Packers GM Ted Thompson kept trying to get rid of Brett Favre, because Thompson was gay and Favre used to call him the f*ggot GM in the locker room.

Couple of Tech ones I know. Kingsbury is a big Brittany fan and used to wear her concert shirt under his jersey during games at Tech.
Lincoln Riley has a sun tattoo around is belly button.

Both I understand are very true.

The college football clock rules were changed to get in more commercials. They never cared about the length of the game.

Steven Garcia got wasted before the Peach bowl game against FSU. They lost and he had a terrible game. Rumor is he did that often before games.

I’ve always been convinced that Spurrier had him locked away in a training room the night before the Bama upset and what we actually saw that day was sober Garcia.

I think it's fairly well confirmed that he sent at least 1 guy to the hospital for that. I think one guy sued Rolando over it.

McClain was an incredible LB but an absolute head case.

The real story was he went flying out of the football dorm in his car and almost hit two fraternity guys on the access road next to fraternity row (Jefferson). They yelled “MF’er”, he got out the car and cleaned house.

It was all kept down home by the TPD and the racial part was made up as an excuse to cover for him.

Uhhh, he threw the ball backwards through his own end zone. Pretty sure he was lit that game as well.

All the Les Miles "rumors" from the first page (2018) are even better to read now.

I'd bet probably 75% of these 'unfounded' claims are true.

Not a chance. He woulda been shaking too bad. Instead he locked him in the training room and let him have 4 shots 30 min before the game. I get it. I suck at pool sober and drunk. But there is that in between where I’m the perfect amount of tipsy and I can run a table.

I think this is generally believed to be true.

I watched the match as it happened and it was obvious to me that Riggs was not trying hard. He was a completely different player from what he was when he easily beat Margaret Court.

You obviously don't know how it feels to have alcohol withdrawals. You don't just go from withdrawals to playing the game of your life after 'loosening up'with 4 shots.
