Man up Vince Young

On Sunday, another spectacle in the arena of sports immaturity occurred in Tennessee. Once again, the leader of this three ring fiasco was none other than Vince Young, whose inability to handle anything remotely resembling adversity is starting to achieve legendary status. This time, Young was upset about being removed from the game and not permitted to re-enter, despite the fact that he had severe problems gripping the football and did not mention to anyone that he wanted to play.

So VY reacted to this as only VY can. He took his jersey and shoulder pads and threw them into the crowd. Then he followed that up by walking out of the post game meeting. When his coach, Jeff Fisher, told him that he was walking out on the team, he replied with 'No, I'm walking out on you.' Absolutely classic line right there. And people were concerned about Randy Moss being a problem in the clubhouse.

Then on Monday, Young attempted to enter the team meeting as though nothing happened. Only now, Fisher placed VY on the IR, since his thumb is going to require surgery and he will not be recovered by the end of the season. As such, he is not required to attend these meetings. In order to drive that point home, Fisher had Young removed from the facility, and told him not to come back. To be honest, I think Young handled that part well, in that no one had to contact the suicide hotline or put out an APB to locate him afterwards.

Finally, it dawned on our wayward quarterback that he should apologize to his coach. So, how does he choice to accomplish this task? In a way that only Vince Young and other people that are too cowardly to do so in person would - he sent a text message. Now, I realize that I don't know Jeff Fisher personally, but based off the Tom Selleck mustache he has, I'm thinking that Fisher doesn't quite know how to text. In fact, to quote Coach Fisher: "I'm not a real big text guy. I'm not really into this new-age stuff," he said. "I don't Twitter or tweet. But I think face-to-face is a man thing, OK?" In fact, when he was asked if a text was better than no apology at all, Fisher said: "Someone could have grabbed his phone."

So Vince Young, man up. It would be the first time you did.
