One of my favorite things to do is prank the new rookies every season. In Honolulu, we decided to dig up an old favorite of mine that I used to do in Austin. So, we tell the new guys that somewhere in the locker room we’ve hidden a brass ring. It could be anywhere. The first rookie who finds it is given $500,000 cash, they get the closest parking spot to the door (a VERY big deal), and they fly first class to all of our away games this season. We even made up fake plaques so everything looks legit. We make them show up early in the morning and send them into the room to tear it apart to find this ring. The ring of course, does not exist. So these rookies bust their asses tearing up our locker room and making a huge mess. Its about that time that the coaching staff walks in as we prepare for practice. They see the mess, and they scold the rookies for disgracing our locker room. They make them clean up every inch of the room and put everything back, then they have to run laps as a punishment. It’s hilarious. (201)
