Last week, we leaped at the chance to show amazing-yet-unlikely footage of a minor league ballgirl with some major-league hops. Now, on this week’s edition of the Bob Saget-free “America’s Phoniest Home Videos”, we offer up Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham belting a 110-yard field goal:
You might need some Dramamine for the first few wavy seconds, and the pixelation is a bit harsh. Luckily, WUSA-TV has a smaller but clearer clip teed up - complete with Geico & granite commercials!
Some links from all around as I sweat out the California heat wave without A/C:
• PRO FOOTBALL TALK divulges that Adam “Don’t Call Me Pacman” Jones is defaulting on the mortgage on his Tennessee home.
(This bedroom is part of the home that could be yours if you show up at the courtroom auction.)
• Mr. Jones is not alone on the real estate issues front, as THE BIG LEAD writes on the California real-estate company that’s on the down and out after getting investments from jocks like Matt Light, Roy Halladay, and Vladimir Guerrero.
• The IRISH BAND OF BROTHERS discovers Notre Dame is having some issues finding an alum willing to take on its vacant athletic director position. (Duties include keeping Charlie Weis’ chocolate fountain flowing at all times.)
“I told them you think you’re still young and you can still hold up, but they all know what time it was. Have to chalk it up and be ready the next day.”
(For those of you planning for our six-week birthday celebration, make sure you create a Transformers cake as tall as us. We’ll transform it into poo for you.)
We were never in organized football, so we didn’t know what “chalk talk” was until today. We learn so much from football players! For example, we learned how to throw a three-day birthday extravaganza. First, have your wife stay in Miami with the kids while you throw the party. Check.
Chris Cooley is getting hitched on Friday. And the Redskins tight end is using his blog to gush & blush about his beautiful bride-to-be.
(”Mine!“)
Cooley remembers meeting Christy about three years ago, when the Redskins cheerleader showed up at his house “like she had climbed out of a poster in my high-school bedroom.”
And as it turns out, it wasn’t just a random chance meeting.
(More provocative, possibly-NSFW pics of the future Mrs. Cooley post-jump.)
