Vince Young: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Vince Young very nearly quit football

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shu...?urn=nfl,84426

For the first time this year, the people at EA Sports elected to put a retired player on the cover of their Madden video game. Unbeknownst to them, they almost did the same thing last year. Vince Young was ready to quit football after his rookie year.

He doesn't go into great detail about the reasons, but he did tell Thomas George of NFL.com that things were once so bad for him that retirement was a viable option.

"I really thought long and hard about it. There was so much going on with my family. It was crazy being an NFL quarterback. It wasn't fun anymore. All of the fun was out of it. All of the excitement was gone. All I was doing was worrying about things."

If nothing else, it's a reminder that we never, ever really know what's going on with our favorite athletes. Or anyone, really. Being rich, being famous, being idolized, being on the cover of Madden ... none of it guarantees that a guy won't be sitting at home crying his eyes out and listening to, I don't know, Elliott Smith albums or something.

If he even considered walking away from life in the NFL, whatever pain or frustration he was experiencing had to be pretty profound. It's probably Merril Hoge's fault.

Young's feeling better about things now, though.

"My teammates helped lift me out of it. I prayed really hard. And I began to focus on God's calling for me. Play football. Be a role model."

That's good to hear. And I suppose this post wouldn't be complete without mention of these pictures that made the rounds recently. I never paid them much attention here, because I didn't think they were that big of a deal. He's sweaty, he's shirtless, he's drinking. He's allowed. More than half of the posts I'll make today will be in the same condition.

It's odd to think, though, that if the same pictured had surfaced a year ago, and they got the same attention, it might have been the thing that pushed Vince Young into an extremely early retirement.

WTF would Vince Young had done if he had quit football?

Unlike the NFL, Fortune 500 companies DO care about getting a SIX on the Wonderlic.

What's embarrassing is what Young did to our defense last year. It might have been the best game he's ever played from a passing standpoint.

Plenty of people can run around and make defenders miss them, they're called running backs. Unfortunately VY didn't get the memo that NFL teams want a QB when they draft you as a QB.

And a lot more patience since he was a 1st rounder.

I'm sure there are plenty of fans that would rather have this guy over Brodie, because he's a 1st rounder...so he's legit.
