I've read and heard much worse than that.
When Green Bay beat NE way back in the '97 superbowl, most of the Green Bay players were out partying the night before the big game. I heard this from my friend who was a QB in HS, in Deerfield, MA (or Springfield or Agawam, somewhere around there) at the time Mark Chmura, (the Green Bay TE at the time) was his high school teammate.
Anyway my friend told me that Mark Chmura and the others had partied all night long in the French Quarter the night before the big game, came back to the hotel in the morning, found out one of their offensive lineman was missing. The team then went back out looking for him and found him passed out in the gutter, roused him awake, got him under a cold shower and got him to the stadium on time.
And the rest is history.
