While we all know getting a “contact high” isn’t actually a real thing, CBS Sports announcer and former 90s NFL quarterback journeyman Boomer Esiason claims that he and co-host Matt Millen once accidentally showed up to the broadcast stoned out of their minds.

All courtesy of some nearby stoner sparking up of course. Yeah, okay. Esiason made the shocking admission on his Boomer & Carton show yesterday where he told a very ambiguous story.

“Now here’s the deal. What you’re saying, for some listeners or some viewers now that are listening to us for the first time, what you’re saying is accurate. I did get high. I did. I didn’t realize I was getting high when I got high, but I got high — and I have to tell you that it was one of the best broadcasts I’ve ever had.The radio booth is like a lean-to in the middle of the stands. And it’s a (December) game. It’s the Chiefs at the Patriots, both teams have major losing records, it’s raining outside, it’s cold, there might be about 40,000 people in the stadium, it is awful. And there’s this grim reaper outside of our booth, and he’s got a hoodie on and he’s got a big ol’ puffy jacket on, and he’s smoking weed. And he’s blowing it into the lean-to. I mean, we’re 3 minutes into the game and Matt Millen’s already looking for something to eat. And Howard David is trying to keep us focused on the game, and Matt Millen and I are talking about everything but the game.”

Just admit it, Boomer. You smoke trees. Don’t worry, we’re not going to judge you on it. I’m irie too!
