Chris Cooley retires, will join Redskins' radio team

Glad he made it official so we know and so he can move onto a successful post-playing days career.

One of my favorite Skins of all time.

I'm glad he finished his career without suiting up for anyone else.

He's going to do something called Cooley's Corner at the top of each quarter

Regardless of his personal life, he's still one of my favorite Redskins, so I'm happy knowing he'll be adding a fresh perspective to the radio, even though I never listen to the radio.

Cooley is just always going to be a Skins' fan favorite. He consistently returned the love he got from the fans. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the "voice of the Skins" in the next few years.

Joe- that would be awesome. Larry just doesn't have that great voice for calling the home run plays. Cooley I imagine would be awesome in that role.

That would honestly stun me

SS- I would imagine that CC would make a heck of a color commentator one day if he can work on his craft.

He has that personality that would generate some funny stuff.

whats worse the condition of the field or the booth?

Joe- that would be awesome. Larry just doesn't have that great voice for calling the home run plays. Cooley I imagine would be awesome in that role.


I think Larry does a great job on play-by-play.

Cooley would make a good sidekick to do the color alongside Larry. I respect Huff and the now-retired Sonny J., but they are not very exciting to listen to on the radio. I think a young, fan favorite like Cooley would really do wonders for the broadcasts.

That would honestly stun me

I dunno, could he really be worse than Huff these last few years? From what I have seen he is pretty rough around the edges right now. Given that and his apparent party ethic, I can see how he may never be professional enough to do more than part-time features on local radio.

If he could pull it together enough, however, he would undoubtedly be a fan favorite and probably provide at least a short term ratings bump.

I remember when I would turn down the TV to listen to Sam, Sonny and Herzog. I haven't done that for a while.

BTW - I got no qualms w/ Larry Michael on game day. It's just everywhere else that I find him annoying.
