Sk8nsanta Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Cooley recently talked about his experience with inviting some kids from the childern's hospital out to training camp. On his site his put up a picture (see below) and there's a signature on the front of the football that the kid on the left is holding, with what looks to be "Proverbs 22:1" under the name. Can anyone identify the signature, and does that indeed look like 'proverbs'? Pic was too big to insert, so here's the URL: http://bp3.blogger.com/_UmofdtGn77k/SJCakoVrnTI/AAAAAAAAEkk/ZPoRHPCnlkI/s1600-h/Cooley+with+Kids.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dunno who the name is, but it definitely says Prov. 22:1, which incidentally reads, "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuraitengai Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 i was thinking it was zorn right from the first post. cuz someone, i forget who she was, posted something about a postcard she got from zorn shortly after he was hired and how he had just sent it to her and included that same verse, cuz someone posted it there too.

For those of us - ahem! - older type guys, does JZ look a little like a grown-up Nicholas from "Eight Is Enough" in a Hawks uniform or is it just me?

Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's definitely Jim Zorn's signature. Here's the note he sent me in February responding to a card I had mailed him. I sent him a card with a congratulatory message about the new job and wrote a welcome/best wishes note. I think he always signs his name with that proverb. In February, when he sent me the card, we did a lengthy handwriting analysis in a thread to figure out which proverb he was referencing (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240148). The proverb number in your photo is much clearer than the one in my note. Yours looks like 22:1 to me. Some people thought my note might say 26:1, but several people also thought 22:1. Getting that note in the mail was the beginning of my realization that he seems like a classy, special coach (and person). I couldn't believe that he took time from his busy schedule to respond to me! I never expected anything; I just wanted to show him that Redskin fans welcome him and support him. Everything I read about Zorn builds my admiration for the man more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyadukes Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Definitely Zorn. I have seen other things like ^^^that he signed using proverbs 22:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneySkinsFan Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again. The more I learn about Zorn and see him in our Redskin family, the more I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
