Even relatively unexciting players like Alex Smith cut loose on spring break, but not all of them turned into dogs while on the trip. No word on if the fellow behind the slobbering Smith is his quarterback coach or simply a well-wisher.

We're pretty sure Gijs Van Hoecke won the award for hardest partying Olympian at the 2012 London Games. The Belgian cyclist got so obliterated after his competition ended that he had to be carried out of the club by his buddies, and was sent home the next day. That hangover on the plane back to Brussels must've been brutal.

Even the greats can have too much to drink. What separates Derek Jeter from everyone else is that he makes even the drunk nap look cool. He even managed to keep his beer locked up in his left hand while he caught some Zs. No wonder he's called "The Captain."

Things really haven't gone well for Ryan Leaf since he left Washington State. First, he became the biggest bust in NFL Draft history. Now, he's losing his shirt in public and needing his buddies to hold him upright in bars that look pretty grimy at best. Hopefully, this downward spiral doesn't continue.

The fact that Jason Kidd is now in charge of an NBA team makes photos like this one kind of scary. It wasn't all that long ago that the Nets' coach was the one up on tables in the middle of the club. He'll have to clean it up if he wants his new team to make any noise in the East this year.

Once the master of the Dirty Bird, former Falcons running back Jamal Anderson is now the master of the public pass out. After a few too many with some of his fellow Atlanta locals, he promptly conked out at the bar, falling onto the floor and subsequently being escorted out by security.

Patrick Peterson may be the most dynamic and versatile player the NFL has seen in years, but he's just like many of us when it comes to partying. The guy likes to keep it simple, sipping some kind of mystery concoction from a red Solo cup and just hanging with a buddy. Patrick Peterson: Just like us.

Marshall Henderson likes to party. This much we knew already. Here we get to see the loud mouth shooting guard from Ole Miss as his most genuine self: A completely inebriated fool rubbing arms with some good old fashioned southern frat boys.

An absolute beast for the Broncos, Von Miller is as talented a young pass-rusher. He also isn't afraid to get wild off the field, even if that means he has to remove his shirt to show it. The genuine glee in the final photo of the sequence reveals a man who couldn't be more in his element. Molly and weed are his favorites.

Sometimes, when you get drunk at a bar, you think you're a better bartender than the people actually working there. Well, Sean Weatherspoon was a guest bartender decided to get high on his own supply and make a big show of who was in charge.

Andrew Shaw gets additional points here for looking like a horror movie villain, but he was well within his rights to go out and make a fool of himself. After bleeding all over the place in the early stages of Game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals, he returned to the ice and helped the Blackhawks knock off the Bruins to win the cup.

Punters get no love, but we have to give Pat McAfee credit; The guy has absolutely owned his hilarious public intoxication charge from 2010. Clearly, he still has no reservations about partying.

How do you celebrate signing a five-year, $41.25 million dollar contract with $22 million guaranteed? If you're the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Dashon Goldson, you crush a bottle of Hennessy and pose completely hammered for photos next to your ex-teammates.

Seemingly everyone took an opportunity to cut loose after their Olympic events were over, and Great Britain's Mark Hunter was no exception. He gave an impromptu lap dance to an unsuspecting passenger in his stagecoach leaving the club, and clearly she was none too pleased.

Photo Link

Todd Helton probably should've woken up for his mug shot. We can only assume his fatigued stemmed from all the wine he told police officers he had consumed, which also spurred his DUI arrest.

Is "The Great One" also a great drinker? If this picture of Wayne Gretzkey is any indication, probably not. The NHL legend looks a little worse for the wear in this photo, and may very well be about to fall off his chair.

Photo Link

If we ignore the fact that he's possibly the most famous 20-year-old in America, Johnny Manziel is really just a normal college kid. And part of being a normal college kid, naturally, is getting lit up and posing for Instagram photos with your buddies. Play on, Johnny Football.

Before he went and shot himself, Plaxico Burress was a regular in the New York club scene. He also liked to use his camera time ostensibly to show off his teeth and how hard he was partying.

Photo Link

We're not sure if anyone could look more awkward or goofy in a photo than Tyler Hansbrough does here. The Toronto Raptors' big man is doing himself no favors by clutching a 40 in his hand, revealing the smoking gun in this crime against photography.

Normally, we wouldn't include a coach in a list of athletes. However, what Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams pulls off here deserves at least honorable mention. We have so many questions: How did he end up alone in a room with two college girls? How did he get so drunk? What the hell is in his right hand? Mysteries, all.

Photo Link

A young Julius Peppers certainly didn't love having his picture taken here, although maybe he thought that if he closed his eyes nobody would notice him. Considering Peppers spent much of his college career in the spotlight as a member of both the football and basketball teams at UNC, we're not surprised he wanted the cameras out of his face when he was off the field.

When he was a household name and one of the top running backs in the NFL, Larry Johnson certainly liked to party. That apparently included random sorority houses, where the former Penn State Nittany Lion played it cool despite barely being able to keep his eyes open.

Photo Link

When you get absolutely paid like Andris Biedrins does without having to do any actual work, hitting the club is a given. We love this photo especially because he so clearly relishes the opportunity for someone to notice him for anything other than being one the league's most overpaid players.

Photo Link

Who says sideline reporters can't have fun too? Craig Sager, who still enjoys wearing positively heinous outfits even when not at work, looks like he may actually be in a coma in this photo. The bros next to him don't seem to care all that much though.

Photo Link

It's a comfort to know that even if you're a complete draft bust, you can still be popular with the ladies. Matt Leinart apparently still has it, getting up close and personal with all manner of college girls.

Photo Link

Josh Hamilton's history with drugs and alcohol is well known, as are his battles with staying sober in the sea of debauchery professional athletes often find themselves in. Looks like he may need to add whipped cream to the list of things he shouldn't be around.

Edward 40 Hands is a classic drinking game, if that's your scene. Apparently, it's also played north of the border, as we see here from the very expressive look on Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie's face. We must say, though, that we're disappointed he didn't go for both hands. Typical Canada.

Photo Link

Never the most affable of athletes, Jay Cutler at least looks a little friendlier here as he's out on the town with friends. Or maybe he's just doing his best imitation of a squirrel. Either way, he looks a lot more fun to be around than he normally does.

Photo Link

When he isn't assaulting cab drivers, Patrick Kane also likes to party. At this particular event, the two-time Stanley Cup winner headed up to the University of Wisconsin and partied so hard that he later passed out on the bar.

Photo Link

There's no shortage of drunk Rob Gronkowski photos in circulation, and for good reason. The Patriots' goofy tight end simply loves to party, and doesn't care who knows it. People may complain, but hey, at least he didn't kill anybody.

Photo Link

Uh, Miguel? This is a mug shot. You just got arrested for a DUI. Probably not the best time to have that shit-eating grin on your face. Fortunately for Cabrera, he's since gotten his life turned around and no longer poses for pictures like this one.

Photo Link

To be fair, Ryan Lochte has this look of general bewilderment on his face a lot. It's the look of someone whose brain cells have long since drowned in a sea of chlorine. But since he was also leaving a club here, we have to assume alcohol got into the mix as well.

It's conceivable that this cameraman happened to catch Tiger Woods at a bad moment where he simply looked obliterated. However, based on all accounts of the 2013 Met Gala, we're going to say that's unlikely. The glazed over eyes and maniacal look reveal just how loaded the normally reserved Tiger got, and we ain't mad at him.

Photo Link

Tons of athletes party on their birthdays. James Harden is no exception, and now that he's become a star for the Houston Rockets everyone wants a piece. We have to say, if this photo is any indication, we're big fans of the female-to-male ratio at this party.

Wade Boggs was on vacation in Mexico, and naturally he decided to spend one night crashing a wedding. Clad only in a Tommy Bahama shirt and mom jeans, the legendary 64 beer drinker arrived at the wedding and immediately began hitting on the groom's pregnant friend. Hall of Fame indeed.

Photo Link

The other half (along with Tyler Seguin) of the Bruins' post-Stanley Cup party duo, Brad Marchand spent essentially a week completely annihilated and without a shirt. Photos like this one became commonplace as seemingly everyone in Boston had a buddy who did shots with the Bruins' pesky winger.

Photo Link

To be fair, Kyle Orton looks kind of drunk all the time. This time, though, he decided to show his tender loving side at the same exact moment his left eye forgot to work. Bears and Broncos fans know this look pretty well by now, as they got to see it on the field every Sunday.

Photo Link

Desmond Bryant is the prohibitive favorite for mug shot of the year, and quite frankly it isn't close. The Browns' new defensive tackle got so drunk that he tried to break into a house that he thought was his, only the family living there was present for the entire thing and Bryant wasn't even on the right street.

Photo Link

Michael Jordan has a free pass to do pretty much anything he wants. If he decides to get hammered drunk and then get right in the camera's face, so be it. Considering his eyes are practically the same color as his shirt, we're guessing MJ might've had some other substance contributing to this wild night, too.
