Traveling from game to game by unicycle just didn't seem practical.

Mandarich: I Was Never Sober In Green Bay
Posted by Josh Alper on April 17, 2009, 3:55 p.m. EDT

Former Colts and Packers offensive lineman Tony Mandarich finally came clean about his drug use last year, but he offered further details into his painkiller addiction in an interview with ESPN.com's Kory Kozak.

"I spent four years in Green Bay and never [had] a sober day," Mandarich said. "Every day I was ever in Green Bay I was not sober."

Mandarich also told Kozol that he would shoot himself up with painkillers — Stadol, Fiorinal #3, Percodan, Percocet and Valium are mentioned — during practice and then return to the field.

"I was getting really paranoid about people finding out, so what I would do with that bottle and a syringe, I would put it in my jock strap," Mandarich said. "I'd say, 'Hey, I've got to go to the bathroom,' lock myself in the bathroom, take a shot, and then come back out to practice and get ready for one-on-one pass drills with the defensive line, and I'm half in the bag."

Mandarich switched from injections to pills over time, because they were cheaper, and after he left the Packers he was taking up to 70 pills a day and washing them down with alcohol. He went to rehab in 1995 and joined the Colts the next year. He played until 1998, and says he's been clean ever since his initial trip to rehab.

He'd put a syringe with a needle in his jock strap and go out and play?

NFL: Start time of Jets game is changed

Associated Press
The NFL has moved up the start time of the New York Jets' game against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 27 after the team complained to the league about having to play home games on consecutive Jewish holidays.

The league made the change yesterday, rescheduling the 4:15 start to 1 p.m. a day after Jets owner Woody Johnson sent a letter to commissioner Roger Goodell suggesting the switch to allow fans to arrive home before sundown on Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement.

The Jets' home opener against New England is 1 p.m. on Sept. 20, which falls during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

"By changing the time of the Tennessee game from 4:15 p.m. to 1 p.m., the NFL has provided the best compromise to resolve our scheduling conflict," Johnson said. The Jets' owner also thanked Goodell and Howard Katz, the league's senior vice president of broadcasting and media operations, for their prompt response.

Jets officials called the league offices first on Wednesday to express their concern, and Johnson followed with a formal letter Thursday.

As a result of the schedule change, the Titans-Jets and Giants-Buccaneers games will be televised head-to-head on different networks. The Giants are on the road for both Jewish holidays, with a game at Dallas at 8:20 p.m. in Week 2, and the game at Tampa, Fla., the following Sunday.
