Rotoworld: Chris Cooley expressed displeasure Friday that coach Mike Shanahan told reporters about Cooley's latest knee draining

[Taylor4Life]

Cooley said he was "concerned" Shanahan would tell the media about it, "because everyone thinks it’s drained, that’s a huge deal. No, that’s not a big deal. Guys get things drained all the time." Cooley has been a team player this season, often playing fullback due to Darrel Young's injury and Fred Davis' emergence at tight end. We suspect this issue will blow over, but you never know for sure when Shanahan is calling the shots. Oct 14 - 3:42 PM

When did Cooley turn into CP?

When did Cooley turn into CP?

I am sure this will come out the wrong way, but I have a feeling Cooley will not be here next year as he does not totally fit the mold of what MS wants.

And this is coming from a person that loves Cooley as a Redskins.

When did Cooley turn into CP?

with the emergence of Fred Davis. Duh...

[UK SKINS FAN '74]

When did Cooley turn into CP?

Maybe when he realised his place wasn't a given.

[jivelikenice]

Totally agree. I wish he'd just keep quiet and ball, like the rest of the team.

???...That's showing "displeasure" at Shanahan?

I might be alone in this, but I didn't read it as Cooley have any issue whatsoever with Shanahan...I read it as Cooley having issue with those who would make more out of his having his knee drained than they should.

maybe so but dude does talk to the media an awful lot so what he says could be misunderstood/misinterpreted.

I must have missed something...somebody please fill me in on what Cooley did wrong here ??

[NLC1054]

...This is another little thing that people are going to turn into a big thing around here, isn't it?

[Champskins]

I can see why.... it like the HIPAA for all of us at our jobs... that information should remain private as long as you clearly state that you would like it to remain private. Simple Human Resources... No biggie.

It really does seem like a crazy year in which reporters are just jumping on everything they say. I guess that's the wave of the future with twitter, though.

I'm not sure if he did do anything wrong. The article says he expressed displeasure about Shanahan telling the media his knee was drained. So maybe rather then telling the media he is displeased maybe he should of just talked to the coach. The article is like 2 sentences long so who knows

in a league where you can get penalized for lying about injuries? not quite the same thing.

i swear i remember someone getting in trouble for faking an injury report, but bellicheck does it all the time so maybe not.

Sports journalists tend to blow things out of proportion enough on their own without "misunderstanding" playing any role in the matter.

And fans tend to blow those same things even MORE out of proportion once they read them lol...

From what was shown here, Cooley was "concerned" about an overreaction to him having his knee drained by (apparently) the media and fans. This article title makes it seem as if he disagreed with Shanahan and was voicing to the media that he was "displeased" with a decision the head coach made. Those are two completely different viewpoints, and so far I haven't seen or read anything that says the latter was the case. But saying it in that manner does generate more attention and clicks.
