Thanksgiving and self-control don't always go in the same sentence. Unless you're Tennessee Titans guard Chance Warmack.
On Thanksgiving morning, Titans head coach Mike Mularkey weighed all of his players and advised them to "not get too crazy" with a game against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. The following morning, at a team meeting, Mularkey asked his players if they were confident that they kept their weight in control. Warmack confidently raised his hand without knowing that there was a scale hidden in a nearby closet and a $50 bonus on the line.
According to Mularkey, Warmack "stripped down to nothing” before stepping on the scale. On Thanksgiving, the Titans guard was 327 pounds. On Friday, he came in 326 pounds. “I said, 'Well I'm so proud of you (Chance), come on down here -- I'm going to give you this money,” Mularkey said. “He came down like Rocky, like 'I've won.'"
