Surely you're not serious...

You can't be getting high in the locker room

In a sobering interview with GQ, Gordon admitted that he used to get drunk or high before pretty much every game that he played in during his first three seasons with the Browns.
"I would have these little pre-made shots," Gordon told GQ. "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."
Gordon said he also liked to smoke weed before games if he could fit into his drug testing schedule.

"I used to make a ritual of it before every game," Gordon said. "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."
The Browns wide receiver also added that he would smoke week with "a bunch of guys" on the team before each game.
"But we're not talking about them," Gordon said.
Gordon led the NFL in receiving yards in 2013 despite the fact that he only played in 14 games

Gordon, who estimates that he was on something for "every game of my career," including college, says he variously used marijuana, Xanax, codeine, and alcohol, and that he began taking drugs in middle school.

Gordon said he sold drugs, mainly marijuana, to "feed" himself. He said he smoked marijuana every day and drank vodka from Minute Maid bottles during class. He said he also started drinking codeine syrup mixed with soda his junior year and experimented with Xanax, hydrocodone, and oxycodone at nearly every opportunity. Before football games, Gordon said he would chug Mad Dog 20-20, flavored fortified wine, to gauge whether he could play drunk.

Gordon told GQ his usage "became the norm" in high school and said it was "on an accelerated pace" by the time he turned 20 years old.

How would you do this on game days?
We would stay at the team hotel and then players are allowed to go back home, get what they need, and then go to the game. So I'd leave the hotel early morning, go home, eat breakfast, do my little ritual, whatever it may be, some weed, some alcohol, and then go to the game. And then, I'd definitely be partying after every game, win or lose. Every game.

Were you doing this in 2013 during the back-to-back 200-yard games, for instance?
Yeah.

How many of your games would you estimate that you had something in your system for?
Every game. Probably every game of my career.

Including college?
Definitely college.
