Portis and Cooley are on a Ram Hunt. Hilarious.

[The Iceman]

This is one of the funniest videos yet. I like how at the end Portis tells Cooley if he moves without him, he will blow him to smitherines. You've got to see this.

[Discalced]

You gotta be kidding me. This is great. Smithereens. Do any other players from any other teams do anything like this?

A Holt Ram and a Jackson Ram. No way.

[smoak]

Didn't see it??? But either way I do NOT like trash talk. Do your hunting on the field. 4-1 is MEANINGLESS if you lose at home to the Rams.

[redskin_rich]

Didn't see it??? But either way I do NOT like trash talk. Do your hunting on the field. 4-1 is MEANINGLESS if you lose at home to the Rams.
It wasn't trash talk, just a spoof of them playing characters hunting for Ram. They do say something about getting the Jackson Ram and the Holt Ram but it's hardly trash talk.

The concept, the characters and the costumes were funny but these guys really need to hire a writer.

[smoak]

Still not a fan.... but I guess I have to see it.

[BurgundyNGold]

It wasn't trash talk. It was pretty funny and I don't think that any Ram would take particular offense to it or find it particularly useful as bulletin board material, lol.

LMAO @ "If you move one 'pubic' inch".

[dogfight6]

It was very funny and creative and if I was a Rams Linebacker or safty I would warn Chris and Clinton to keep their head on a swifell. As well as the Skins are playing why in the world do you give added incentive to a desprate team, it's like poking a wounded bear (or Ram).

[redskin_rich]

LMAO @ "If you move one 'pubic' inch".
I thought I heard that but just assumed he said "cubic." Now that I think about it, that is pretty darn clever. "Pubic inch" can take the place of RCH in my vocabulary. :D

[JsMaViSd]

ugh i really need speakers at work!

[The Iceman]

It was so funny, Cooley was like "Wow, that's a Jackson Ram... It's so beautiful." Then Portis was like "Yeah, it's really hairy too."

[culpeper]

wow...just wow. these guys are awesome...

[guess88]

Still not a fan.... but I guess I have to see it.

Doesn't trash talk at all, just taking advantage of them being called the Rams. In a way it actually compliments SJax, because they say they see a Jackson ram.. it's big and beautiful. And hairy. Doesn't say anything about demolishing them or anything, just a goofy video. I bet Sjax and Holt would get a chuckle.

[hogs86]

that's just not right!

[ryflan47]

He's been doing this kind of stuff all year, and it keeps getting funnier. Tanner Cooley does a hilarious Borat (Vladimir) impression.

[native skin]

Good to see they are using their time wisely.

[SimplyZ]

That was pretty funny. I don't think they crossed the line to trash talk.

Rams players might not think its as funny as skins fans or players do, but I'm sure it will be a talking point after tackles and such on sunday.

Lets just hope they get the last laugh

[greatest2]

this team is a bunch of goof balls. zorn, smoot, portis, cooley. springs and marcus are pranksters and carlos always got a smile now.


seems like JC is like the "responsible friend" in all this. i love it!

[cal_junior]

I gotta say, the Borat thing is well past its comedic expiration date. Cooley's brother is just not funny.

[The Iceman]

I gotta say, the Borat thing is well past its comedic expiration date. Cooley's brother is just not funny.

Always gotta have the guy that wants to kill fun in any thread. We just seem to have 2 on this one. Hip Hip Hooray.

Oh, and Vladimir is hilarious.

[guess88]

Meh, I gotta agree with Cal here... the Vladimir character doesn't do it for me. Cooley and Portis make the spot.. Vlad's just the usher.

[give_portis_the_rock]

It was so funny, Cooley was like "Wow, that's a Jackson Ram... It's so beautiful." Then Portis was like "Yeah, it's really hairy too."

lol I thought he said "it has nice hair too"

Great clip
They should do a press conference with those costumes...

[The_Sonny_Of_Sammy]

Pretty funny, but I've seen better acting in porns.

[CarMike]

I gotta say, the Borat thing is well past its comedic expiration date. Cooley's brother is just not funny.

Dang man. You're always a buzzkill. What gives? Guys having some fun and you gotta kill it.

Great stuff IMO. Portis and Cooley must be a riot in the locker room.

[CarMike]

Pretty funny, but I've seen better acting in porns.

IMO, which makes it only that much funnier. They're not trying to be serious actors. I think they know where their bread is buttered. :)

[hail2skins]

I thought it was pretty funny. Seems that Cooley has a lot of leeway with his blog. Of course folks will be saying they should have been preparing for the game instead of making a video if we lose.

I thought it was funny and now a lot of you see what I have to put up with sitting with Smoak at a game. :D

And if that happens [fans saying they should be preparing for the game if we lose] people need to realize these guys do have some personal time for themselves. I love the fact that we have personality on this team.

[smoak]

Ok, I finally got to see it... Definitely not bullentin board materieal, but we better hope the NFL doesn't drug test this week!!

I've said a million times, I am not a fan of this kind of stuff, but when you're winning everything is ok in my book.

The force is very weak with this one. I thought he would stand his ground against these mysterious voices in the force. Failed he has. :D

[flave1969]

They did this in their lunch break. Practiced before then Practiced after. The woods you see in the video surround the practice facility.

Cooley alludes to it in the Player Interviews section on Redskins.com dated 10-9.

[Santheb]

Just glad we didn't see 'Little Chris'

[skinsfan36]

lol thats good stuff

[CampbellforMVP]

hahaha "thats a beautiful ram, an extrodinary ram, a very hairy ram"

[csquared]

I gotta say, the Borat thing is well past its comedic expiration date. Cooley's brother is just not funny.

Agree 100% Borat isn't funny anymore. Maybe im in the minority but it also wasn't funny in the movie either.

Dang man. You're always a buzzkill. What gives? Guys having some fun and you gotta kill it.

Portis and Cooley were funny but the wanna be Borat was plain dumb.

[coffdogg]

This is one of the funniest videos yet. I like how at the end Portis tells Cooley if he moves without him, he will blow him to smitherines. You've got to see this.

http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/It was freaking hilarious. No problem with having some fun. That being said I pray we don't lose to an 0 fer team

[Biggie]

Yeah, I pretty much cringed when it started out with that. It's well beyond worn out.

[BigDaddySkin]

Yes the Rams got the last laugh... :(

[guess88]

Well... at least they won't be making a video about hunting Browns. :)

[smoak]

This isn't so funny now is it?? Maybe next time we can spend 10 extra minutes after practice catching some balls from the QB or something.

[JasonCampbell]

Whatever
This had no effect on the game, I think Portis' 127 rushing yards and two TDs prove that. Cooley didn't have a bad game either (other than the fumble, and fumbles have little to do with practice).

[smoak]

I don't think the two of us would see eye to eye on this so it is pointless to debate. However, it is short sighted at best to say that b/c Portis accumulated impressive "fantasy" statistics that he had a good day. I'm sure he would be the first to say that winning is more important that individual accomplishment. That qualm aside, the issue I have with pro athletes (not Portis and Cooley as I really don't care about this THAT much), is that PRACTICE IS NOT ABOUT IMPROVING YOU AS AN IDIVIDUAL!!!!! Practice is about the team coming together and improving as a collective of players. This is why Allen Iverson (I had to use the "practice poster boy") is such a fraud... Yes he has immense talent, but what he doesn't get is that your teammates need to be part of that talent as it isn't a one man show at the end of the day...

And as far as Cooley is concerned, he had a TERRIBLE day (again, I believe fantasy football distorts the reality of what real football is). Will I still be out there with my Cooley jersey on? Sure, but I am not about to turn a blind eye to a guy who had a key boneheaded mistaked that contributed to losing to either the worst or second worst team in the NFL. It is inexcuseable... I can't say whether this video clip contributed or not (my guess is no as it is fairly innocuous but still one wonders), but find me a head football coach in the NFL that says these "not quite good enough to be a Mad TV ripoff" skits are ACCRETIVE to the business of winning football games and I will shut up. No head coach will argue these add value and neither will I.

Therefore, I would say it is reasonable to believe that by creating such video content, it is at least REASONABLE to wonder if in some manner it contributed to the loss today.

[smoak]

LOL, I was waiting for you to find your way into this thread :)

LMAO! I couldn't resist... I mean, I saw a big hairy ram that looked a lot happier than couple hunters today...

But I am anxiously waiting for the "flush the browns" video. :D

[skinsfan36]

or carrying the ball in traffic

[redskin_rich]

The hunter became the prey today. It happens from time to time, especially when you underestimate your game.

[shally]

yup.. time to dig a little deeper and each player look at themselves to see what they can do..

[swheeler]

I still appreciate the video. I really don't think it contributed to the loss. I'm still pissed off and I think everyone on the team has some soul searching to do. I think if they practice hard, real practice like what smoak was talking about, they should still be able to to this kind of thing on the side.

[cal_junior]

Your problem with fantasy football aside, I'd say averaging six-and-a-half yards every time you touch the ball and scoring two TDs is a pretty good day at the office.

[Biggie]

Not to mention not fumbling. Not even Betts fumbled.

[sinskin]

The first half was such a blur.... so many balls popping out everywhere....my head was spinning. You sure Portis didnt fumble? I'd have to watch the replay of the first half in slow-mo to be sure. :smash:

[smoak]

Your problem with fantasy football aside, I'd say averaging six-and-a-half yards every time you touch the ball and scoring two TDs is a pretty good day at the office.

Wow. So you'd take some statistics and a loss and call it a good day?? Well thats the problem RIGHT there. In football and expescially the NFL, it is all about who wins. I'm positive that Portis would trade places with Jackson today...

Or maybe we just lose the rest of games but focus on getting some key players their "numbers". :rolleyes:

[hail2skins]

LMAO! I couldn't resist... I mean, I saw a big hairy ram that looked a lot happier than couple hunters today...

But I am anxiously waiting for the "flush the browns" video. :DSometimes the Ram gets away.

Ok, these players don't deserve a break at all. It should be practice at all times of the day. Don't even think about a break.:smash:

[skin4ever]

Whatever

I dont think the video itself had anything to do with the loss, but it certainly is evidence that the skins didnt take this Rams team seriously and were not concentrating in practice, imo, as hard as they were for the previous games. This may be the coaches fault too, i dont know, but they dont call these trap games for nothing, Skins should have been better prepared.BL.

[InsomniaKiller]

You're definitely right that any sane player would take a win over personal stats. However, players are perfectly capable of having a stellar personal performance in a losing effort. This is one of those circumstances.

Portis did everything that he personally could do as far as helping our cause. However, other people around him had some mental screw-ups. He had a good day as far as running the ball and doing his job, there were just too many negative things happening around him for him to overcome by himself.

Great day for him, but of course he would rather have the win. When reading the thread about Earnest Graham playing fullback and essentially saying, "To hell with my stats," I couldn't help but think that Portis is one of those guys who would do exactly the same. It's well-documented that he's said blocking is one of his favorite things to do. That could be fun to watch. :)

Anyway, in some aspects I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think that a stellar effort by an individual should be overlooked because some other guys fumbled or checked out mentally, whatever the case may have been.

[cal_junior]

I'm not sure what that sentence is supposed to mean. Of couse myself as a fan and Portis as a player would rather have a win. I don't think anyone is debating that. It wasn't a good day for the team as a whole.

But by your logic no player on a losing team can have had a good game individually. I could not disagree more.

The "problem" is that more players didn't play as well as CP. If they had the Skins would have won.

[smoak]

Sometimes the Ram gets away.

Ok, these players don't deserve a break at all. It should be practice at all times of the day. Don't even think about a break.:smash:

Now that isn't what I said at all... but it is pretty close. :D

Look, I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't think this is a HS team where the main focus is to develop young boys into becoming men. In the NFL, these guys are paid a Kings ransome for one reason and one reason alone... I believe all of their public actions should be accretive to that end goal.

[smoak]

That is EXACTLY how I feel, and further more, I would never want a player on my team that felt he had a good game after a loss.

I agree with the first part, but the whole key to offense (and Zorn touched on this) is that the 11 have to be 1. A bad game by one is shared by all. The collective fail, but I agree Portis had a great individual/statistical effort. He is a phenominal player and if we start winning again, is probably the league MVP.

[cal_junior]

That is EXACTLY how I feel, and further more, I would never want a player on my team that felt he had a good game after a loss.

Has CP come out and talked about how good of a game he had? If he has then I agree that's a problem.

And whether he says it or not the fact remains: Clinton Portis played well against the Rams.

[smoak]

???? Are you not reading my posts??? I am NOT calling CP out. All I suggested was that maybe they was a better use of their time. And I also scoffed at the notion that any Redskin had a good game b/c to me its all about winning.

I never said Portis didn't perform well from an individual standpoint.

[guess88]

I think Smoak mentioned it earlier, but you guys really need to agree to disagree. I don't see either of you ever changing your stance on it.

[cal_junior]

I never said Portis didn't perform well from an individual standpoint.

I am reading your posts, are you? If you are me, how would you interepret these comments:

it is short sighted at best to say that b/c Portis accumulated impressive "fantasy" statistics that he had a good day.

So you'd take some statistics and a loss and call it a good day??

Given that the context is how well Portis played, doesn't that sound like someone who didn't think he had a good game? Go back and look, others thought you were saying he didn't play well individually, as well.

[give_portis_the_rock]

No one is saying that
But Portis played well, are you gonna doubt that?
A lot of players played well yesterday -- do you think they're all just in practice not laughing, not talking to each other, just working non-stop? Let's be real for a second -- this is a kid's game. Of course this is a more violent, more profitable, and thus more "important" variation -- but at its heart it's still a kid's game.

I bet you none of the people on this message board plays a kid's game for a living -- and yet, they ALL have joked around at work one time or another. I know I do. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, you're less productive. Football is something that is naturally enjoyable -- it would be stupid to take away that element.

[BigDaddySkin]

Bottom Line......If you gonna make a video like that.....you (and your team) better be able to back it up on Sunday!

[Sweepea436]

I can't fault them for making it that video. They do have lives outside the game..... but I hope I don't see one this week! If I do, it better contain several references to linemen trying to be ball carriers - becasue that was the biggest joke of this last week!
