Congratulations are in order to Redskins tight end Chris Cooley and former Redskins cheerleader and Maxim model Christy Oglevee, who are getting married on Friday.Christy and another cheerleader were fired because the Redskins found out that they had dated Cooley. It's a no-no, by team rules, for employees to fraternize with players.
Cooley has written a post about his Christy on his blog, and it's a sweet, tender account of how he feels about his bride-to-be:
I asked Christy to be my wife nine months ago, and I'm a lucky man; she chose to be with me. I think she has learned being with a football player is harder than it looks. She is looked through countless times by surrounding football fans, and the funny thing is Christy should be getting the attention. Not to mention she has to put up with my terrible attitude five months out of the year (A.K.A. football season).But the post isn't just sappy, it's also funny: Cooley looks forward to Redskins owner Dan Snyder sitting next to Cooley's drunken uncle, and to Redskins running back Clinton Portis engaging in some wedding antics.
Here's to Cooley's marriage going as well as his football career -- and his blogging career.

You would have to be drunk to be seen with most of these girls. These pictures make ugly Betty look good. Chris Bergman is the only one that seems to attract average looking girls.

It indicates that it is against the rules to date a football player. That is why she was fired!! Do you have to have everything spoon fed to you?
Congrats, Chris! You are following in the moldof the great Redskins, to include John Riggins. Best of luck to you on your wedding and the upcoming season.

NOT A BIG FOOTBALL FAN, BUT IF I WERE, I GOTTA LOVE THE REDSKINS. I'M A VIRINIA NATIVE AND THEY ARE THE LOCAL TEAM AROUND THIS AREA. BUT STILL, NEVER HEARD OF THIS PLAYER NOR DO I FIND THIS INTERESTING NEWS. I MEAN HELL. MY ONE YR. ANNIVERSERY WILL BE THIS MONDAY, AFTER 15 YRS OF BEING ENGAGED. THIS IS MUCH MORE INTERESTING NEWS THEN MARRYING AN EX-CHEERLEADER. BUT MY CONGRATS ANYWAY TO YA, UMMMM CHRIS COOLEY. SORRY HAD TO LOOK BACK AT TOP TO SEE WHAT YOUR NAME WAS AGAIN!!!!

Yo Cooley! Hope you enjoyed your stay as a Redskin. Fronting off owner Snyder like that will eventually cost you your job.
Your comment blogs are not funny, particularly when made against Snyder.

Like it matters. She is a deviously smart girl. Use her looks and body to trap a high salary football player, have 2 kids, then divorce him and bleed him dry financially. This short skirted "cheerleader" broke rules. She is setting the schmuck up. I will laugh in 2 or 3 years when she takes him to the bank.

Cheerleaders are there to get into the players pants.
They are not the upstanding virgins you think they are .Here in Atlanta ,each locker rm has holes in the walls ,so you can pick which cheerleader you want.Many of the ladies dance at Cheetahs also !
