Last week, Young apparently told NFL.com writer Thomas George that he was considering retirement, but this week, he says, well, something else: More »

The shirtless drinking photos of Titans quarterback Vince Young have been circulating around the internet for the past 12 hours, with all sorts of questions as to what in the name of all that is Nelly is going on here.

Vince Young Does Not Fear Hard Surfaces


Winning the Turnover Battle has found video of the Titans' practice altercation between Vince Young and safety Donny Nickey on Wednesday, noteworthy for no other reason, really, than the fact that Young punched Nickey in the head while Nickey was wearing his helmet.

Begin Preparing For The Vince Young Injury

ESPN Video Games had him at 12-1 odds, but Nashville City Paper is reporting that Vince Young will be on the cover of Madden 2008.

And with a quickness, the Titans select Vince Young. Normally, I'm rooting for them to speed this thing up. Doing Deadspin, though... I'd like them to slow the hell down. More »

Setting The Vince Young Record Straight

All the buzz yesterday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis — because when something's buzzing in Indianapolis, it can be heard everywhere — involved a supposed score of "6" by Texas quarterback Vince Young on his Wonderlic test. (To wit, realizing that the pen they give is to be written with, and not used as a Q-tip, is enough to get you a five.)

• Morris Peterson gets ejected from the Raptors/Nets game for slapping Vince Carter in the face. I didn't see it, so I can't comment, but I can't think of too many reasons to not slap Vince Carter. Sorry. I'm not a Vince Carter fan. More »
