Willie Parker Trashes Redskins Lockeroom

Report on the Salute to Congress Dinner, February 1985:

"Riggins provided one of the evening's most memorable moments when he called across the table to the Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor: 'Come on, Sandy baby, loosen up. You're too tight.' Riggins, who complained of back pains during the dinner and at one point asked for an adjustment to his chair, got up and walked around, kneeled next to Justice O'Connor's husband, John, then dropped to one elbow and finally stretched out altogether, poking his cowboy boots under a guest's chair.

One guest said Riggins had slept for about an hour, first on his back and later on his stomach, snoring occasionally. After the speeches were concluded, Riggins was roused and escorted from the room."

If there had been a game the next day, he would have probably run for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
