USA Today used to be the only place where you could get any complete detailed box score. It was around 1992 or 1993, back when Chris Gatling was playing for Golden State. I looked at the bottom to review the DNPs. It had the usual assortment of Danny Ferry-like stiffs with the usual "DNP (coach's decision)." But then I came to one DNP which was just a little too forthright and honest. I am all for making player injuries public, but please. Where in the hell was Mangini when we really needed that chubby Dick Cheney clone. The box score detail for Chris Gatling: "DNP (inflamed hemorrhoids)."
