I can't say I blame them.Professional athletes who say they're sick of all the BS and will quit the game they love. I understand it. There are days that I don't want to sit in my pajamas, turn on the computer and type this crap so you can read it at work instead of doing the work you're supposed to do. It's a grind.
So when the Tennessee Titan's prima dona quarterback Vince Young says he's gonna quit and go home (okay, when his MOM says he's depressed and gonna quit) I believe him. But hold on a minute there Vinny: don't go all Rickie Williams on us now! You remember Rickie, don't you Vince? Powerful running back for the Dolphins who kept having problems with marijuana, left football to become some kind of "new age" guru, then found out how little those guys get paid and came running back to the NFL. But by then, the magic was gone. The same could happen to you Vince. Just look what happened to that other scrambling quarterback for Atlanta who got busted for fighting chihuahuas. What was his name again? Mike, Michael . . . something? I'll Google it later and get back to you.
We should have all see this one coming two years ago when Vince didn't do so well on his Wonderlic aptitude test at the NFL Combine. At the time, everyone passed his record low score of 6 (out of 50) off as a mistake or misunderstanding. No one is saying Young in stupid (are you?) but it may show that when he doesn't think he needs to study or work at something--even when it's very important--he won't.
In high school and college Young was a physical specimen who could use his raw talent to beat lesser foes. But in the NFL, Vince is no longer the only guy with size and speed . . . and it's catching up to him. So, it turns out, he may actually have to work at being an NFL quarterback and smile at the fans booing him on a regular basis . . . something I'm sure never happened at the University of Texas. Instead though, according to his own mother, Vince is depressed and considering quitting football.
Bye.
