Another Facet Of My Job
There are a lot of facets to my job that I didn't expect when I signed on. For the most part, it's nothing too surprising, and often it's a lot of fun -- the regular appearances on Redskins Nation come to mind.
And then there's keeping the rain off of Chris Cooley.
As you've probably gathered, Cooley is a heck of a nice guy, and mostly not at all like you might expect an NFL Pro Bowl player to be. But he's developed a real aversion to the rain, and now that workouts have started ... well, he can bring an umbrella to work, but he can't very well hold it while he's working out.

LMAO!!!!! That was funny!! Captin Chaos!! I hope the redskins get WR core we need Moss is great but he can catch the ball a little more Randle can stay with returning kicks Thomas and Kelly can go two more M.Westbrook if you ask me.We need help there bad.I believe it would help Chris Cooley this guy is a beast his touchdown ratio went way down this year because we had no threat at WR or QB.And poor Clinton Portis one of the top rushing yards leaders in the league had to fight and scratch for every yard.This west coast offense is not suited for this team.You need WR & a QB not a good one but an elite one Like Joe Montana and a elite WR like Jerry Rice we have the tight end we need the rest of it.NFL is so fast pace you have 2 know the defense you have to be able to line up behind center take a look at the defense and know what to expect you have to be fast on check downs and sometimes bye time for your WR and than be accurate with your throw and than catch the ball.Elite Chris Cooley,Clinton Portis

INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY! Or atleast a bubble. Every other team has an indoor facility, maybe that's why we have difficulty adapting during games.

I would love to see two things happens with God willing.
1) Lavar Arrington and Dan Snyder shake hands and make up. Then have "LA" work his but into Iron Man shape. He would be a great stand up rusher coming off of the corner. Heck, he is still a young and quick dude' Probably faster than most of the players we have at those slots. Could you imagine Lavar, Haynesworth, Griffith, and Carter. There is still Wilson, Anthony, Golsten, Busby, and Jackson.
2. Secretely work out WR Charles Rogers for a month. If they could reawaken that spark inside of him, Wow! Look at the Nats/Dukes/Young. Please give him hope. He was a good man and athlete and still can be.

Chris rainwater is normally neutral which means it has a pH of 7 . It is good, but since it is entirely pure, it will have no mineral contents. Chris If your head only gets rainwater you'll have to add fertilizer.
This is what any Wet head needs:
1. Water (doesn't matter what water as long as it isn't poisined)
2. minerals (fertilizers are almost pure minerals)
3. carbon-dioxide (atmosphere usually has enough)
4. light (sunlight is the best, but good artificial lighting will do)
Good luck Chris

It's hard to believe that the Redskins are laying people off, yet you are able to follow Cooley around with an umbrella.
And Stoney, Charles Rogers is in jail.
