Chris Cooley is honest

With all the drama going on in Denver involving Jay Cutler, there are obviously going to be trade rumors. Some of those rumors involve the Washington Redskins and some have the 'Skins shipping Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley (pictured above in the blue) to Denver or Cleveland (as part of a 3-team deal). Mr. Cooley, who has a blog, didn't take very kindly to his named being mentioned and wrote about it:

It is rumored that there is a possible trade in the works for angry Jay Cutler. There were a couple different internet possibilities. The first would be with the Broncos, including Cutler and Scheffler for Campbell and myself. Another was a three way trade between the Browns and in that scenario Campbell and I would go to Cleveland, Cutler/Scheffler would come here and the Broncos would get Brady Quinn, someone else and draft pick.

Trade talk is a weird wake up at 6:30. Obviously something was said between teams to cause this internet trading shit storm. I would be pissed if I got my ass shipped to Cleveland.

I kind of wish more players would talk like this. Enough of the politically correct crap where they don't really say anything. Speak your mind, if you like where your at, say it (the hometown fans will effing love you for it). Imagine Anquan Boldin saying how much he loves Arizona and the people there. I bet 99% of Cardinals fans would immediately go to his side, rather than the roughly 50-50 split we have now.

Yeah I agree...I like the honesty. I'm not sure what Alex Ovechkin thinks of it...apparently (in the picture) he's thinking it over. Haha.
