Creepy Jose forgets to do his job

Creepy Jose, on finally realizing we were giving Terry Cooke a tryout:

Some of you alerted me to this the last couple of days, and to be honest I just dropped the ball and never even noticed Cooke was out there until today.

Honestly, it's a lot worse than that. Cooke's been an open secret in Soundersville for at least two weeks. In fact, I'm pretty sure I told Creepy Jose about him last Wednesday. We were standing around and he was like, hey, any new trialists? And I'm like, yeah, Terry Cooke is coming into practice, but keep it under your hat, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

And then I guess he must've forgot. I mean, sure, there was that one day his notebook totally flew open, and he's chasing papers across the field, and running through our drills screaming "Carmen! Carmen! I'll get you for this, you silly bitch!" And while he's chasing after these papers and bumping into our players, and Brad Evans and the rest of the guys are doubled over in laughter, Sanna Nyassi's Lebanese dog starts running through as well, biting at the bits of notebook paper flying through the air, and he catches a couple and then Jose starts chasing the dog, and by this point none of us are upright, everyone's literally on the ground laughing. Finally Jose is fighting with the dog for some scraps, but I'm not sure he got all of it.

And I don't know, for the rest of the week, he'd be gone for large parts of practice. We're out there and I'd say real loud, "All right, we're going to do such and such drill for Terry's benefit." And Jose'd be sitting on the bench eating a hogy roll not noticing, and then Drew Carey would come up to him with a weird look on his face, and the two of them would go off somewhere and come back an hour later looking high as kites and giggling uncontrollably. I think they were looking at some of Carey's pictures, but I really don't want to know. And then CJ would just stare at what was left of his notebook until we'd be finished up with practice and one of the training interns would have to tell him he couldn't stay there anymore.

So, yeah, random internet dudes who do Jose's job better than him - don't feel bad that he didn't respond to your e-mails. He's been like that for a while.
