When 41 of the 53 man roster admitted to heavy locker room drinking during wins, the press obviously had some questions for the Cannibals. Said offensive lineman, Chazz Dastardly, “Don’t you understand what drinking means to us workin’ stiffs? It helps us forget about our day and tell our children we love them with a straight face.”
