Anyone else reading the SI 3 part story on Spider Gaines.

Part 2 is awesome.

“On the eve of the 1978 Rose Bowl against Michigan, Gaines willingly abided by his team's 11 p.m. hotel curfew. Yet at 1 a.m., he let four high school friends into his room and they proceeded to party uninterrupted until the morning hours on a potent mix of cocaine, marijuana and beer. Spider got two hours of sleep.

He admittedly still felt a little buzzed when the big game in Pasadena began and he dropped the first pass delivered to him by quarterback Warren Moon. But he bounced back and scored a pair of touchdowns against the Big Ten powerhouse, though one was negated by penalty.

"I didn't come down from the cocaine until I started running and sweating," Gaines said.”

    Spider is such a badass name. I tried to get a friend to name his kid Spider using both Spider Gaines and Spider Sabich as heroic example but he wouldn't go for it.

    If one of you guys is having a kid soon... you should really consider Spider for his name.

    Heroic naming your kid after two coked up athletes, one dead - gunned down by a woman who got 30 days in aspen and her choice of what color she wanted her cell painted (pink and purple)

    Good point. People should probably just stick to safe names like Tom or Fred so the kid won't ruin his shot at getting a job at a CPA firm and going on weekend fishing trips with the other guys named Pat or Henry.
