This story is an odd one, but it needs to be talked about. Apparently last week the Denver Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw, walked into the locker room before a game. There, he saw players eating nachos, and pizza as a pre-game meal. After he saw the players eating the junk food, he took all of it and threw it in the trash. Shaw has blamed the junk food for the teams first quarter struggles this year, and has replaced their pre-game meals with salads to try help the team get off to better starts. Who really knows if the salad will be a difference maker, but it is odd that the team was eating junk food for so long before games.
