Chief Zee's Missing Tomahawk

The Official Blog of Chris Cooley: Theft of a Tomahawk (http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/2008/08/theft-of-tomahawk.html)

I know that the Chief has been harassed countless times over the years for being one of the truest of fans, but this is my first witnessed account since becoming a Redskin. I am disgusted that someone would stoop so low as to steal from such a great man. This tomahawk is to be carried in honor of fallen super fans and I am offering a free autographed jersey to the person who finds and returns one the Chief's most prized possessions.

What a shame...hope the culprit comes forward and gives it back...

Sad to say, but look out for it on ebay

They even have a small article about this in the Wash Post.

That's where Cooley got the basis of the blog entry from...but I didn't want to directly link to the Post because I was afraid they'd go AP on Matty...

Sad to say, but look out for it on ebay

We can only hope they're dumb enough to post it on ebay. It's probably sitting in some smug kid's room as his personal trophy....like when rich people steal priceless art.

What a damn shame! This world is full of classless, dumbass fuckups!

Hope it is found and returned to the Chief!

Chris Cooley's Newest Role with the Washington Redskins? Hostage Negotiator | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/51787-chris-cooleys-newest-role-with-the-washington-redskins-hostage-negotiator)

Looks like it did not end up on eBay...
It didn't take long for lifelong Redsksins' fan Christy Cooley (Chris Cooley's wife and former Redskins cheerleader, formerly Christy Oglevee) saw the piece and immediately took action.

According to Tanner Cooley (Chris Cooley's brother, who was kind enough to give me the run down on this whole thing via email), Christy let Chris know about the missing tomahawk and wanted him to try to get it back.

Chris told Tanner to put up a post on his blog, Theft of a Tomahawk, stating that Chris was offering a jersey to anyone with information leading to the return of the tomahawk.

From Tanner's email:

"Well, less than six hours later, I got an email from the kid's friend, confessing his guilt and asked if I would meet him to accept the return of the tomahawk. I did and sure enough, it was the real deal. We gave the kids his jersey, and I called the Chief to tell him the good news."

And a successful hostage negotiation is completed. The tomahawk will be returned to Chief Zee before tonight's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Cooleys intend to record the event.

So, yes, Chris Cooley: Hostage Negotiator.

props to cooley. he is a true redskin..signing him to that extension made my year last season

that's pretty awesome.

The kid should have coughed it up and asked for nothing in return.
