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

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.Baseman said:
