We're just getting into the thick of wedding season, and so apparently are the Washington Redskins. Somewhat infamous bachelor and Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley settled down with his ex-'Skinette fiancee Christy Oglevee this coming weekend in Landsdowne.
Their relationship has gotten plenty of ink (virtual and real) over the past couple years. Cooley himself waxed poetic about the romance just last week, writing on his Yahoo Sports blog, "Maybe her dad brainwashed me one of the nights I passed out at her house, because no matter what happened, I was crazy about her. More likely it was her mom, since I was usually trying to impress the old man by drinking him under the table." Special times.
Now, as you may recall, Cooley met Christy when another Redskin cheerleader he was seeing brought her over to his house. Word eventually got out about the secret tryst(s), and the two were unceremoniously dumped from the cheerleading squad -- on Fan Appreciation Day. Tragic, we know, though we're sure the lost income (the 'Skinettes get $75 a week) probably matters less with that big ol' ring on her finger.
As Mike Wise put it, Captain Chaos is now caged. Any suggestions for a new nickname? How about a "BrAngelina" style nickname for the happy couple? At any rate, their two wedding registries (via the Bog) are here and here. Feel free to send Mr. and Mrs. Cooley some expert cutlery or really soft towels or a napkin holder or something. Also, you can keep up with the newlywed star's random musings on his "Outside Football" blog.
Other Redskins Notes: Rookie TE Fred Davis -- the man who will be studying Cooley with a clipboard and visor for the foreseeable future -- finally apologized to the team for sleeping in and missing practice during a minicamp earlier this month... The Redskins have hired a blogger, giving Dan Snyder yet another way to personally spin any type of actual news that might come out of Redskins Park.

What about Christooley
You'd think on an NFL salary he could afford a haircut...
From googling (and finding out how hot she is), it looks like it's Oglevee, not Ogelvee.
Cooglevee
That's where you're wrong, Moose. When you're that rich you don't have to cut your hair. You can do whatever the hell you want. Something to aspire to.
By the way, that's an old picture. He's cut his hair since.
I never thought "hideous" was something to aspire to, but I suppose it takes all types.
Glad to hear he's hacked it down since that was taken.
Can we assume a traditional native american wedding ceremony?
I vote for Christooley but with some extra o's - Christooooooley!
What will last longer, the marriage, or the Redskins playoff berth?
$75? Seriously? that sucks?

looked at the registry...why is he asking for Martha Stewart items? I thought she had a Kmart line?
if you re-read the blog entry, the wedding is tomorrow night...didn't happen this past weekend. so there's still time to find out where it's taking place and stock up on rice and footballs to throw at the happy couple!
anyone who listens to eliot knows that it's tomorrow night, as kgenesius already pointed out.
and put me down for a vote in the chistoooooooooooooley with the extra o's column.
and also, they're totally registered at crate & barrel and still looking for four more oval classic napkin rings.
