philippe eko eel likes to rub off on his teammates - literally. he has a special maneuver called the Real Deal Eel Peel where in the locker room he wraps his slimy eel body all around one of his teammates. the teammate gets completely coated in eel slime and the superstition declares that some of eel's incredible skills and talent rub off as well. he specifically targets this move towards younger players like billy herrington @Ferda who seems to particularly like it, and old players such as binko koivu and angus mcfife @goldenglutes @micool132 who could use a little extra pep in their step in their old age - eel's slime provides! he has gone on record stating he will not yet do this to Sim Wen @Jepox and he will wait until the young man is of lega age. in actuality, philippe eko eel knows that no such special powers can be conferred via eel slime, he's just doing his best to motivate his teammates to live up to their own potentials and talents.
