Breaking News - Vince Young Likes Fried Chicken

I woke up to a lot of banter on morning sports talk shows about the state of mind of Vince Young. Chris Mortensen may have said the most absurd, semi-racist thing I've heard before 9am. He was describing the situation where the police was searching for Vince Young and worried about his state of mind. They found him at his buddy's house watching Monday Night Football. Mortensen said, "He was just at his buddy's house eating fried chicken and watching football." I think a better use of words could have been used when describing what Young was doing at a friend's house. I mean you either refrain from using "fried chicken" in reference to a African-American male or you go all out and make it like he was re-enacting a scene from the movie "Friday" or "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In Your Hood."

Vince Young seems like a pretty weak person. The kind of person that has went through life where he's been showered with praise. I know he may have had a harsh childhood financially, but you know he had the football field to rip the local guys up when he was feeling a little down. He hasn't had the chance to do anything in the NFL yet, the only reason they were in the playoffs last year was due to Indianapolis playing Jim Sorgi and resting Peyton Manning in the final game of the year.

Yong has a few weeks to heal up physically and get his mind around the situation. I think he may need a mentor to help him through everything or he'll end up like Michael Vick. I'm not saying that he is going to be the Don King of professional dog-fighting, but he will end up being a bust and never maturing into the kind of NFL player he should become. The Titans did sign Chris Simms, he also went to University of Texas, I don't think they have much in common, but maybe he can help Young out. The best situation would have been the Titans drafting Limas Sweed, Young target at UT in last year's draft, but that didn't happen.

Kerry Collins isn't going to steal anyone's job away. Collins has had some success in the NFL, he lead a star-less NY Giants offense to the Super Bowl nearly a decade ago. If the Titans signed Daunte Culpepper or drafted another young quarterback last season, Young would have been all but out of Tennessee, but it's still his job to lose.I would have checked the clubs out first before I called the cops.
