It’s not really a rumor or a conspiracy but I know a lot of college athletes get STDs and it gets spread easily around the team. All the guys hook up with the cleat chasers who will hook up with anybody on the team. It just takes one of these players or cleat chasers getting a STD for it to spread to the team. I don’t think it’s as bad in pro sports but just understand when you watch college football a lot of STDs are on that field.


I can confirm this. My wife is a Women’s Health NP at a large state university. The football team keeps her department in business.

The rumor is this was why Brind’Amour was traded to the Hurricanes.


Beautiful, we need more hockey topics in this thread.

Yes that one is absolutely true. It was right above Voodoo Barbeque, he also used it when Michigan came down to talk to him about their job in 2010.

Craig Janney of the then Blues, was married, and took brendan shannahan in, and let him stay in the basement, NHL vets, etc do this all the time for younger players.

Well, shannahan bangs janneys wife, it causes a huge locker room kerfuffle, guys wanting to beat each others arse, guys driving by where shanahan eneded up moving to, waiting for him to get home, and they were going to beat him down.

Janney was one of nicest dudes on the team, and majority of his team mates were f'ing pissed. they wanted to kill shannahan.


Blues management moved shanahan to hartford for chris pronger. It was a pay back for shitting on the whole club house and destroying a good team atmosphere.

I believe it would’ve been the 2000-2001 NCAA basketball season. Teddy Dupay was shut down because of back issues. Press conference in the afternoon about his successful back surgery and that he would be missing the rest of that season. A few hours later I was at a Gainesville bar and Teddy Dupay was dancing on a table. So he either heals very fast or the back surgery story was a bunch of crap. He might have had back surgery at some point but this was when all of those gambling rumors were popping up everywhere about the guy.

A more recent rumor that’s kind of fun is that James Lofton is Colin Kaepernick’s biological father.

Had a friend who used to work for the Hawks say that Dwight Howard would openly fart uncontrollably in the locker room or in meeting rooms all the time. Not even bother to go into a secluded area or anything.

That Bear Bryant tanked the game against USC so he could convince the State of Alabama that they needed to integrate otherwise they would never win anything ever again with just white players.


He didn't tankntge game on purpose. He knew they were going to get their arse beat and scheduled the game to help his argument. It's talked about in the book the Last Coach.

This would make a tremendous amount of sense. Brindy was exactly what you would want to be "Flyers Hockey" at that stage of his career. Guy was built in a lab to be a Flyer. He goes to Raleigh, and is the anchor of a string of excellent teams, including captain of a Cup winner.

Philly should have dumped Lindros, but they had invested way too much into that a-hole.

2 from the state of South Carolina.


1. Danny Ford left Clemson not due to sanctions, but because he beat a player pretty bad after he found out he slept with his daughter.

2. 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.

He's confirmed that one. Had two girls in his room during bowl practice. The coaches ran his arse on a treadmill as punishment. He said his GaS was pretty much broken at that point, and he played like crap.

Garcia was an enigma. Tons of talent, but enjoyed college, a lot. Had he been diligent, he could have been as good as he wanted to be.

Michael Jordan didnt retire to play baseball because his dad died, but because he was about to be suspended for his gambling.


Joe Morrison had his heart attack at USC while doing a cheerleader.

Stephen** and that one is true. he has talked about it.


Another one, Frank Mcguire and Wilt Chamberlin were close because Frank kept Wilt in during his one season coaching the Warriors. By keeping Wilt in, Wilt scored 100 in a game. So when Kareem was being recruited he told him to go to SC. So had the BOT at USC let in black athletes, Carolina would have had Kareem instead of UCLA. Kareem with Kevin Joyce and John Roche would have been unstoppable.

Story must be true. Shannahan ended up marrying her
