Daily Slop: Cooley's Fundraiser

Thanks for the scoop.

And of course Washington will draft Sanchez if he’s on the board…

WINK WINK.

Aside from me outbidding CP and, apparently some girl, for the Sean Taylor/Chris Cooley jersey was when Cooley auctioned off a gameday authentic jersey autographed by him. He made the mistake of starting the bidding at $100 and the bidding kind of stuttered at $200. He kind of paused and he goes, “You know, without my signature on it, this jersey sells for $275.” I was dying. The jersey ended up going for somewhere between $400 and $500 so it all worked out.

Was spectacular all night. He auctioned a few items off and was generally a cut-up throughout the night. That guy is a character. Very approachable, and very cool.

He auctioned off a Doug Williams autographed ball and then outbid everyone for it. I was standing right next to him as he placed the winning bid on the microphone he was holding, and he was like, “300 dollars right here, anyone want to beat that? SOLD to Colt Brennan, I am outta here.” He pulled out 3 $100 dollar bills, handed it to the dude on the stage and walked out of the bar with the ball in hand.

is when he had to hold up this flaming basket for a solid 3 minutes. This is when we were talking to Renaldo Wynn and I was like "This is all you dude." Ren laughed and was like "Umm no…I’m comfortable with my masculinity." haha.

I twittered how great Portis was at auctions. He was the auctioneer for a signed Cooley helmet. When the bidding started to stall, CP had Chief Zee touch the helmet and then he said “And it’s a signed helmet touched by Chief Zee!” … a bid came in. 26 then had Jason Campbell touch the helmet and said “..and a signed helmet touched by Campbell!!” … doing the same with Colt and Portis….bids kept coming in. He got an extra $100 of bids for that…

Great read. I laughed hard at the Tanner Cooley line, “you’re not going to get outbid by a girl are you!?”

Hopefully, Devin Thomas will step it up this year. I have alot less faith in Malcolm Kelly. Hes got all the talent but his knees are a serious issue.

As for the draft notes, I really hope the Skins were only putting smoke and mirrors on your smoke and mirrors question about Mark Sanchez. Javon Ringer was a solid player in college but I dont think the Skins are going to draft him. If they do though ill be the first to say that was some top notch reporting.

The one question I do have is…. Anything interesting happen with Albert Haynesworth last night? Id like any tidbits about one of our newest (and biggest) Redskins.

I do find it funny Cooley is going to do a reality show online. I wouldnt worry about it ending in disaster though. Last time I checked those insane Cooley to Cleveland rumors were false LOL.

HTTR

I asked Renaldo Wynn what the buzz was on the young receivers (Thomas and Kelly) in the locker room. He told me that everything he has heard is that Kelly is the real deal. He said that when he is healthy, he should be a stud. Said he had a real “Ooooooh” factor and that all the players were real excited for him to get on the field regularly.

Just provided some unprompted praise for Kelly. From others I spoke to last night, the general consensus is that Devin’s reps last year should be a real positive to his development and that taking the next step is really in his own hands.

Colt was helping Tanner auction off a mini-helmet signed by a few players, including Fred Davis, and Colt yells out, “SLEEPY! Sleepy signed this y’all!”
