I just hope that Cooley takes care of himself. He has been a thrill to watch and we all want him to play as long as he possibly can. I know that he's not the first pro athlete to get loaded, but advertising it is a bit amateur. I love the story about the Hogs and Riggo meeting up in a shed after practice and throwin a few back. I love it even more how Theismann wasn't allowed to be there. I've also heard that John Riggins could be found at the Vienna Inn, well past midnight on gameday!! It seems like all of the old baseball players were drunks and many of them played drunk from time to time. Vlade Divac supposedly smoked close to a pack a day during his playing days in the NBA. I guess lungs aren't really that important when it comes to basketball! The most incredible story has to be Dock Ellis pitching a no-hitter on LSD:
LSD and the No-Hitter . While this kind of stuff is fun to talk about, it's probably not a good idea for Cooley to promote it himself, since he makes a ton of money to stay in excellent shape and play football. If he keeps playing like he has though, I won't jump on him for it. Oh yeah, he shouldn't let it be known that "Captain Chaos" listens to Bon Jovi either.
