Suicidal? .....
That is the question. (Report: Young search due to suicide talk (AP) )
By now you have heard of the latest from Tennessee Titan QB Vince Young. After Sunday's game, in which Young was ....well .....terrible.....(He was booed, threw a costly interception, and was injured).
Well, that night , Young disappeared........without his cell phone.....and his family called upon the Memphis police to find his where-abouts.
And ..........he was found.......watching a football game at a friends house....and eating hot wings.
His Mom issued a statement to the press pleading for us to just give Vince ........love....."He's depressed", she said.
Well, Mr. Young, welcome to the big time. You are an NFL QB. You are the cornerstone of the organization. You make millions annually ..........It comes with the territory.
If your psychic make-up is that shallow.......maybe .......just maybe.....you're in the wrong business.
In another sport, the saying is, "There's no crying in baseball".........
In the cruel world of the NFL..........not only is there no crying.......but there is no pouting, no blaming, no self pity, no understanding, no sympathy, no gain no pain, no shame, no nothing.......
Only the strongest of the strongest survive.
Vince Young has led a rather sheltered life.....High school All-American........College star....National Championship.
The NFL is different.....No longer can he "out-athlete " on a field with 22 great athletes.......as he did in high school and college.
The great ones always rise above.......and you never hear from their Mom........
Vince......you hearing this?
