So much for it just being a game.

The Associated Press reports that the FBI in 1989-90 investigated a number of threatening letters sent to Chuck Daly, the coach of the Detroit Pistons, a team that was known then as the “Bad Boys” because of its rough play.

“The 67 pages, obtained by The Associated Press as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, detail how federal agents in Detroit ordered fingerprint, handwriting and even psycholinguistic analyses as part of an effort to determine who sent the correspondences,” the AP reported.

Daly died this past May at age 78.
