There’s a great doc on ESPN+ about Tony Mandarich that really does his story justice. I tried to find it online, but didn’t see it anywhere. If you have ESPN+ it’s worth checking out though. His life was crazy during his NFL career.

He was so hooked on pain pills he would hide them in his jock strap and pop them during practices, and when his addiction got really bad he started shooting up during practice. If I remember correctly he said there was never a practice or game where he wasn’t high during his time in Green Bay. Some of the stuff he was doing during that time was just wild. He was basically Bubbles from The Wire playing in the NFL.

So. Cal
Packers passed on Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, and Deion Sanders to select him
:mjlol:

What a finesse move tho :wow:

And in came Ron Wolf and the rest is history :wow:


Meanwhile the Lions have been spiraling downward ever since Barry Sanders prematurely retired due to being a Lions player :scust:
