How to get in shape for the regular season

We are now in the dreaded off-season doldrums between the draft and the first exhibition game.  Boredom and complacency are rampant!  Everybody's going off the deep end debating CJ's contract.  Plus, we have all seen what happened to Kenny Britt when he didn't keep up with his conditioning.  Don't let it happen to you.
 

Think of the awful things that could happen if you don't get in shape and stay in shape for the regular season.  When September rolls around, you could be so slow typing in your game thread comments that nine other people have already posted the same pithy observation by the time you do.  You might sprain your wrist quaffing a brew or spend all Sunday afternoon trying to find a station carrying the game.  You may find that you have forgotten all the stats and/or plays from last year you think will prove that brilliant point you want to post.  Or, worst of all, you could pull a hamstring running to the fridge during a time out.
 

Nuff said.
 

The point is that if you don't get in shape now and stay in shape for the regular season, you could end up with the personal equivalent of an 0-6 start.  So, here are my suggestions for a few things you can do during the off-season to stay ready for the kick-off on September 12th.
 

1.  Methodically work through your progressions every day.  In other words, find yourself a good set of Titan's highlight videos and keep watching them to remind yourself that we did have some things to cheer about in 2009.   I've listed a few samples here, but with a little bit of searching, you can probably find an even better set of your own.

2.  Once a week, while you are watching your videos, practice typing lame comments on your laptop, smartassphone, iPad, NetBook, or whatever you use.  Create new comments every week, and type them in as fast as you can.  Get a friend to time you, keep logs, and set personal goals.
 

3.  As often as possible, go to a bar, pub, friends house, whatever, and practice drinking as many brews and eating as many chips and dip as you can put away in three and a half hours.  By late July, add occasional screaming at the TV to this drill.
 

4.  Hone your skills in the gentle art of online banter with this little exercise:  go into just about any MCM thread; make a rude, sarcastic comment to gramsey or T--Rac's Posse; wait for the thoughtful reply; and then engage them in a lively conversation for a while.
 

5.  Memorize all the stats on these sites:

For extra credit, memorize this one, too:

6.  If you are like me and live outside the Titans usual TV coverage area, create a 45 slide PowerPoint deck to present to your wife clearly showing why it is socially necessary and financially justified for the family fork out the bucks to get a satellite dish and subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket so you can watch all the Titans games in the comfort of your own home.
 

7.  And, of course, read MCM every day!


Ok, Ok, this is a really dumb FanPost!  So, how do you get through the off-season without going stir crazy?
