Early years
Born to a dysfunctional family, Adam grew up as the oldest of three siblings and helped raise the two younger ones, who went on to become an accountant and a criminal respectively. One out of two ain't bad. His childhood was awful, full of abuse, and incredibly unstable. His teenage years were catastrophic as he met and lost his father to cancer within two years, the abusive relationship with his mother ramped up as she lost what little will she had to be a parent, and also they had to live in New Jersey. When he was 16 the family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and then he left the house as soon as he turned 18. Having already moved enough that he lived in 9 different states (New Jersey, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Washington, Wisconsin, Arizona, and finally Nevada) Adam had developed an understanding of the world that many others his age didn't have. And a sarcastic streak to match. Unlike most athletes, Adam didn't participate in any high school sports at all.
College career
Adam did not attend college, being poor and unmotivated. He did however move to California for a girl. There he discovered sushi, alcohol, and selling guns to postal workers. He eventually moved to Idaho where he did those same things but colder and with more potatoes. After several years of drifting around, he got into his first serious relationship in several years and moved back to Nevada where he got married and eventually began to raise a family. Then one night, he was drinking with friends and saw a tryout for the NSHL, a brand new professional hockey league. He lost a bet, tried out, and to the shock of everyone, made the league. He was picked by the Vienna Eagles late into the draft rounds as no one knew who the hell he was and he had no background whatsoever that suggested he would be useful. He promptly went on to finish in the top 10 in the league in points that year. The league folded due to financial troubles (like paying random people off the street several million dollars, most of whom did not turn out to be prodigies) and Adam and family lived off the money made there and a gig hosting sports talk programs that came after until he decided to take one more shot at being a professional athlete. This time he trained for nearly a year before signing up to compete in the DSFL.
Professional career
DSFL career
In the DSFL Adam served as the slot WR of the London Royals. It was not a stat heavy position, which was not a problem for Adam as he always had the longterm plan in mind and the DSFL itself was just a stop along the way. He also regularly engaged in one-sided social media scuffles with various members of the Dallas Birddogs. They did their best to keep up. He was chosen with the coveted 69th pick. As the team's stalwart slot WR, Spencer clogged up the middle of defenses regularly and contributed in blocking as well on the way to the team's Utlimini victory over Norfolk. He was considered to be a locker room leader by the younger players, even taking time to help them understand how to maximize their future contracts. The team struggled early but slowly coalesced into a fearsome unit as the season went on. The team began to really play it's best football late in the year, winning four of the last five games to clinch home field advantage in their conference. This included sweeping the regular season series vs league favorite Norfolk. After easily cruising by Portland in the conference finals, London found itself in the Ultimini at home against Norfolk yet again, where they came form behind the win the Ultimini in dramatic fashion.
ISFL career
After falling significantly past general expectations, Adam was drafted by the New Orleans Second Line at pick #63. Experts suggested that his publicized demands of not spending any extra seasons in the DSFL and being legally tamperable by all teams played a large part in his fall. Others suggested this his blunt and straightforward manner put off some front offices. He was quoted as saying "These things happen. I just want to go out and prove they made mistakes. Really give 110%. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Every journey begins with a single step. It's not about how you start, it's how you finish. There is no I in team. Hulu has live sports." Spencer signed a 3 year contract for $3 Million (and up to $3 Million more in bonuses). He is expected to start immediately as the team's Slot WR, the same role he played in London.
