Browns WR Josh Gordon Talks Taking Shots & Getting High Before Games

If you follow the NFL you've known Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon has had some substance abuse issues over the last couple years that prevented him from becoming a great player. He will return to the team this week, but he talked about how bad his drug and alcohol use was in an interview with GQ...and it was pretty bad...

“I used to make a ritual of it before every game. If I had already been drug tested that week, or the day before the game, I knew I had a couple days to buy to clean my system. Even before I was getting tested for alcohol, prior to my DWI in 2014, I would take the biggest bong rip I could. And try to conceal all the smell off all my clothes. I’d be dressed up to go to the game. A bunch of guys smoke weed before the game. But we’re not talking about them,” Gordon said of his pregame marijuana use.

“I would have these little pre-made shots. I used to love Grand Marnier. I could drink it down smooth. I could usually drink a lot of it. But if it wasn’t that, it might be a whiskey or something. And I would drink probably like half a glass, or a couple shots to try and warm my system up, basically. To get the motor running. That’s what I would do for games.”
