There was an article a couple years ago that traced the frequency of "events" in July. Arrests and things like that weren't surprising, since it is the one time when players have weeks of free time. But there were also a lot of injuries. Players leaving the programs healthy at the end of June, then returning for TC with new or worsened injuries. It is impossible to avoid it, especially with guys who are workout maniacs, as many of them are.
It is NOT impossible to avoid this. The team needs simply to hire Letroy Guion's dad to coordinate the July "team building" activities. A couple of team-building sessions featuring a bong and re-runs of Sanford and Son and Hogan's Heroes, and those workout maniacs will be cured of their temptations.

A healthy, mellow team would be walking into training camp, the cameraderie already high as they discussed whether Schultz really did know something or not.
