Football Player Says Teammates Smoked Pot Before Super Bowl

Former NFL linebacker and special teamer Brendon Ayanbadejo played in two Super Bowls with the Bears and Ravens. And in a recent FOX Sports podcast with former NFL linebacker Scott Fujita, Ayanbadejo said some teammates were smoking marijuana in the days leading up to one of those Super Bowls.

Ayanbadejo, who won a Super Bowl with the Ravens last season and was with the Bears when they lost to the Colts in 2006, didn't offer specifics about the team or the players.

"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 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," Ayanbadejo said. "I could just imagine there were a few young guys just toking it up in more than one room. I was like, 'Man this is the week of the Super Bowl and you're just going in?'
