Being a second year player now, Lo Rax was pretty happy to be outside the target of the vets on the Second Line roster when it comes to training camp shenanigans. Not that anything really "bad" had befallen Rax the year prior, but being able to walk around without his head on a swivel, waiting for something to come his way, is nice- plus there's just that much more focus on honing his game, now.
That being said, the generally reserved Lo is down to get in on a little fun himself from time to time. When he was approached by fellow D linemen Godfrey King and Joseph Askins to get in on a prank on newbie Franklin Townsend, Rax couldn't resist. Townsend had been starting to doze off in film review sessions after practices, and those boys came up with the bright idea of getting him good should he ever fully slip into dreamland. Lo and behold, that came to fruition during camp. Once we noticed Frank was out, we completed our film review in hushed voices (because no way would Coach allow us to not finish our work for the day), and slipped out to the parking lot to envelop his hot off the line Audi in plastic wrap (Townsend, the typical rookie, purchased it immediately upon his signing bonus hitting his bank account, in an effort to try and "run with the big dogs" whom are the vets on the team).
That move, in itself, was fun- but things took an unexpected turn in the southern sun that none of the boys saw coming- the plastic warp became a solid shell around the car's body- melting and congealing in a daily cycle of melting and solidifying. Townsend, rightfully, wasn't all that pleased, but the rest of us had a blast with it. He managed to get the wrap off, but the car might forever smell of melting plastic... With the caliber of player that Frank is, I'm sure he'll have plenty of money kicking around for replacement Audis, and we promised him we wouldn't mess with any of his future cars.
