  Vince Young is such a damn pre-madonna.  I couldnt stand his attitude at Texas, and definitely have considered him the most overrated quarterback in the league since ESPN jumped on his jock.

  Wouldn't a good place for Vince to find "love and support" be...his...mother?

  Wait, what? Did his mom really just say that to the national media? Damn, I need "love and support", too, but thank Mother Theresa my mom never decided to tell the media about it. If Vince wasn't depressed before his mom's career killer of a comment, he most certainly is now.

  Seriously people. When was the last time you heard an NFL player's mom tell the media that her son just needs "love and support"? Never, that's when. For all intents and purposes, Vince Young's career is over. I don't even think Canada would take him at this point.

... UPDATE: Read this tick-tock on the last 48 hours for VY. As arguably the greatest college QB of the ESPN Era, it is painful to watch him struggle in the NFL. You have to wonder if his career will ever bounce back; I think that at a minimum, he needs to get out of Tennessee and onto a new team, a fresh start. (But what if his particular set of skills will never let him be a particularly productive NFL QB?) Ah, for the days of ...
