"I just eat a Snickers before every game and tie my left shoe before I tie my right shoe," Hamilton receiver Brandon Banks, the CFL's most outstanding player, said as his team prepared for Sunday's Grey Cup against Winnipeg.
"What I like to do with my shoes — I always have to have at least two or three times around before I actually loop it. It has to be that. If it ain't that. It ain't right."Blue Bombers running back and CFL rushing leader Andrew Harris starts his pre-game checklist at least three hours before kickoff.
Harris then chats with teammates as they trickle into the locker room. His equipment goes on and his ankles get taped followed by another few minutes of introspection. "I'm very particular about my feet," Harris explained."I'll put my cleats on and if my socks don't feel right then I'll change my socks out."My ankles get taped so if my ankle doesn't feel right when I go run out, sometimes I'll get an ankle taped three different times to make sure it's right. That's maybe a little bit of a superstition."
