Ex-Bengals coach Sam Wyche held team meeting in the nude, Boomer Esiason recalls

Motivating players can be difficult, so former coach Sam Wyche tried some interesting strategies during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals.

One strategy, as former quarterback Boomer Esiason revealed Monday morning on CSN New England, was to strip naked in front of his team. There's obviously some context to go along with this story, but it still is a strange story.

Wyche wanted to motivate safety David Fulcher, whose nickname was Fo-Rock. Wyche, who approached the team on a Friday wearing a matching sweatsuit, told Fulcher he would get the sweatsuit if the team won and he had a good game.
