? That's not a bad line, specially considering the one I previously had in mind: "Are you a former basketball player for the University of Tennessee? 'Cause you're the only ten I see!"
@Becky_MI: Touché m'am, touché.
OK, two things:
1). Pidgin is a wonderful replacement for all of your IM clients.
2). Did I have a second point?
I can't believe we live in a world where the Cubs are leading the bigs in runs scored.
@Becky_MI:
For my 3 dogs, it was SO much better than anything else I've used..got the two short haired ones almost done today and a good headstart on the Pyr.
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at:
Isn't it fabulous...and so easy to empty too (once you learn how, I spilled it the first time I did it!)
Watching a Sinatra TV special from 40+ years ago on TCM. The man could sing a song. Sinatra helped many a man get laid in his time.
Good evening, folks!
@peytonloveskenny: That is our punter!
@Analrapist: Shit.. That adds up to 3, doesn't it?
@lisa: we were pretty disturbed by the amount of stuff that was picked up the first time we ran it. And again today when we ran it.
Bless you Dyson Ball. And bless you 20% Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon.
@MrRedDevil: I can't believe we live in a world where the Tigers AREN'T. Sigh...
Evening, DUAN.
@Becky_MI: there's lots of things about the Tigers I'm choosing not to believe at this juncture
@Becky_MI: poor Becky...
@My Government Name is Berto, But My Spiritual Name is BRONZ...: yo
