E:60&#8217;s Rachel Nichols profiles the rise of this unlikely NFL star, who has become one of the NFL&#8217;s most popular players by breaking down the wall between fan and player.  Through his personal blog, CooleyZone.com, Cooley has made his life an open book&#8211;offering fans a &#8220;warts and all&#8221; look at the daily life of an NFL star&#8211;everything from taking out the trash to dealing with home bee infestations.  From his second home in rural Wyoming to his art studio in Virginia, E:60 offers a panoramic look at one of the NFL&#8217;s most eclectic personalities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I enjoyed the profile Nichols did on perhaps Washington&#8217;s biggest sports star Alex Ovechkin, and I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone is interested, here&#8217;s a video trailer of the piece:<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"412\" height=\"314\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"image=20091015_E60_Chris_Cooley.jpg&amp;file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.espnmediazone.com%2Fmediacenter%2F20091015_E60_Chris_Cooley.flv&amp;plugins=viral-1d\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.espnmediazone.com\/mediacenter\/player-viral.swf\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"412\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/www.espnmediazone.com\/mediacenter\/player-viral.swf\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"image=20091015_E60_Chris_Cooley.jpg&amp;file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.espnmediazone.com%2Fmediacenter%2F20091015_E60_Chris_Cooley.flv&amp;plugins=viral-1d\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll sell it to women.&#8221; Priceless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fan fave Chris Cooley will be featured on ESPN&#8217;s E:60 on Tuesday, October 20 at 7 pm ET.
