Ethan Hunt's already establishing himself, not as a dominant quarterback that the Otters drafted him for, but the jokester and locker room prankster with a prank on fellow quarterback Mike Boss. Reportedly after this morning's practice, Hunt had entered the locker room earlier than the rest of the roster and dunked Boss' spare pair of gloves into a Gatorade Water Cooler and left them to soak inside the cooler. The gloves, of course, were ruined by this, and Boss wasn't the happiest camper in the locker room post-prank, but Hunt had not stopped there. He later posed as an Otters fan at a meet-and-greet later that day, asking fellow Otters players such as Josh Bercovici, Omar Wright and Ian Bavitz for autographs and asking the most outrageous questions, such as their game day routine, plans for the night and, of course, chirping them or making fun of them.
"We're trying to keep it loose in the locker room before the regular season starts." Hunt later told media. "Both the regular season, especially the beginning and end, are the most stressful parts of being a professional football player. Not only is the season fairly short, but your entire season can be ended with a bad hit, or an untimely injury. If we keep the mood in the locker room light and relaxed, but stay focused on our goal and what we're here for, I don't see any wrong with my pranks and jokes."

Back in North Florida, specifically Tallahassee, hunting is a prominent interest. Bailey Cook is one of many people from this area who enjoy it. He loves the wilderness, a love that is not limited to simply hunting. Cook is also an avid hiker and fisherman, but for the sake of this story, we are sticking with hunting. After a long Friday at the Maclay School, the receiver and his friends would take Tannerite, a reactive rifle substance, and go hog hunting. According to an interview for a high school magazine, Cook was quoted that the hogs "just go flyin' like forty feet in the air".
With the move to San Jose to join the Sabercats, it is only natural that fewer opportunities to go hog-hunting presented themselves. But one day, Cook decided to bring the hogs to him, more specifically, to the locker room. After practice one day, he was the first off the field, and went to the crate he had brought with him to the facilities. After bringing the crate into the locker room, he let two hogs run free. The hogs, presented with an unfamiliar environment, truly went "hog wild" and ran in every which way. Cook's teammates were shocked to find hogs in the locker room, and everyone already knew the person responsible for this. Linebacker A.C. Hackett said, "Here we go again with Bailey and the hogs and all the Tannerite."
Only time will tell if this was the final hog related incident in the San Jose Sabercats locker room.

With a nickname like “The Waterboy, ” it should be a given that Johnny Saint like to have fun. Throughout training camp, he has been known to pull on the entire locker room. He was once suspended for one game in college because of his pranks. Always looking to top himself, his most recent prank has become king. After a great game against the Baltimore Hawks, teammates of Johnny Saint noticed that he left them some small celebratory gifts in their cars. Knowing that a few of them had a fear of different creatures, he decided to load their cars up with them. He put a full grown alligator in the back seat of Luke Tiernan’s car. When Bojo Kicksit saw that his car wouldn’t start, he decided to go underneath the hood. What he saw was snake curled up on his engine. One by one, the entire team was getting pranked and screaming like babies, everyone except Phillippe Carter. He became hesitant as he opened the car door, start the engine and drive off. After 20 minutes of riding, he finally relaxed. He thought he was the only one to leave unscathed, but he had no idea that he was next. At a red light, Johnny Saint popped up from the backseat with a clown mask on. Phillippe Carter got so scared that he jumped out of the car and started running. Johnny Saint had to chase him down in the car for over a mile. When asked to comment Johnny Saint said ‘it’s going to down in the history books.” To say that the team was not happy with the presents that The Waterboy got them is a massive understatement.

Lance Catamaran here and where there is news I am here to report it!
Rumor Has It that even after the kerfuffle at Yellowknife training camp the pranks haven't stopped.
It all started with the admittedly unimpressive use of Bakery eclairs to make fun of new number two wide receiver LeClaire's name. Then it continued on also involving defensive tackle Mark Ramrio and number one wide receiver Josh Gordon. Initially, as earlier reported with a fake snake in the showers, it then escalated to a point that some would argue had gone too far. The prank in question was to take some bags of flour and some bags of sugar, mixing it up and spreading it all around Garden's Locker, hotel room, and other personal effects such as his car. Mark Ramrio was used as an alibi for the pranksters. Quarterback Chris Orosz was heard to say this is going to be great he'll never know what hit him. However they underestimated Gardens ability to huff and snort everything he got his nose to, and when they tried to surprise him he was just sitting there completely clean if a little jittery because of the sugar. In return Garden messed with Orosz's pads, he replaced his helmet with the single bar kicker style, and quite possibly most heinously, he deflated all of the footballs in the supposed it hopes that the NSFL commissioner would take offense and have a stern talking-to with the quarterback.
One has to wonder with the acceleration and escalation of these pranks has it crossed the line from harmless fun into mean-spirited attempts at destroying someone's livelihood.

The Locker room between the San Jose Sabercats for the most part is one of the quietest locker rooms around the league, under the captaincy of linemen Ben Longshaw, the Sabercats keep mostly to themselves, and are a rather collected group. But behind closed doors, the Sabercats have one terrible secret. A Prank war, which stems all the way up to the GM Himself, Perk Rules. We sat down with Starting RB Vick Bowers Jr. to discuss this ongoing war, and how it's affected his time on the field with the cats so far.
"I think that the main thing we take away from the jokes and stuff we pull in the Locker Room is the camaraderie. We're all brothers out there, and we take our jobs very seriously, but out on that field? It's a game, and you gotta have fun with it. Preparation sometimes takes the fun outta the game. The main guy doing it honestly is [Bailey] Cook. Those recievers man, they're weird people, all these pregame rituals and shit. He will like tie my shoes together before every game. He says it's so both of my feet work together or some shit, but it takes me at least 10 minutes to untie them every time."
The Sabercats have another game tonight when they take on the Arizona Outlaws. For Tom Jefferson, this has been ABC5 here in San Jose.

Do you like mine fields? Does any real person get fired up about the possibility of exploring an active or still dangerous explosive graveyard setting? I can tell you, Angus Winchester is definitely not a fan. According to Adam Schefter, Angus came to practice on Monday with quite a surprise waiting for him around his locker. Over one thousand set and ready mousetraps, arranged in large circle with a herringbone pattern.
Ango might be a gluten for punishment, he might not quite understand the concept of mouse trap, (see Angus's Wisdom and Intelligence score) or he might have simply wanted to boomerang the prank right back at his teammates. Angus's motivations might not be known, however what happened next has been collaborated by several witnesses and colleagues.
Angus jumped right into the center, waved his limbs attempting to make a mouse trap angel, and started flinging unsprung traps at all surrounding teammates. The remaining Orange County Otters still in the practice facility scattered, hands covering their eyes and groin. The Otters evacuated from the building so fast the coaching staff has collected and saved the video, thinking of future possible uses in speed enhancement, advanced resolve strengthening, and viral media sourcing material.

John Canton is proving to be quite the shutdown corner, and takes his job very seriously. But in a recent interview, he showed us a more playful side when talking about how he gets along with his new team outside of game day.
"I'm not sure what you've heard, but I have a prank I like to pull on the receivers that we used to do all the time back in college. It's kinda like a welcome to the no fly zone initiation, but it gives us some good laughs. You see, what you do is, you take just a little bit of clear tape. Like the kind you use to wrap a present, cuz packing tape won't work. So you take the tape and you cut it into real small pieces, just big enough to stick on the fingertips of your receivers gloves. Small enough that they don't see or notice them, but we know they there. Then you play em hard out on the field, force them to the outside, and they try to make these fingertip grabs, and the ball just goes shooting out. It's not much, but receivers got big egos, so they start to get all mad. So you gotta remind em it's just a prank. Brah."
Canton then pointed to Weston and gave a nod, then chuckled to himself as he jagged back to the field.

Not all pranks are good natured. This is the harsh reality facing Orange County Back Up QB Mike Boss, as he was recently the victim of a prank played on him by the organization's front office.
"They told me that I was their guy. They said they were going to ride me and give me a shot to prove myself out there. I was so happy after we were able to grind out a win, I felt like the team made a lot of progress. It's easy to follow up a 6 INT game with something better, but I knew throwing 3 more was still a sign I had a lot to work on. Lost in my jubilation from helping lead the team to our first ever win, I was asked to come into Coach Goofball's office. He told me that I would be sitting on the bench, that I wasn’t going to be the starting QB anymore; despite leading the team to a victory. So yeah, the biggest prank the Orange County Otters played was telling me I was their starter."
While there was surely a QB controversy, it's unprecedented in professional sports to give up on a starting QB after only two games. Now that the front office has effectively destroyed the morale of their best QB, how will they recover?

Pranks have been happening league wide this year, a big reason is because of the simple fact that everybody is a rookie, so no one is safe. Vincent Sharpei can attest to that, the undrafted, waiver pick up by the Baltimore Hawks has been doing some offense versus defense pranks out in Baltimore.
Vincent Sharpei saw fit that one day before a game, he saw Kurt Hendrix roll up to the stadium in a new Ferrari. Instead of just letting it go, Sharpei did the unthinkable, he got together with some of the other Linemen and pushed Hendrix’s car into the handicap spot. After pushing the car into the spot, he then went into the stadium, got with a couple of the vendors and filled the car with popcorn.
But Sharpei wasn’t done, after all of this was done, he additionally shrink-wrapped the entirety of the car, and so Kurt couldn’t even get into it. Sadly, the prank went too far, and security ended up calling the cops and getting the Ferrari towed. Some people would say that the prank had gone a bit far, and some others would beg to differ. Vincent Sharpei is just trying to have a good time, before figuring out where he goes next year in the draft.

The Yeti celebrated joyously a big week 2 victory over the Yellowknife Wraiths, a conference rival. However, the jovial feeling led to a spirit of mischief in the air. Many Yeti players were joking around with each other and teasing each other during the celebration. A few players ribbed Boss Tweed about his first quarter fumble against the Wraiths. The play nearly cost the Yeti the game, but they were able to retake the lead with Logan Noble’s late 4th quarter touchdown pass. Luckily Tweed helped to redeem himself with runs that set up the Yeti’s touchdown and their second field goal and the Yeti pulled out the victory, so the teasing was mostly good natured. A few people referred to Tweed as “butterfingers” as a joke. After about an hour of celebration, Tweed went to his locker to collect his things and go home. However, when he tried to open the lock, he discovered that somebody had coated it in butter. He tried to get a good grip for a couple minutes before deciding to simply take the time to wipe off the butter. When he went outside to his car, he saw that it was surrounded by a circle of tubs of butter and the door handles were also covered in butter. Luckily, the day’s big victory allowed Tweed to laugh off the prank, although he made a mental note to spend plenty of time focusing on ball control to avoid future fumbles. Tweed is also unaware who the prankster was, but he has a couple of revenge pranks in mind for when he does find out.
