*Forrest Gump + Jimmy Dugan Joint Presser

[TomHanks]

Who in the Tijuana locker room do you hope will step up and lead your new class of rookies?

What is the best item/object/thing in the Tijuana locker room? Do you have an endless supply of chocolates?

What tradition does Tijuana do before every game?

Forrest:
“Well we got a lot of real nice guys in the locker room, former players included. The guy returnin’ who’s been active constantly since joining the team who I’m really hoping will step up and lead the offensive side of the ball, I think Laszlo Forty-Two can be a guy to show people the ropes. He’s got a funny way of talkin’ but what he’s always got the team in mind first. Defensively, while he hasn’t been ‘round too long, Jordan Andrews has shown he can step up and be a leader, so I’m glad Jimmy was able to bring him back in the draft.”

Jimmy:
“Me, obviously. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself, so I will personally be ensuring each rookie knows what’s going on and is ready to go for game day each and every week. There’s no replacement for the leadership of the right person, and believe you me, I am the only right person for this job.”

Forrest:
“Life is like a box of chocolates, but the best thing in the Tijuana locker room is the endless supply of Doctor Pepper. When Jimmy installed the mini fridge I must’ve drank me 15 of ‘em. I’ll see if we can get an endless supply of chocolates too, that’s a real good idea.”

Jimmy:
“This may come as a surprise, but I’m actually going to agree with Forrest, at least partially. Obviously I’m not saying Dr. Pepper is the best part, but that mini bar is. I originally bought the soda as a mixer, but I’m not going to stop to team from enjoying it, so long as they keep their mitts off my booze. But that bad boy is fully stocked at all times, per my new contract, and I’m working on negotiating to get a keginator installed too. That might beat out the bar as my favourite thing once that gets here.”

Forrest:
“Everyone’s got their own rituals, and we like to respect that. Once everyone’s feeling good and ready to go, Jimmy gives us a pre game speech and then leads us all in a prayer. Being from Alabama and raised religious I really like that.”

This is met by murmurs from the crowd about what business Jimmy Dugan has leading a prayer

“What? I’m a man of God. As a matter of fact let me give you a preview of what the prayer will be before the upcoming preseason game, I adapted it from one I used when coaching women’s baseball:
Uh, Lord, hallowed be Thy name. May our feet be swift; may our tackles be mighty; may our balls be thrown accurately. Lord, I'd just like to thank You for that waitress in South Bend. You know who she is - she kept calling Your name.”
