I think Zorn stole that pose from Buddy Ryan when he'd look at Braman.


Chrissakes, between the HC, Portis, and Cooley you wonder if there's a heterosexual on that team.

Washington taterskins tight end Chris Cooley is nothing if not outspoken.

During an interview with SI.com about life on the road in the NFL, Cooley managed to take two jabs at Philly and its fans.

SI: What's your least favorite city to visit?

Chris Cooley: Philly. I really don't like Philly. I got a cheesesteak the first time I went there, but other than that, there's just nothing exciting about Philly.

SI: Which city has the most rabid fans?

Chris Cooley: Philly. We got eggs thrown at our bus when we came into town last season.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I love it too.

It was even better a few years ago when Darren Woodson said he wished Cowboys fans were more like Eagles fans.

[Eagaholic]

maybe we should have a CF egg-gate party for when division rivals roll into town?

Die Hard's crew used to throw eggs from C-6 every time a Cowboys bus rolled by.  They changed the route off Broad Street because of it.

NFL conducts Haynesworth tampering probe

The NFL has formally opened an investigation into charges by the Tennessee Titans that the Washington taterskins tampered with defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth(notes) before the start of free agency in February, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

The NFL has interviewed at least two people associated with the situation after the Titans complained to the league in April that the taterskins contacted Haynesworth and agent Chad Speck before the start of free agency on Feb. 27.

Haynesworth signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the taterskins which includes $41 million guaranteed.

If it's proved that the taterskins contacted Haynesworth too early, the team could lose a draft pick. In the 2008 draft, San Francisco lost a fifth-round pick after the league found that the 49ers had tampered with Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs(notes) during the 2007 season when San Francisco was pondering a trade for Briggs.

As for Haynesworth, the Titans have claimed that their efforts to negotiate with Haynesworth after the 2008 season were hindered by tampering.

Speck and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment on the situation.

C-4 from C-6 would also have been cool

Seriously..  those tampering penalties are a joke.  You sign a guy like Haynesworth - by cheating - and the risk is you might lose a 5th?  ohgodnodontdoit...
