Retired quarterback Brett Favre says he made three trips to rehabilitation centers during his Hall of Fame career to fight his dependence on painkillers and alcohol.

Favre told Sports Illustrated he took as many as 14 Vicodin at one time during the 1995 season in Green Bay. Favre won the first of his three consecutive Most Valuable Player awards that season.

”It is really amazing Jabaal Sheard Jersey , as I think back, how well I played that year,” Favre said. ”That was an MVP year for me. But that year, when I woke up in the morning, my first thought was, `I gotta get more pills.”’

Favre said his issues with pills caused him to spend 28 days at a center in Rayville Jaelen Strong Jersey , Louisiana, in the early 1990s. Favre also says he spent 28 days in rehab ”strictly for drinking” in 1998. The story also mentions a previously reported 72-day stint at a Kansas City rehab center in the mid-1990s to get off Vicodin.

”When I drank, I drank to excess,” Favre said. ”So when I went in the second time, to the place in Kansas, I remember vividly fighting them in there. They said drinking was the gateway drug for me Kareem Jackson Jersey , and they were right, absolutely right, but I wouldn’t admit it. I will never forget one of the nurses. I had it all figured out. I fought with this nurse all the time. I would not admit the drinking problem. At the end, she said to me, `You’ll be back.’

”I was back. 1998. Guess who was waiting there when I walked in – that same nurse.”

The Packers, through a spokesman Von Miller Jersey , declined comment. The front office and coaching staff has turned over several times over the last 20 years.

Favre played in the NFL from 1991-2010 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

Information from: Sports Illustrated ( Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall better hope LeBron James' postseason excellence is over.

Randall promised on Twitter that if James and the Cavaliers upset the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals he would buy a jersey for anyone who re-tweeted his post. As of Tuesday afternoon, there were 334,000 re-tweets on Randall's account (@RandallTime).

Randall was acquired by the Browns in March in a trade from Green Bay. He has posted numerous tweets in the past backing the Warriors. He responded to one skeptic by saying he would "100 percent" deliver on his pledge.

Playing for one of Cleveland's teams, however, and openly rooting against another isn't a wise move. Also, Randall's boast could prove expensive Carson Tinker Jersey , but the 25-year-old did not specify which jersey he'd purchase.

Randall intends to be courtside at Games 3 and 4 when series comes to Cleveland. Game 1 is Thursday night at Golden State.
