Look, you're obviously a smart guy in your own right and you don't need your brother and his success to create your own success in life. But the reason you were present in that locker room on Friday is ultimately because of Chris. And that's totally fine. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like you're a stammering idiot getting a handout. But from Randy's standpoint, I can see why he acted like he did. Not saying it's right, cool, or classy, but I get it. He's a jerk to begin with, and he sees an opposing player's younger brother trying to get an interview for what is basically a Redskins' site... Hard to say I blame him for blowing you off, he just shouldn't have been a dickhead about it.

[quote=hooskins;582173]Tanner you could be wrong, [B]what if the Pats have a no interview rule[/B], which the coach informs strictly. I am sure members of the Pats made the mistake and they got a handful from the coaching staff.

[B]How can you judge someone by one encounter?[/B] And forget about game, what if Moss was just having a bad game? There was a long time from his TDs and your "interview". Also Moss definitely "above" you, no one cares you are Cooley's brother. Great for you, but that doesn't mean you are entitled to have people only interact nicely with you. We all deal with people who are upset at times, but I never rush to judge someone.

[B]Furthermore this is a forum and we are free to talk about whatever we want to[/B], so we don't to "bitch" to your email. Are you scared your site will receive bad pub? Finally, you are riding your brother's jock. Once you get to med school then I will change my opinion, but working on your brother's blog is riding his coattails. This is a fact, you can't argue this.[/quote]

thecooleyzone,
Hard to understand that you would disagree with the 3 points I bolded.
1 - The Patriots are a pretty closed team, I wasn't there but if they cancelled a interview session with Brady, they also may tell the other players not to talk. Moss still may have been classless in his response, but that they didn't talk may have been basic Patriot policy.

2 - You think judging a guy based on one encounter is ok? (i add this because of your broadbrush "never agree with anything you just wrote" statement)

3 - Seems pretty cut and dry that discussing things here on the Warpath is what this is all about. It's cool to have you on here, but this is a discussion site for Skins fans, and various opinions get expressed all the time, on alot of topics. If someone wanted to email you, I am sure they would have used that available option.

and it is a little ironic to say you are not riding your brothers coattails and at the same time offer your email as [email]tanner@chriscooley47.com[/email]

I am owed like............14 million from the country of Liberia as I acted on their behalf to aid in a transaction of 250m. I have not recieved my $$$ yet....probably an oversight. Could you post your "Grands" Phone#. I could give him a shout and maybe he could grease the wheels?

The coat tails thing is a bit overblown guys. At least give the dude credit for handling a very entertaining website. I think we can all agree that the Cooley Zone is pretty sweet, and funny. It's really helped Chris' popularity.

That said, Tanner I think if you look around this site, you'll find that 99% of the time the members here love the Cooley Zone, and have nothing but good things to say about it and your brother. I understand you may feel personally slighted by a few of the comments you've read today, but try to have thicker skin. Sometimes you're gonna get criticized. Especially if you throw stones in a glass house.

I can give him credit for that. I just thought the email/defense in the same breath was funny.

In the situation you blogged about I don't empathize with you at all.

I, for one, do not believe in classy or class but for those that do, you showed just as much lack of professional "class" as he did when you introed your interview request with ""I'm Chris Cooley's brother. I just wanted to see if I could get your thoughts on the game. It's is for Chris's website."

If you had enough professional "class" you would have just let him know that you were doing it on behalf of thecooleyzone: Chris Cooley's Blog and not unprofessionally cited your relation to your brother. If he treats you the same you can then justify that he lacked a professional acumen or "class". But if you were the first to break professional code than you can't be upset that he followed suit.



Let's face it...you caught feelings because a pro athlete cursed at you....hardly writing material much less reading.

Wasn't hard to find. The dates make sense, and he's the only president of Liberia to to have a 9 year term.

Re: Randy Moss = no class
 

All Moss had to say was "Not doing any interviews" or "We don't do interviews in the locker room" or something along those lines.

He didn't and Tanner got frustrated, I'm sure. Moss won't be the last guy to act that way toward Tanner or any reporter.

I already loathed Moss and the Patriots before yesterday's game and now it's unbelievable to me that I'm supporting how unfair that blog post was to him.

If your intention of that post was to get me to hate Moss and like you, the opposite ending up happening.

Re: Randy Moss = no class
 

When does the season start again? LOL.

Re: Randy Moss = no class
 

Curious why some people seem so fired up against Tanner?

In the end is this really a big deal? Someone blogs about an athlete who was a jerk to him/her. Wow, shocker. I'm sure there are plenty of blogs out there with very similar accounts of a pro athlete acting like a dick. Personally I just found it entertaining so that's why I linked to it.

Why the animosity towards Tanner and the blog? Perhaps a little bit of underlying jealousy?
