Most players who join Troperiffic are secretive about their past, and inquiring about it is considered bad form among the players and a violation of team policy among the coaches. However, some players are quite open about their nefarious deeds, and others lie to make themselves seem tougher.

The head coach sincerely hopes that Hate Sink falls into the latter category, as that player spends the bulk of his free time relating the most heinous of crimes to anyone who will listen. Between the tales of sadism and brutality that make Ax Crazy blanch, the stories of betrayal and selfishness that make Heel-Face Turn turn away in disgust, and the gleeful recountings of rape and murder that earned him a beating from Big Brother Instinct, there is little reason for anyone to feel sympathetic about his status as Line of Scrimmage fodder.
