Ben wisely checks the inside of his helmet to make sure Mike Wallace hasn't put lizards or grasshoppers in it!
Okay, not really! But it still might be a wise idea, just in case there's payback coming:
“He’s a jokester. He plays with you too much, always joking, always trying to play a trick on someone. You got to watch him. He’s doing all types of stuff when we were at camp; he puts lizards and stuff in people’s helmets, especially rookies. He put snowballs (iceballs) in there. I don’t know if it was a lizard, it might have been a grasshopper, but it was something on the field, something from the country, because you don’t do that in the city. Touch insects on the ground? No way. But that’s my dog, man.†— Mike Wallace providing a bit of insider info on his quarterback.
