Short-Sleeping Psycho Adam Gase Hits The Smelling Salts Ahead Of Preseason Kickoff
Adam Gase is a sleep-deprived maniac who powers himself through each workday with “five or six 20-ounce cups” of coffee plus the occasional Red Bull, because his regular Football Man routine provides less than four hours of sleep per night.
