Several years ago I was out with about 10 other writers at St. Elmo's and the OC of a team with one of the top picks in the draft comes over and he was completely loaded.
"So you guys looking at Player X or do you think you'll have trade up to get him?"
"I can tell you with complete certainty that we have no interest in the guy."
"Why, is he injured? Did he get in trouble?"
"No, the guy is gay and our owner won't let us draft him."
The player is now one of the best players in the NFL.
The same coach then sat there for two hours and just talked **** for about two hours stuff that if he was reminded of the next day probably would have wanted to go hide. We just kept feeding him drinks the whole time. I know at least one writer recorded the ordeal.
The guy became a HC a few years later.
