[@ar_iii_3]

Explains a lot about his antics during games but that’s🧢. aint no way he could drink an entire fifth and turn around and go play without someone noticing and his coordination alone wouldn’t be worth a shit. That ninja was putting more alcohol in his body than water and coming from a medical professional your body will start rejecting all that liquor in more ways than one. Maybe a pint or a couple pints but a fkn fifth? No way his ass would have been actin crazier than he already was.

[@House.Of.Pain.]

One of the guys I went to Highschool with was an amazing football player. He played both sides of the ball offense and defense. Man, he was so cold when it came to football. He played Safety on D and running back on O. He was 6’3 I want to say 210-220lbs on everything he was one of those dudes who was naturally buffed on God he was buff ever since we were kids on my life he was. But before one of our high school games he got drunk drunk! But he legit had the best game of his life that game lol. He scored I can’t remember exactly 4 or 5 TDs, I know 4 for sure though! 3 on O and 1 on D but it could’ve been 2 on D though. But 1 on D he got a Pick 6 and took it to the house. He ended up going ECU (East Carolina university). But then this man ended up getting kicked outta college within his first year! Man, on God I want to say he got kicked out within the first few months because he couldn’t stay away from the greenery aka that Reggie smh lol. He failed multiple and I mean multiple drug tests even after they gave him chance after chance! Some people say that he got home sick and say that he sabotaged himself so he’d be sent home. But if you’re reading this Erick Johnson from *kmulg**, Oklahoma you could’ve been the coldest dude to ever come outta my small town in football, legit no cap no lie you could’ve been! But I remember him telling the story about how he felt that game. He said he felt like water or something and he said everything felt so smooth and felt like he couldn’t be stopped that game 🤦🏾‍♂️ lol. I almost felt like he could’ve been talking about something else altogether! I’m just saying!🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤣

[@carryeveryday910]

Ron Artest said he would drink Hennessy before games and at halftime, sometimes up to an entire bottle. Football I can kind of understand doing it and still being pretty successful. I mean like offensive line or running back a lot of that stuff is more brute strength and physical prowess than it is coordination. I can’t imagine trying to go out drunk playing basketball.
