Add Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley to the list of people who enjoyed the Dallas Cowboys collapse on Sunday.
And specifically, Cooley enjoyed the way the day ended for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
“It’s so good,” Chris Cooley said, according to a report in the Washington Post. “I was watching the scoreboard in St. Louis, and I didn’t see that they’d lost really until they end, I thought they blew them out so I kind of stopped paying attention."
"It’s amazing, amazing to watch him choke like that. I’m just saying, I’m up 24 points in the third quarter, if I’m the head coach, I feel like I could probably just take a knee for the rest of the game, punt it away and there’s no way that Detroit’s gonna drive on you that many times. The only way you’re gonna give up that many points is turnovers, right? It’s hilarious to watch him throw pick sixes, too, back-to-back. I loved it.”
Unfortunately, Cooley did not get to have the same enjoyment the week before, when Romo led the Cowboys to a 18-16 win over the Redskins.
Romo might not have thrown a touchdown in that game, but he also didn't throw one of the pick sixes that Cooley enjoys so much.
Cooley took his hatred for Romo though one step further when he talked about taking his distaste for him from the gridiron to the octagon.
“For me to beat Tony? I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know what kind of cage fighting skills he has," Cooley said. "I would probably try to incorporate my wrestling ability, like when I was in high school. Obviously it’s been a while, but I didn’t like to beat people fast. I like to embarrass ‘em a little bit. Like, take a 24-point lead, and then just play with it a little bit.”
We might never see the Romo/Cooley matchup in the UFC, but the Cowboys and Redskins will meet again on Nov. 20 in Washington.
