WitP: Ryan Mouton, Colt Brennan
Dave Reardon has an update on Ryan Mouton's injury.
UPDATE: I originally thought the "life coach" quote originated from Colt Brennan, but LizKauai says the phrase did not come from him. I just assumed, doh!
UPDATE 2: The origins of Cooley as life coach, from the AP:
Former Hawaii and current Tennessee Titans’ defensive back Ryan Mouton said today he’s been diagnosed with a grade 2 high ankle sprain. Mouton suffered the injury Tuesday morning in practice. He said the injury may keep him out the rest of the preseason as a precaution, since high ankle sprains are easily re-aggravated. The Titans have three more preseason games before their Sept. 10 opener at Pittsburgh.Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has started selling "Chris Cooley is my Life Coach" apparel. From The Cooley Zone blog, here's a pic of Colt modeling one of the shirts.
“It’s frustrating because I was really getting into a rhythm,” Mouton said in an email conversation with the Star-Bulletin.

UPDATE 2: The origins of Cooley as life coach, from the AP:
It started when an online report suggested a romantic link between Washington Redskins teammate Colt Brennan and pop singer Simpson, who recently broke up with Dallas quarterback Tony Romo. Cooley thought such a story was too good to kill off right away, so he persuaded Brennan to tell reporters: "My life coach, Chris Cooley, said that I should neither confirm nor deny it."
This being the Internet age, it wasn't long before "Cooley" and "life coach" were linked everywhere. Knowing a good thing when he sees it, Cooley now is selling "Chris Cooley Is My Life Coach" T-shirts on his Web site.

Ok... The Life Coach phrase is an example of Colt synergy with Chris Cooley. It was triggered by the Jessica Simpson rumor. Colt looked to Chris - (who is a public relations genius, imho) - and voici! So the author would be Chris Cooley, responding to Colt's situation.
