Clinton Portis Says He Took Shots of Hennessy Before Games: 'It Was a Turn-Up'

Running back Clinton Portis' drinks of choice on game days during his NFL career apparently included more than just water and Gatorade.

Portis appeared on FS1's Fair Game with Kristine Leahy and discussed his pregame ritual of taking a shot of Hennessy before taking the field. "It was a turn-up. ... For me, it wasn't like I was getting drunk. We took one shot."
