"Give Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley credit. Unlike so many athletes who can't wait to fire off a tweet but don't stand by it when it stirs up controversy, Cooley isn't retreating from the stance that he took joy in seeing Tony Romo and the Cowboys 'choke' in their loss to the Cowboys.

Cooley was interviewed on Jim Rome's radio show and refused to back down from saying Romo choked.

On his official blog (Cooleyzone.com), Cooley continued to fire away.

A few excerpts:

If it sounded like I was delighted by Tony Romo's failure last week, I was. Though I have no personal vendetta toward Romo, my feelings for him had nothing to do with me reveling in a divisional foe blowing the biggest 2nd half lead in the history of its proud franchise."
