Chicago Bears fans can be an unforgiving lot sometimes. If it's an injury that's one thing. One thing they will never, ever excuse are straight up dumb plays that cost the team. For the longest time Chris Conte was the whipping boy for their sorrows. At last a new man was ready to step in as the Marcus Cooper Wikipedia page reflected.
The Bears cornerback had a rough day against Pittsburgh. He had penalty issues. A sure interception dropped right through his arms. By far the worst though was saved for the end of the first half. Chicago managed to block a Pittsburgh field goal attempt. Cooper had the ball land right in his hands with nothing but open grass ahead of him. It was a gift of a touchdown.
Then things got really, really stupid.

Listen it may go down as the most incompetent play of the past 10 years but all of Bears history? Boy that's a tough field to top. Either way it's hard to feel sorry for Cooper at this point. There's been enough highlights over the years as educational video to warn against this sort of thing. It shouldn't be this hard to learn.
Hang onto the ball until you're absolutely certain you've crossed the goal line. Yes we know the NFL relaxed their rules on celebrating. Fans won't care what sort of dance you were planning if you keeping making plays like this. Hell, they're fine without any celebration at all. They're more interested in the points.
Cooper should count himself lucky the Bears survived his gaffe anyway.
Marcus Cooper Wikipedia page soon paid the price
If there's ever a point where an NFL player realized he done f**ked up, it's when a fan takes the tedious time to go on Wikipedia and actually edit the information of a page. In this case some judicious man or woman used a small paragraph to chew him out for that play.
