Is Fumbleitis a Hangover Symptom?

I normally don’t get into the hearsay, but this is pretty reliable so I’ll be the Don Quixote of the rumor mill. We all know that the Washington Redskins had a bad case of the dropsies during last Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But what we didn’t realize is that two of the fumbalaya chefs, RB Clinton Portis and WR Santana Moss were deep up in Love nightclub just a few nights prior to the game, according to a source on the nightclub scene not named Huggy Lowdown.

And not only were they up in the club, but the source says that they were regular Kings of Crunk in the popular nightspot. Stumbling, bumbling, and a couple days later in the chase for the playoffs, fumbling.

But its not just relegated to Chocolate City. I let it go a couple of weeks ago, but I heard a similar rumor about Baltimore Ravens running back Willis McGahee’s libation love just a couple of nights prior to the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. During that game, the announcer alluded to McGahee’s love for the nightlife since joining the Ravens, and hoped that it would not affect his game.

How ironic that three key members of the Miami Hurricane nation are rumored to be Lords of the Yeungling in their spare time. Again, I don’t know how true it is, but when regular folks start spotting you getting blasted in bars and clubs before big games, it’s a sure fire sign that the term ‘big game’ applies only when your team has a winning record.
