He was a pretty good player, but a show boat and a hot dog on the field. I'm pretty sure it was Ms Brennan he confronted in the locker room one day, early in the age when women reporters were allowed in the locker room after games. He walked up to her, took his towel off, wiggled to show off his "thing" and asked "Hey, Chrissy, do you know what this is?"

"It looks like a penis," she replied. "Only smaller."

I like to think that Gastineau can still hear the laughter of ridicule from his team mates that filled the locker room.

Christine Brennan is and has been a professional who is not cowed by bullshit or piggishness.
