Vince Young, the (currently backup) quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, recently said in a radio interview that he wants to start, and if he's not going to remain on the bench for the Titans, maybe it would be best for his career to move on to a team that wants him to play. Paul Kuharsky, an ESPN.com NFL blogger, had this to say:
Yes, those are the two options: he either knew, or did not know, that his comments would cause some sort of local media controversy. Quite the guess there, Paul. Way to really go out on a limb and guess that it was either one or the other, when it had to be one or the other. (To be fair, though, it's not clear exactly what is supposed to now be underway. "It." The "big stir," which Kuharsky seems to be in the process of creating?)
Seriously, ESPN (and Sports Illustrated; I don't discriminate), I'm pretty sure I can do a better job for you -- and at a lower salary -- than some of the people you're currently employing. You know where to find me when you want to start negotiating.
I don't follow NFL football until the Super Bowl comes around. But I do remember Vince Young from his UT days, the QB who led his team to National Championship in a thrilling finish and whom the Houston Texans foolishly passed over in the draft. So, the Tennessee Titans are using the "inVinceable" as a bench warmer? Great! And now Young will either keep "sitting" for them or play for another team? What a nail biting suspense!
Sports writers, like many of their counterparts in serious journalism like to yak even when there is nothing to say.
