Chris Cooley loves Tony Romo!

Redskin/Cowboy beef has been going on for decades, so it’s no surprise that Chris Cooley has the following feelings and spoke out on a local DC radio program about Tony Romo this week:

“It’s SO good,” Chris Cooley said of Romo’s meltdown “I was watching the scoreboard in St. Louis, and I didn’t see that they’d lost really until they end, I thought they blew them out so I kind of stopped paying attention. It’s amazing, AMAZING to watch him choke like that.

“I’m just saying, I’m up 24 points in the third quarter, if I’m the head coach, I feel like I could probably just take a knee for the rest of the game, punt it away and there’s no way that Detroit’s gonna drive on you that many times,” Cooley continued. “The only way you’re gonna give up that many points is turnovers, right? It’s hilarious to watch him throw pick sixes, too, back-to-back. I loved it.”

Romo is becoming a repeat choker, this guy has taken double dongs with no gag reflex, multiple times in his career- so he is probably used to the ribbing.  But being made fun of by a guy named Cooley (as in Ass) that wears short shorts on the practice field has to sting pretty bad. 

Guru - Week 4 Picks

Jets +3.5 at the Ravens

These teams played last year on opening day and the Ravens won that contest 10-9. This game will be close again, Rex will have his team ready to play after that sub-par performance last week against the Raiders.

Redskins Pick’em at the Rams
The Rams have been making so many mistakes and have been playing some of the worst football in the NFL. The Skins look much improved, and I expect them to pick up the road win at St.Louis this week to stay in the NFC east mix.

Patriots -4 at the Raiders
The Pats were ambushed by a series of great plays by the Bills last week, and were stunned by losing to them for the first time in 15 games. I expect Belichick to have his team ready for the Raiders this week, they should win by more than a touchdown.

Bonus Pick

Vikings -1.5 at the Chiefs
The Vikings are playing great ball in the first half of games so far this year, only to break down after half time and lose. They will jump on the Chiefs early again, but this time they will hold on for the win.

Scholar's Week 3 Picks

Chargers -14.5 vs. the Chiefs

Chiefs have scored 10 points total in both games. They lost their best weapon on offense and it sucked to begin with. Man I feel sorry for Chiefs fans, September and they're already looking forward to the draft in April. It's a tough call with such a large spread but I like the Chargers laying the points. Watch out for the Back-Door cover though.

Packers -3.5 vs. the Bears

Usually these teams play close games. The Pack gave the people who chose them in the King of the Hill pools a scare last week as they were down early to the upstart Panthers. So who knows what's going to happen on Sunday. But the Bears offensive line is doing their best impression of swiss cheese. Cutler won't last long if they don't begin to jell. Packers should cover with ease.

Redskins +5.5 at the Cowboys

If you haven't noticed yet, I really like what I see out of the Washington Redskins this season. Both in fantasy and reality. The Cowboys almost lost to the 49'ers last week and they're pretty banged up. Romo has a rib/lung issue, Dez Bryant is dealing with a quad problem and Felix Jones is already nicked up with a separated shoulder. All 3 will probably be on the field but they will be without Miles Austin. Take the points.
