CPW

Whit's got a new best friend. Cooper Patrick Wright was born on Tuesday, March 27th at 1.27am in the very same hospital where The Dragon Boss was born just 11 days before. The four new parents in the room stuck their face right up to Coop's and said the same thing that anybody who's seen a picture of him has said, he's got his dad's features and his mom's hair.

When I asked Whit what he thought, he said, He looks like a left-sided midfielder. He went on to say he got a good listen at his lungs and they sounded like his dad's, the guy who blew away the 2-mile Cooper Test back in sophomore year with a team best just over 11 minutes, so he's got the engine to paint the touchline for 90 minutes.

He went on to say that when dad leaned Coop in a little closer, his left hand tried to break out of the swaddle so he's most likely a lefty like his mom. And while he might use her dribble drive to be a two sport letter winner in high school, it's the left foot that impressed him. Dad, Whit said, if you're picking teams, make sure he's on our side. I don't want to have to defend him.
