NFL | Brendan Ayanbadejo says players smoked pot before big game Thu Jan 30, 11:48 AM
Former Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears LB Brendon Ayanbadejo said his teammates smoked marijuana before one of his two Super Bowl appearances, but he did not identify any players. He also didn't say which year the incident took place. 'I'm not going to say which Super Bowl it was, but I just remember getting off the elevator one night -- it was early on in the (Super Bowl) week, just to start the week off -- and all of the sudden I just got hit over the head with fumes of marijuana on the entire floor of the hotel that the team was staying on. ... I could just imagine there were a few young guys just toking it up in more than one room.'
| Footballguys view: In a lot of ways, this isn't a shock. We've known for a long time that within the culture of football (and sports in general) marijuana is prevalent. It's a little more surprising that they would right before The Big Game.....then again, it's the most pressure filled game of their career so maybe it isn't surprising. |
