He just struck me as a punk last year when they were playing the Texans.

I think he's overrated--- played for a huge school in the lopsided, ridiculous NCAA, and can run fast. So what? Steve Young and Warren Moon could run fast too, and both of those guys could throw the "sideline-out" to a guy on his knees, on the fly, and could have taken over for the offensive coordinator. Vince Young can run fast.

Now we see on video, his violent side, for a "gesture." wow.

... and he hangs out in t***y bars. impressive.

--tell me how I am wrong. I am listening.

I agree about him being a punk, and him not being that talented. But, what's wrong with hanging out in the t***y bars? Not that I would do that sort of thing.

Seems like yesterday..we were all praising him for being a big brother to Steve McNairs kids...oh well...

Thats a good point of contention. Good people can do bad things & vice versa. Im certainly not proud of everything I've done in my life.

The positive here, is that Young could see himself in the video and think, "Damn I'm a jerk," and it could change the way he acts in the future.

Another positive could be him realizing that the whole world knows he hangs out in t***y bars, which could embarrass him into changing that also.

A general sense of humilty wouldnt hurt any of us.

I have issues with his conduct and others.
You have it alll so act like you have some common sense and decency.

It is not so hard to do.

Sounds like our moms raised us right, Brina.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I think those just about cover my thoughts on this. People make mistakes. They shouldn't have to pay for them, for the rest of their lives.

good to see Jesus quoted here in a positive light. He also said, "I am the Way, The Truth, and the Light." Do you believe this?They were going to execute a woman for having sex. Lets keep things in context.
probably the most quoted out of context scripture in the whole Bible. I saw a guy try to get out of jury duty with that one.
I absolutely agree with you. Unless we're talking about a capital offense. But first he has to be sorry for it.

I can think of a lot of people, many athletes included, whom we should forget about their past. Im sickened by the treatment of Tiger Woods, for example. His sex life is of no interest to me. Beating up people is a different thing to me. Ben Rothlesberger is a bit more serious, also, as he apparently has a more malevolent problem. But if they wish to change and regret their mistakes, you are completly right here.

And I can be completely wrong, as VY might be a super nice guy, who had a bad moment. I still say athletes should not hang out in t***y bars. Its bad publicity. makes you look like a loser. He can afford to hire his own strippers to come to his house, keeping him out of the news, and out of the public eye.

Young could also be a brilliant offensive mind, and a master strategist, and I just am unable to see it. But I'll bet Drew Brees could take him in a game of bullseye.

peace.
