    Titans players go nuts during lineman relay race to earn a day off | FOX Sports

    1st it was games of HORSE, then spelling Bees and now rely racing?

    Is this really the best use of time to develop a young team?

    I mean, I understand the philosophy (team building, Morale, etc), but for a young and undisciplined team last year, is focusing on the "fun and games" really going to help? Does Mularkey truly believe that this is the secret sauce that will make this team competitive?

    No reason to be a drill sergeant, but most these players have never had a taste of winning. They don't know what it means to be a professional. Shouldn't the focus be put on that?

    Maybe I am over-reacting, but Fisher and Munch tried these same types of shenanigans, and it got us no where. Is Bill Belicheck allowing his players to play grab ass at practice everyday?

    The point of these are after practice, he sets up team building competitions. Everything he is doing would be considered a form of competing with each other.

    I forget what interview it was, but he said he wants his players to be ultra competitive on and off the field..

    As for yesterday, he wasn't even planning on having them come in. But Amy Adams said she wanted so see one of the events and also wanted to tell the players face to face that she just finalized the purchase of a home in Nashville.

    None of this is taking away from practice time, except for the relay, which was the sole purpose of it.

    You are bitching about something that takes away minutes of time away.

    It seems like the players enjoy it and it's competitive. Doesn't bother me.

    As others have said, I don't think they're calling off practice to have a spelling bee...just a couple of mins before or after practice that they're using in a different manner.

    You probably used more time typing this out than it took the Titans to run a fat guy relay race.

    Guys are gonna horse around anyways, might as well keep practice intresting and incorporate it in somehow.

    Any added pressure on Warmack is a plus, that guy needs to play up to his draft pick.
