Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley is not backing down from comments he made regarding his enjoyment of watching Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo choke against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Chris Cooley Doesn’t Back Off Comments, Still Likes Seeing Tony Romo Choke
During a Monday appearance on “The LaVar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes” on Washington D.C.‘s 106.7 The Fan, the media-savvy Pro Bowl tight end said he enjoyed watching the scoreboard and seeing Romo and the Cowboys blow a substantial fourth-quarter lead at home to the Lions.
Cooley did a podcast with Sports Illustrated’s Jimmy Traina, during which he discussed the fallout from his comments.
“I try to have fun, I try to goof around a little bit, and I think when things get printed, the hint of sarcasm goes away,” Cooley said. “The hint of joking around goes away. It becomes a serious challenge, and you think, ‘Oh my gosh. Just chill out for just two seconds.’ I work in the entertainment business. I’m joking around on the radio. I’m not honestly talking trash to Tony Romo or the Cowboys.
“I’m a fan of the game and I cheer for the Redskins,” Cooley added. “Now, if you wanted me to go on your show or if you wanted me to go on a radio show and say everything politically correct and be boring, I have no problem doing that. I obviously have the ability to do that.”
