This just in. Paula Deen has invited Riley Cooper to dinner at her plantation.

 

If we blame Cooper and Hernandez (among others...) on Meyer, does he get credit for Tebow?

 

Cooper was Tebow's roomate. Makes you wonder how they talked behind
closed doors.

Boom, that is an excellent observation.

 

A good cracker and an even better racist.

 

I'm not normally one to rush to Tebow's defense, but if I was judged on stuff a former teammate I used to room with has said I'd be in serious trouble.

 

Verne's shocked to discover his real name isn't Riley Cooper Tim Tebow's Roommate.

 

From the mind of LongTimeListener. Thanks for contributing to the dialog.

He was a major-league jerk in high school. Covered him in a game against one of our local teams and overheard him yelling at his quarterback, Keyshawn Johnson-style, "just throw me the f----ing ball, you dumb*ss!"

Apparently, the fact that Coop was double-covered on nearly every possession and his QB was trying to spread out the ball to other receivers didn't dawn on him. One of their offensive linemen walked past me as I was doing postgame interviews and said sarcastically as I asked Coop's coach about his game.
"He's a really awesome teammate. A real brother. No ego at all." Rolled his eyes. I laughed.
