Ricky Maddox is obviously known for his love of chicken wings. Some would call it obsession. Others would call it reckless dieting habits. Well, Ricky just calls it FUEL.

I mean, how else do you think that he jumped from 255 pounds to 320 within a two year span?

The pregame routine really just involves anything that is in the area around chicken wings. Whether it's making new ideas for sauces, the right termperatures for the preparations for the wings, the method of cooking the delicious white meat all of the way through, etc. There's a method to all of this chicken wing madness that only he can understand.

"I must say, it really is a science. That's what I love about them, there's so many ways to go at them. Obviously fried, baked, naked, sauceless, grilled, boneless (even though I won't necessarily call them wings but technically they still are), sweet, hot, mild, spicy, you name it! I tried a majority but my journey in my production and prep is nowhere near complete."

On the field before every game, you can see diffeent herbs and spices next to him as he's preparing for the games, thinking and preparing different recipes for the next game and beyond. It's already know that he'll be opening a restaurant based around wings after he retires. It's one of the main reasons why he's been banking as much money as he already has (closing on $40 Million). He's been seen passing out wings to his teammates and fans of #WraithsNation during practices. Even sighting that the reason most bad things that happen are more than likely the thought of his wings clouding their mind when they need to make a play.

"I don't know what other reason it would be other than that. Hell, even I'm susceptible to think too hard about these wings. It's an addiction, and the only cure is another set of five (chicken wings)."

Next to him is usually a few Tupperware containers of assorted flavored wings on the field as he do his stretches before games. It'll be interesting to see what he comes up next, he's already up to 45 different flavors that he's been making from scratch, I'm not sure what he has next under his compression sleeve but I'll be first in line to taste whatever he's got cooking. The only question that really reamains is whether or not his love for chicken wings will overtake the love of football.

"Never."

(S3) - PT #2 - Lucky Charms - Archon - 09-18-2017

As a loyal French Catholic, Wraiths offensive lineman Francois Lamoreux keeps a small shrine to the paramount patron saint of France, Saint Joan of Arc, in his locker. His dedication to her providence is so pronounced that he has instructed his agent Archon to use her image as his avatar on official NSFL forums. He acquired a holy relic purported to be Joan of Arc's ring through a shell company, and while a well disguised forgery sits in a French theme park, Lamoreux keeps the real ring on a necklace that he wears at all times. Before each game, he grips the ring tightly and prays to the image of Joan while reciting a prayer.

Glorious Joan of Arc
Make my blocks hit their mark

May they praise the way I fought
And avoid dishonor like a disgraceful Huguenot

Grant me more energy than a coked up Colombian
And avoid treachery like you faced from the Burgundians

Give me the constitution of a mighty mountain
And the support you gave to Charles VII the French Dauphin

Support the offensive line's defense against the enemy siege
Like the one you lifted so easily at Orleans

Don't make my GM's trust in me be a mistake
Or he'll do me like you and burn me at the stake.

As a Fullback on one of the best o-lines in the league and the bonafide #2 Running Back behind former MVP Bubba Nuck… Kennedy mostly just spends the time before the games playing X-Box One and eating nachos. In fact, his pregame warm-up is actually closer to the kind of tailgating you can find outside of the arena. Typically, Kennedy is always the first to the building, allowing him to spend a few minutes studying the plays for the day, so that he can convince the coaching staff that he didn’t procrastinate. Then, he retires to a hidden cove of the locker room, where his trusty X-Box is waiting for him and the rest of the back-ups, who also partake in the aforementioned nachos. As game time approaches, he usually joins the rest of the players with a few minutes to spare, making sure to get some quick stretching done in front of the coaches, so that it looks like he actually took the time to get ready.

However, the real reason that he shows up so early is so that, prior to anyone else arriving, he can try on Bubba Nuck’s gear and pretend to be a real Running Back. Granted, the waistband has started to stretch out a bit, but don’t tell Bubba. He actually thinks he’s packing on weight and has recently started to diet… and it’s really funny.

Jayce Tuck is not a superstitious man. You will not find a bible, a Buddha, a crucifix, a rabbit’s foot, a shiny penny, or a rosary in his locker. What you fill find are some blackout glasses and the best head phones money can buy…not Beats. Tuck then has the equipment manager set the bed they bring for him to every away game up in one of the treatment room and Tuck gets some sleep in. While other guys are off stressing out about the game, eating their food in threes, reading fairy tales, or stuffing their face with mom’s homemade bbq chicken, or whatever superstitious stuff they do Tuck is getting a few hours of extra rest that helps him compete at the highest level. The life of a NSFL athlete can be hectic and during the season time is short, so a few extra hours of sleep on Sunday before a big game can go a long way. Tuck is confident this practice has helped him out-play others on the field throughout his career in both college and the NSFL and it is hard to argue with the results. So you heard it here first rookies, take a nap before the game and you’ll perform. Oh yeah, Tuck also makes sure to take a bump or 20 of cocaine after he wakes up to stay alert. So, definitely do that too, but it’s the naps that make the difference.

Bork Bjornsson doesn’t really have any good luck charms or “rituals” of notable importane, but he does have pre-game habits that he follows extremely consistently, almost religiously. 5 AM wake up. Head to the gym. Do some squats, deadlifts, and bench presses (nothing crazy, just to get those core muscles nice and pumping). Maybe do some curls so his arms look nice on the tv. Get some quick cardio in. 6:30 AM eat eggs and oatmeal. 7 AM meditate for an hour. 8 AM head over to the Yellowknife stadium or hotel lobby. Watch game field. Go over game plan one more time with teammates and coaches. 10 AM eats a pre-game power meal consisting of two bananas, a protein bar, an orange, and some yogurt. 10:30 AM pre-game poop. 11:30 AM heads out to the field for warm ups. Jogs around with his headphones in. Pretends to be in deep philosophical thought about the game. Does some stretching. 12:30 PM heads back into the locker room to get changed into pads. 12:45 PM heads back out to the field to do final walk throughs with team. 1 PM game starts. Plays game. Hopefully wins. 4:30 PM (or somewhere around there) game is over. Talk to other team and media. Get unchanged. Heads home.

This may seem like just a regular schedule, but Bork follows this schedule almost religiously, hence why it’s a kind of “good luck schedule.”

(S3) - PT #2 - Lucky Charms - 4D Chess - 09-18-2017

It's 30 minutes before gametime, and C.A. Chess is nowhere to be found. Yet with 15 minutes to go usually King Bronko or Chess gives a pregame speech to get the troops fired up and Chess is there every time. So where exactly is C.A. Chess? Well, one of the security guards may have the answer. "Yeah, I've seen him out there a few times... I mean, honestly he's usually got a big old joint that his girlfriend rolled him in his hand and he's chiefing it down. He's got some anxiety issues, he's a real jittery guy. Like a tiger in a cage. And I think he smokes to kind of 'let the tiger out' in a lot of ways." Well, it would certainly make sense. Outlaws players have admitted that usually Chess' pregame speeches are more stream-of-consciousness than anything. In fact, before the conference championship game last season Chess entire speech was simply "Duuuuude... Listen to this" before slapping a "Dark Side of the Moon" vinyl down on his record player.

As Chess moves into a larger role in Season 2 you gotta believe he's hoping that the NSFL continues to allow players to smoke, because we're not sure what he would do without it.

Calkewlated Chambers the third likes to spend the day before game day cooking. If his whole house doesn't smell like freshly baked bread and slow cooked roast beef, it just isn't football weekend. He starts his Saturdays by hitting up the local farmers market to get some fresh vegetables to grill for sides. He also obtains beautifully ripe tomatoes and a head of lettuce. Then he watches college football throughout the day, anxiously waiting for Saturday Night football in Baton Rouge. He enjoys watching the hopeful LSU tigers play a hard fought South Eastern Conference game. By game time the crock pot has perfected his roast beef and the oven has finished baking his french bread. He cuts off the ends to give it that southern Louisiana Po-boy look. He adds the delicious roast beef and fully dresses it with lettuce, tomatoes, and tops it all off with some gravy. "Make it sloppy" he thinks. After football and dinner, it's time to meditate on tomorrows game. He lights a few candles and sits on the floor in the low lit room. He allows his head to drift to gameday preperations. He can see it in his "mind palace." He runs through every play that could be called tomorrow. Then it's lights out to get some rest for tomorrows big game.

Like many players, Josh Garden has a special secret to help him achieve his best on game day. Some would call it luck, and they make sure they put on their gear a certain way or carry an item with them on the field to improve their play. Josh Garden doesn't have anything like that, but what he does have is something that he considers himself very lucky to have, Michael's Secret Stuff.

Every game Josh Garden has played in the National Simulation Football League he has had the benefit of this magical formula to help him play his best. It all started thanks to an amazing teammate and a bad first half early in his career. At half time of a game versus the San Jose SaberCats, in a game that Josh Garden was struggling to produce in, teammate Chris Orosz was tring his best to console Garden and coax a performance out of his star receiver. He tried telling him how he would shake it off and he was too good to keep playing like this, but Garden would not be shaken out of his sullen demeanor. Eventually, Orosz had an idea. He whispered for Garden to get up and follow him, that he had something very special for his receiver. He led Garden to his locker and there it was, Michael's secret stuff. Orosz told Garden that it was his, and it would help him play better. Garden, an avid lover of Space Jam, took the bottle like an excited child and slammed it back. He went on to have a great second half and from then on, every single game Chris Orosz has a bottle of Michael's Secret Stuff ready for Josh Garden.
