NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The renovations Tennessee started this offseason with a new general manager are making quite the impression, and the Titans proved Friday theyre nowhere near finished as players reported for training camp.Tennessee added seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson to the roster Friday as the Titans walked into their headquarters to find a swanky, revamped locker room awaiting them along with hallways redecorated in a building that originally opened in 1999. The indoor practice facility isnt scheduled to be ready until Aug. 10, but the redecorating done over the past five weeks left the Titans impressed with ownerships commitment.Linebacker Brian Orakpo cant wait to show off the mural of himself on one wall of the team meeting room to his wife and children.It exceeded all of our expectations, Orakpo said. I know we talked about it throughout OTAs and the offseason, but I mean coach and the rest of the staff and everybody else on board making these changes definitely did it big. Were definitely excited. This is something you want to come to work each and every day. This is what a winning organization looks like.Winning isnt something this franchise has done much of the past few seasons, dipping to an NFL-worst five victories combined over the past two years.Coach Mike Mularkey said he started talking to controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk about the changes needed around the facility after being promoted to interim head coach last November. Once general manager Jon Robinson was hired, Strunk approved a laundry list of improvements with the locker room and indoor practice field at the top. Even landscaping and new artwork for the walls in the hallway were included.The stadium also has had all the seats replaced with new red paint making it look as good outside as the day it opened in August 1999.The roster itself has had almost as much changeover with more than 40 percent of the Titans new to Tennessee with Johnson the 37th new player added either through free agency or the draft. Safety Rashad Johnson, who left Arizona to sign with Tennessee, said all the changes amps up the excitement the Titans already felt about training camp starting.When you come in and see ownership and the leadership of this organization invests in the building and also invests in us when they do that it just changes the atmosphere, Johnson said. Theres a great energy in the building today. It feels like a refreshness coming back from this time off and the guys are just really excited. ... Its a great thing.Marcus Mariota arrived in Nashville a few days before training camp opened and worked with some of his wide receivers to hone their timing after the break. He said the Titans cant become complacent with the new surroundings.We cant just let the new facilities be it, Mariota said. Weve got to use that to the best of our abilities and establish some type of confidence going into the year.The latest addition is Johnson, the 13-year veteran who ranks eighth in NFL history with 1,053 catches and ninth with 14,100 yards receiving and 68 touchdowns. The third pick overall in 2003 spent his first 12 seasons with the Titans AFC South rival, the Houston Texans, where he is the franchises all-time leading receiver. He played last season with Indianapolis, where he caught 41 passes for 503 yards and four touchdowns.Mularkey said Johnson is in great shape and has only been promised he will compete for a starting job -- the same promise made to all of the Titans as training camp opens. Johnson would have led Tennessee receivers with his receptions last season, and will be a big boost for young receivers like Dorial Green-Beckham and Justin Hunter. Johnson was flying into Nashville on Friday night and should be on the field for the first practice Saturday.He thinks he can still play at a high level, Mularkey said of Johnson. Were going to give him an opportunity to compete.Game notes Mularkey said rookie OLB Kevin Dodd, the 33rd pick overall in the draft, will start camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list. Dodd had preventative surgery in late May on his right foot, and Mularkey said Dodd could be cleared soon.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

Water Bottle Hydro Flask 24 oz Standard Mouth Mint . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. This post contains spoilers.Sports are just as much mental competition as they are physical, and its OK, to not be OK. Thats what my coaches always said to me growing up, and thats the very point Pitch makes this week. With Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) reeling from the pressure of being Ginny-freaking-Baker, the powers that be called in a sports psychiatrist for her.Im here for any message that disrupts the play through the pain (any kind of pain) mantra that dominates sports. Watching Ginny let loose was fun at first, until it became clear that she was unraveling. That was far less comfortable.Ginny, however, never went to college; she never partied. Not to mention the fact that she appears to only hang out with men except for Evelyn (Meagan Holder), who is her teammate Blips (Mo McRae) wife -- and her agent Amelia (Ali Larter).She needs a friend, and she certainly finds one in Cara (played by Lyndsy Fonseca, Agent Carter, Kick-Ass) -- who is a server Ginny meets during her Nike endorsement launch party and has an instant connection with. Im going to let the interesting tension simmering between the two of them slide (including that really interesting joke in the bathtub), but know that my inner-queer fangirl was screaming the whole time.Cara takes Ginny to a friends house party after ditching Ginnys semi-stuffy launch event. Ginny feels comfortable in this setting -- shes playing Mario Kart and even finds time to dunk in a really expensive dress while wearing New Balance sneakers (she seems to ironically drum up a pair of NBs, rather than Nikes). She goes to the beach, passes out in Caras car and wakes up in front of her job site -- Petco Park -- because Cara is the best human and makes sure she gets to work.Team manager Al (Dan Lauria), GM Oscar (Mark Consuelos) and Charlie -- the new director of baseball operations played by Kevin Connolly (Entourage) -- all confront Ginny about the events that transpired the previous night. They make it clear that they care about her as a person and not just as a commodity they can sell to put butts in the stadium seats. Perhaps the best part of this storyline is just how much of an advocate Al has become for Ginnyy.dddddddddddd He cares about her just as he does all of his players. Even if it is a little paternalistic, its still nice to see.Underneath this discussion of mental health, however, is the simmering tension between Ginny and Amelia. Amelia started to date Mike Lawson (a catcher, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar) in previous episodes, and Ginny is not handling it well. Its not clear what the source of her consternation is (please, do not let it be a love triangle), but for this episode, shes upset that Mike knew she had a panic attack because Amelia was with him when she called. He asked her if she was having another one on the mound, and Ginny looked like she wanted to punch him in the face... and Amelia right after.Ginny and Amelia have a deep relationship that I hope is explored more going forward, but its clear that Amelia struggles to balance her personal feelings of allegiance to Ginny, with only being her shark of an agent. That connection was challenged directly due to Amelias actions, which didnt sit right with her, so she broke it off with Mike.On the surface, Amelia seems cold and selfish, but its actually quite the opposite. She sees Ginny as a surrogate member of her family because she has no one else. Her husband is gone; she doesnt have children; and we never see her with other clients. She wants Ginny to smile, have fun and most of all, love her the way Amelia seems to love Ginny.With two strong women, you dont necessarily need to be as strong with each other, Ali Larter said to me on set in August. I think Amelia misses that vulnerability Ginny shared with her and desperately wants it back.How Ginny handles her mental health moving forward will be an interesting and much-needed storyline. I trust the writers wholeheartedly to handle that script with care. What is currently giving me heart palpitations, however, is the Amelia/Mike/Ginny feelings that are swirling. I just want Ginny to play baseball and maybe fall in love with a non-baseball playing person. That seems totally reasonable.Can that happen, please?
