Zlata Talks Sports...sort of

I'm always fascinated with what people's weird rituals or OCDisms are. As one would imagine, athletes make up a high percentage of people who have these crazy odd habits. Let's get into a little preview of who does what!

• Curtis Martin, who is a running back for the New York Jets reads Psalm 91 before each game
• Marshall Faulk, former running back with the Indianapolis Colts and the St Louis Rams, habitually wore all black on the way to the stadium.
• Turk Wendell, formerly a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets, was known for brushing his teeth between innings.
• Wade Boggs, formerly third baseman for the Boston Red Sox (then Yankees and finally Tampa Bay Rays,) ate chicken before each game, and wrote the Hebrew word Chai, meaning "living," in the dirt before each time up at bat.
• South African HOTTIE cricketer Neil McKenzie would tape his bat to the ceiling and insist all toilet seats in the dressing room were down before going out to bat.
• Basketball superstar Michael Jordan always wore his North Carolina college shorts under his Chicago Bulls uniform
• England soccer star (and HOTTIE I made my computer's background image) David Beckham has admitted that he suffers from OCD which may explain the obsessive practice that underpins his prowess with free kicks. He hates the asymmetry of odd numbers, and will throw away one can of Diet Pepsi if he has three in the fridge.
• World tennis number one Rafael Nadal always must have his water bottles be lined up, with the labels facing the baseline he is playing from

I have my own crazy effin' rituals too -- doesn't everyone??
