I can actually understand the sentiment on some level. Probably not something you want to put out in the media though. I can only relate this to personal experience, which is different from Vince Young's obviously, but it's what I have to draw upon. When I was in high school all I wanted to do was keep playing football. I only applied to schools that contacted me about playing football, and I had really high test scores and could have gone to a lot of other places but I just wanted to keep playing. I ended up at a pretty good school (DIII, I was not particularly tall or fast or big) and started nine games as a freshman, but it was never really the same as playing in high school, never as much fun. Then the coach left - who kind of was a jerk anyway - and there was no offseason program to really speak of and I was sick of being so far from home so I transferred and never played football again. I never really regretted it or missed it (until years later) because that experience had sucked the fun out of football for me. Looking back I would have made some different decisions perhaps, but I was 18 and thought I had it all figured out. But in case anyone is still reading, I can understand how football can stop being fun and how you could contemplate quitting.

Now, if I was a Titans fan I would be worried. I'd see visions of Barry Sanders or Robert Smith and think that the franchise basically rests on Vince at this point and wonder how committed the guy really is. I also remember, though, that I saw an ESPN piece on Edgerrin James after his first or second year in the league and he said some of the same things ... and he's kept on playing. I don't suspect much will come of it, but probably something Vince should have kept to himself.

It's a real testament to the power that money holds over women for an ugly ass, goofy looking, beard sporting, sloppy drunk like Orton to get some hot blonde all over him.

I'd like to think the only thing holding me back is large amounts of cash.
