SaberCats' OL Daniel Robicheaux shares his thoughts on a pancake prank his teammates pulled on him during team activities.
"I remember one time during OTAs, a couple other o-line guys, I think Longshaw was one of 'em, tricked me into thinking we were gonna do blindfolded blocking drills for a little while. I guess I just thought it made sense, since at some point I'd probably have to make a block where I couldn't see them real well, so I said okay. Of course, I was the only one that actually put on a blindfold. So they told me to go ahead and practice my blocks against the dummy, and someone said I should pancake it as hard as I could. Turns out there was no dummy at all, so when I went to make my block I ended up not hitting anything. Well, they all know I love pancakes and syrup and all that, so what they did was they got a kiddie pool and a ton of syrup, and they filled it up and put it right in front of me. I'm sure you know where this is going by now. I go to make the block, I don't hit anything, and then I just trip into a kiddie pool full of pancake syrup. I felt like an idiot, but the whole thing was really funny. They helped me clean up my gear and such, and I even went home with a couple bottles they didn't use. I got to joke around in practice and I got some free bottles of syrup, so I think I came away the winner here."
