Puget Sound Debs in Ashburn

She's a lucky lucky girl. Note the fly.

Mike Wise continues his climb out of the doghouse with his best piece all season, a look at Chris Cooley and his engagement to the Redskins cheerleader he got fired earning him the open scorn of the whole squad.

For those that are new here, check the piece for details, but the short version is that in summer 2005 Chris was apparently separated from his wife, whom he says left him, (the divorce was finalized, at least in the gossip pages in December 2005) and dating Frankie, a Redskins cheerleader which is a no-no. Chris kicked Frankie to the curb and took up with Christy, a cheerleader and co-worker of Frankie. They don't fire the player they fire the cheerleader for fraternizing. Both Frankie and Christy got fired from the cheerleading squad and the cheerleaders allegedly were going to do a routine during the 2005 season where they were to turn their back on Chris, and some of them apparently still harbor ill will toward Chris.

I don't blame them, Chris is the millionaire and his job was not at risk. To say Frankie and Christy were adults with free will is a cop-out because as the one with less to lose Chris should have known better than to troll for cheerleader poontang. There are tens of thousands of hot women in the DC area and he could have any one of them without repercussion except the cheerleaders.

So even though it's a great story for Christy, screw your friend and co-worker over to steal her boyfriend, get her and yourself fired and still wind up landing the rich husband, it's not so much for Chris, break the most sacred team rule, twice, get two nice women fired and toss the first one onto the ash heap of 'experience.' I'm so impressed with his growth:

I don't change at all with Christy. She's the kind of person who'll do whatever I want to do.

Judging from the screwing the cheerleaders, the nuthuggers he wears to practice and playing a regular season game with his fly down (see image above, hosted by CNN so I don't think it's doctored), Chris is an inveterate horndog and if Christy is not into it she probably just closes her eyes and thinks about the Benjamins.

You can't get your meat where you make your bread.

Some good shots of Chris' wife here and here. Which begs the question, if they are Chris and Christy, isn't that close to Chris and Chris? Maybe we should refer to them as Tine and Topher.
