After we ended their season there were some mentions in the media that Snyder just never wanted Cousins and sees his 'success' as a personal slight. Which seems bizarre, but in keeping with Snyder's previous.

Cooley is a piece of garbage. And he fits in perfectly on ESPN 980 with the rest of those chuckleheads.

Bizarre for some, but it would fit his ego to the T if true. Supposedly, he's pissed because Cousins was Shanahan's pick. I'm sure the hardline negotiating stance hasn't helped his cause with him either.

I don't remember much about him, aside from him kind of being a clown. Good player for a while.

Literal question - why is he garbage?

Maybe it's just me, but airing a person's struggles with alcohol when you essentially don't know anything about the situation is unseemly. I get that he's a "sports radio personality" and admittedly knows a lot about the Redskins by dint of his playing days and film study, but this is something I don't think should be aired. Maybe if the gm enters a rehab facility, then it's obviously news, but until there's confirmation one way or the other, then keep your thoughts to yourself.

There are other examples of Cooley shooting off his mouth without knowing anything, but - like I said - he fits in perfectly at that station with guys like Czaban, Doc Walker, etc. The very early morning guy - Al Galdi - is an exception. He's very, very good.

team, so I absolutely believe this was prompted by Little Danny.

This. I hope it's not true, but if anything will drive someone to drink, it would be working for Danny boy.

If this is subterfuge to ruin McCloughan's reputation, that is disgusting, even for Snyder.

He's nasty. He's not funny. He's not particularly insightful; each year, as he knows fewer players from his playing days, he's a little less interesting.

It's bad radio.

but unless Snyder was comfortable with this revelation it may be the end of Cooley's tenure. It's potentially actionable, I would think, and it's really just a mean-spirited rumor to spread. Cooley has also been somewhat critical of Snyder et al, so I'd imagine they were on the lookout for a reason to torpedo him.

remember Cooley's strange reality show with his now ex-wife? They actually had a large nude photo of themselves, in a pose that looks like they are having sex, hanging above the fireplace. Classy!

He immediately divorced the wife he came to town with after getting involved with a Redskin cheerleader (which was against the rules). From there he became a legendary drunk all around Northern Virginia before marrying the cheerleader without a prenupt - and subsequently getting divorced and cleaned out. His saving grace is that he played for the right team in the right market as he can make several hundred thousand every year just because he was a Redskin.

When he does his film breakdowns. It's a pretty good segment.

I forgot about that. Cooley really is a walking idiot outside of those film segments.

That's absolutely true. I mean, most teams do that to a point, but few to the extent of the Redskins.

with a lack of recent success, which means relative mediocrities can make a killing. We as Giant fans love nostalgia, but we've had enough success over the last couple decades that most of the guys we trot out have at least hoisted a Lombardi Trophy in blue.

the nickname controversy has, I believe, inspired a kind of bunker mentality in their fans where the whole world is out to get them, which only added paranoia to their usual delusions.

Oh absofreaking lutely. He works FOR THE TEAM, they sign his paychecks, Snyder is and always has been a fan boy and Cooley is his little secret best friend who can tell "secrets" to and make it sound like speculation. I don't usually go in on this stuff but I have zero doubt this is from Snyder and something isn't going right.
