Chris Cooley to Marry Redskins Cheerleader Who Got Fired for Dating Him

Redskins tight end Chris Cooley is engaged to marry Christy Oglevee, a former Redskins cheerleader. And the story of how they met, as told by Mike Wise in today's Washington Post, is quite a tale.

Cooley was dating a different Redskins cheerleader, and she's the one who introduced him to Christy. But then both Christy and the other cheerleader got fired because the Redskins found out that they had dated Cooley. It's a no-no, by team rules, for employees to fraternize with players. (So why didn't they fire Cooley?)

Other interesting news from Wise's article: Christy turned 21 last year (yeah, she's a little younger than him), and to celebrate the occasion, Cooley and Christy's father got together and did 21 shots apiece. Oh, and when Cooley gets together with Christy's family, they do it at strip clubs. It's a rough life when you're an NFL player.

UPDATE: Here's Christy in Maxim. Thanks to With Leather.
