After Vince Young left Sunday’s game after a knee injury has he gone AWOL? According to WKRN-TV, the Titans are concerned about the “mental state” of their field general after suffering a knee sprain against the Jags, that may keep him out for up to four weeks. I am sure Vince is upset over suffering an injury in the first game of the season, but that is no reason for Jeff Fisher to call the police. Young apparently left his cell phone at home when he left his house on Monday. When Fisher was unable to reach Young, he decided the best plan of action was to call the “po-po”. The story goes on to mention that Young had an unloaded handgun in his car (Tennessee law permits unloaded handgun in a vehicle as long as no ammunition is present). Why would they allow you to carry a weapon with no ammunition…what’s the purpose? I digress. Anyway…the way this incident was reported, you would think that Vince Young was trying to kill himself over a knee injury. Just because a team can’t get in touch with their star player, doesn’t constitue them getting the law involved to find him. Fisher, should have just called Young’s agent instead of the police. According to Vince’s agent, he was doing what most men in America were doing Monday night, watching football and eating wings.

Young was scheduled to have an MRI on his knee Monday, but it has been rescheduled for today. Why does it seem the Titans treat their QB’s so poorly? This incident brings back memories of how they treated Steve McNair before he went to play for the Ravens. McNair was still on the Titans roster, yet the team denied him any access to practice or use of the training facility. That was the ultimate slap in the face for a guy that led the franchise to within a few inches of a SuperBowl title. The Titans P.R. department really dropped the ball on this one. They should have never let this story out into the hands of the media. They have made Young appear to be mentally unstable and possibly more suicidal than Sean Kingston. Young has every right to be upset with his franchise. First of all, they have not done anything to enhance the offense since Young has been the QB. The Titans have not one legitmate WR on their depth chart capable of getting anywhere near 70 receptions or 1000 yards. Now, they are making Young seem like he has lost his mind. Vince, if you are reading this, remember how they treated McNair, and don’t rush back from your injury until the Titans can get you some receivers that can actually catch the ball.
YO VINCE, LET ME GET THAT BRACELET, HOMIE!
Vince…I am not your agent, but I advise you to do the following: Stay out as long as possible, demand a trade to a team with good receivers, and make sure you add a clause to your contract which states, “When I leave my celly at home, the Police are never to be contacted to find me.”
