What is it with Titans players not being able to stay out of trouble lately?
Vince Young was involved in a fight at a Dallas strip club over the weekend after a club employee taunted Young with an upside hook em' horns symbol. Young then responded to the insult of his alma-mater by shoving a few people out of the way and landing a punch on the employee in a small office.
You've probably already seen video of this altercation, and if not then ESPN or YouTube will gladly supply you with that priceless footage.
The employee is originally from Oklahoma, which is obviously Texas's long-time rival in college athletics.
Instead of using self-control, Young proved he still has a ton of growing up to do. This is something an 18-year-old might do because he's just getting use to going to a nightclub, but not an adult who is suppose to be setting an example for young teens.
You have to expect Young to get some sort of punishment from Roger Goodell, which has had his hands full since becoming commissioner.
Young is lucky to only get a minor citation from the altercation, but the NFL has proven in the past that they can be harsher than the law.
When are these athletes going to learn that being in these nightclubs greatly increases the likelihood of putting themselves in a negative spotlight.
The employee suffered a cut to his lip from the incident, but nothing serious.
It's now a possibility that Kerry Collins may have to step back in as a temporary starter and send the Titans back down the dark road of who the starting quarterback is going to be.
As much as I don't want to see Collins thrown back in as the starter, in this situation Young has to be suspended in a no-nonsense league that the NFL has become.
This video puts a negative light on the NFL and that will lead to a suspension from Goodell.
Thanks, Vince. I hope punching that average joe was worth it. Now we're stuck with Kerry once again.
