Chris Cooley extends a very special Christmas invitation…
Filed Under Multimedia journalism | Comments Off
After two heartbreaking losses to NFC East rivals in the last two weeks, the Redskins are 3-8 with five games left, so even a .500 record is a dream at best. And this blog’s namesake was placed on injured reserve for the rest of this season with his broken ankle.
But it’s the holiday season, and my last post of the semester, so we should focus on the positive. That’s the lesson Chris Cooley teaches us this week.
Cooley extended a video invitation on his blog to Tiger Woods. He tells the world’s No. 1 golfer that he can come stay at the tight end’s house in Leesburg, Va., for the holidays, considering the media frenzy that currently surrounds Woods’ car accident last Friday and ensuing adultery scandal. What a welcoming, generous suggestion.
Of course, the fact that Cooley posted a video online telling Woods he could seek privacy and get away from commentators is ironic, because he is just contributing to the media craze. In today’s interactive online world, everyone can comment on anything and become a part of the coverage, even if they have nothing to do with the news at hand.
But not everyone can do it in such hilarious fashion.
