VIDEO: Blake Bortles Bought a $160,000 Tesla to Quit Chewing Tobacco

Blake Bortles may not be the best quarterback in the NFL, but that doesn't mean he isn't a creative problem solver. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback revealed on Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take podcast that he bought a $160,000 Tesla, mainly in order to quit chewing tobacco.

So did it work? Nope!
The plan was sound in theory. An electric car would alleviate the need to go to the gas station, where Bortles gets his dip. But the five-year NFL veteran admitted that instead of buying the tobacco while he was at the gas station, he ended up just making regular trips there instead.
Your heart was in the right place, Blake, but the execution wasn't quite there. Much like your tenure in Jacksonville, if we're being honest!
